Do you think the facade is distinct or distracting?

Nest Seekers 

Prospect Lefferts Gardens is known for its blocks of lovely limestone buildings, but 392 Fenimore St., a gut-renovated, two-family just listed for $1,590,000, cuts a distinctly modern profile. (This is what it looked like before its makeover.) 

The 2,880-square-foot five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath has hardwood floors, floating stairs, central heating and cooling, and a washer/dryer. 

The owner's duplex kitchen has an island, marble countertops, a walk-in pantry, and stainless steel appliances. A dining room provides access to a deck, which leads down to the yard below.

In addition to the back yard with seating and planters, the townhouse has a roof deck.

The three bedrooms are on the second floor. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet, with a private en suite bath. The other two bedrooms share a full bath and balcony.

The one bedroom rental on the garden floor features an open-concept living room and kitchen. It has a full bathroom with dual vanity sinks and a walk-in shower. The yard can also be accessed from the apartment. (The bathroom here seems to be still in-progress.)

The townhouse is two blocks from the Winthrop Street stop on the 2 and 5 trains. Notable spots nearby include Kings County Hospital, and Prospect Park to the west.
