AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE YOUR DREAM HOME! Welcome to 494 9th St. This lovely turn-of-the-century home is available for the first time in over 63 years. Beautiful original details have been thoughtfully preserved, including: rich woodwork, intricately designed pocket doors, wainscotting, impressively carved newel posts and balusters, marble fireplaces and a gorgeous pier mirror in the foyer. Oversized windows, soaring ceilings and clean sight lines allow sunshine to spill into every corner of this stately home.

The stunning parlor floor is bright, fresh, open and airy and features an elegant double parlor, a full bath, huge eat-in kitchen and a sun-filled dining room. Head upstairs and there's room to spare in the spacious 2nd and 3rd- floor bedroom suites, complete with dressing rooms, studies and full baths. Each room is generously proportioned and has its own distinctive architectural style and character. There is currently a windowed kitchen on the top level, which could easily be converted to an ensuite bath. The clean, dry basement can be transformed into beautiful living space with its high ceilings, windows and access to the garden.

You're steps away from Prospect Park, which offers miles of running and cycling trails, a newly renovated 32,000 sq ft skating rink, playgrounds and tennis courts. You're close to all of the neighborhood's destination shops, cafes, theatres and restaurants including Pasta Louise, Casa Azul, Fonda, Winner and the Nitehawk Theatre.

Currently configured as a 2-family, it could easily be converted to a grand single family masterpiece. With its flexible floor plan, generously-sized rooms, stunning light, beautifully preserved period detail and solid structure there are endless possibilities to custom design the home of your dreams (see alternate floor plans). Showings start immediately! Don't miss this rare opportunity.
