n a quiet corner of Flatbush, Brooklyn, a rare townhouse listing offers a taste of suburban life in the city. The $1.75 million home on Albemarle Terrace boasts a serene setting near Prospect Park and is part of the little-known Albemarle-Kenmore Terraces Historic District.

    The four-bedroom townhome features hardwood floors, crown moldings, and a woodburning fireplace. Its quintessential neo-Federal facade is among those praised by architecture historians for its charm. The home's interiors are bathed in natural light, with large bay windows and a sunroom that connects to the primary bedroom.

    Albemarle Terrace was built between 1916 and 1917 by the popular Brooklyn-based firm Slee & Bryson, known for their distinctive red brick townhomes with slate roofs and dormers. The community's tranquil atmosphere has remained unchanged over the years, earning it a reputation as a refreshing oasis in the midst of bustling Brooklyn.

    Listing agent Gabe Leibowitz describes Albemarle Terrace as an idyllic neighborhood where neighbors often gather outside and children play freely. With only a handful of sales over the last 15 years, listings along this historic street are extremely rare. The area has also been featured in several TV shows, including HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" and FX's "The Americans."
