This lovely Kensington/Windsor Terrace one-and-a-half bedroom, one-bathroom home combines modern updates with coveted original details and private outdoor space in a gorgeous Brownstone Brooklyn neighborhood.

Original millwork, custom lighting and gleaming hardwood floors set a warm and inviting tone in this full-floor home. Enter the sunny, rear-facing great room to find a beautifully updated kitchen featuring ample granite-topped cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting and full-size, stainless steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator plus a dishwasher, gas range and built-in microwave. The massive breakfast bar/island provides space for casual dining while a dramatic pier mirror decorates the adjacent living/dining area. Just outside, your south-facing sunny extra-large private deck welcomes quiet lounging and al fresco dining.

From the great room, open original pocket doors to reveal a cozy den - the perfect spot for a media room or home office - that leads to the oversized bedroom outfitted with a grand decorative fireplace and bay window. The updated bathroom includes handsome tile work and a frameless glass shower. There are two deep closets with overhead storage in the den, and another conveniently situated just outside your entry. All utilities are included in the rent, and central air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.

236 East 5th Street is a non-smoking boutique townhouse rental building offering central laundry and free additional storage. One cat is ok, sorry no dogs. Set at the intersection of Windsor Terrace and Kensington, the home is surrounded by tree-lined residential streets and wide-open green spaces. Beautiful 526-acre Prospect Park offers endless recreation and serenity just three blocks away, and access to transportation is fantastic with F and G trains within 5 minutes of your front door and B and Q trains just a bit further.

KENSINGTON

Surrounded by Windsor Terrace, Borough Park, and Flatbush, Kensington is a diverse, peaceful neighborhood. There's a large Orthodox Jewish population, which has made its mark on the neighborhood with kosher eateries and religious buildings. That said, the majority of new people moving here are young professionals seeking a large, affordable apartment.

Fun Facts and History of Kensington

While Kensington was originally settled as part of The Town of Flatbush, the land wasn't used for much. It wasn't until 1737 that the area was properly settled by the British as farmland. Kensington would be used for agricultural purposes throughout the 1700's and 1800's.

It wasn't until 1885 that Kensington was turned into a residential neighborhood. The Ocean Parkway, finished in 1880, helped make the area popular. Businesses started popping up next to it, as did apartment complexes. By the 1920's, Kensington was full of people.

Kensington ran into some issues around the 1950's and 60's…
