783 Rugby Rd

This exceptional 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home at 783 Rugby Road is perfectly proportioned with some of the most breathtaking original detail that I have ever seen. The unique early Victorian has stunning architecture that surrounds you upon entering the parlor, beginning with an awesome floor to ceiling stone, working fireplace, graceful archways, high wainscoting, pocket doors, leaded windows and built ins, stained glass windows and parquet floors with ribbon inlay. The floor plan is classic with the living room flowing into the bright formal dining room that has an intricate original door leading to the front porch. The dining room connects to a charming eat in kitchen with a convenient powder room and a door leading out to a large, green garden. On the second floor are three bedrooms and a renovated bath with a lovely stained glass window and on the third floors are another two bedrooms and a large full bath. All of the rooms are flooded with light and have more beautiful details including decorative mantles, parquet floors and window seats. The basement has a laundry area and provides great additional storage space. Recent updates include new roof and copper gutters and leaders, updated electrical, new boiler and water heater. In close proximity to the B & Q trains to Manhattan and the shopping and restaurants of Newkirk Ave and Cortelyou Road!
