515 Argyle Road, a two family house, sits on one of the most tranquil blocks in Ditmas Park and boasts three stories plus a full basement. The possibilities are endless at 515 Argyle - keep it as a great income producing asset, home rent apartment or easily transform it into a giant single family home. The garage has been converted into a beautiful office space with the backyard featuring a large patio and a second deck area. The home is bright and is currently in good condition, ready for move in with some small updates or available for renovation to make it another modern masterpiece of DP. Ditmas Park has one of the largest collections of Victorian houses in the nation, many of them grandiose with multiple bedrooms, porches, and garages, and full of stunning details. They were originally built for the prestigious likes of the Guggenheim's, and film stars like Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. This land marked district also contains other styles of houses - Colonial Revivals, Tudors, and even Swiss Chalets line the wide, tree-lined streets. Co-ops are available in this buzzing neighborhood, some with eat-in kitchens and shared garden access with rare apple, peach, cherry and pear trees adding to the country feel of the area. However, Ditmas Park, recently tagged the New San Francisco by New York Magazine, is definitely not the suburbs. There are a variety of great restaurants, notably The Farm on Adderley, which serves delicious American Nouveau cuisine. Cortelyou Road is the major shopping street, with a sprawling green market thats held every Sunday, and Newkirk Plaza - an open-air mall of 30 retailers, recently underwent a million-dollar transformation.
