About this home
Welcome to 139 Fenimore Street, a distinguished detached Colonial-style home in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District, just a short distance from the beauty of Prospect Park. Built in 1905, this landmarked residence stands as a testament to Brooklyn’s architectural heritage, offering warmth, character, and proportions rarely found today.
Set on a 35' x 100' lot, the home spans approximately 2,360 square feet across three levels, plus a full-size finished basement with laundry. The layout includes six bedrooms and four bathrooms, and in total ten rooms plus two basement rooms, allowing for extraordinary flexibility—whether you envision guest suites, home offices, creative spaces, or multi-generational living.
Historic details remain throughout, from original doors and staircases to wood trim and stained glass that speaks of old Brooklyn craftsmanship. Sunlight pours into the home through large windows, enhancing the sense of openness and charm on every floor. A wide front porch, expansive second-floor balcony, and a quiet backyard oasis extend the living space outdoors. Adding to the rarity, the property also offers a private driveway—a true prize in Brooklyn.
While the interiors need updating, the house has been well maintained and recently improved with a new furnace and hot water heater. With thoughtful restoration, this residence can become a generational treasure—blending historic character with modern comforts for decades to come.
The block itself is tree-lined and serene, offering a quiet residential atmosphere just moments from Prospect Park, beloved neighborhood cafes, and cultural landmarks.
Commuting is convenient, with the B & Q trains about 10 minutes away and the 2 & 5 trains about 12 minutes away, plus the B41 and B49 buses just around the corner.
This is more than a home—it’s an opportunity to create your own chapter in the story of Prospect Lefferts Gardens, one of Brooklyn’s most cherished historic districts.
