## Property Overview

Built in 1901 and located in Historic Ditmas Park, this exceptional residence, once the family home of former Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman, combines remarkable architectural detail, generous proportions, and an abundance of natural light. Rich in character and thoughtfully maintained, the home offers a rare blend of historic craftsmanship and comfortable modern living. Throughout, period light fixtures, much of the original door hardware, and an extraordinary amount of closet and storage space speak to both the home's authenticity and practicality.

A covered portico and brick patio provide a welcoming entrance, framed by mature landscaping and a canopy of trees that creates a sense of arrival and privacy. Inside, the gracious foyer showcases many of the home's distinctive original features, including an elegant archway with a mirrored service bar and original built-in cabinetry that connects directly to the kitchen, and a striking tiger oak staircase with bronze-cast spindles featuring intricate rope-and-tassel detailing.

Adjacent to the foyer, the library offers floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving and a decorative fireplace, creating a warm and inviting retreat. The expansive living room is flooded with light from five original multi-paned metal casement windows and features a hand-carved mantel and rare cast plaster palm frond molding. Throughout the day, sunlight moves across the room, highlighting the artistry and scale of this extraordinary space.

The formal dining room comfortably accommodates large gatherings while maintaining an intimate atmosphere for everyday meals. It connects to the spacious eat-in kitchen, designed with both function and entertaining in mind. Features include a large center island with sink, a butler's pantry, two additional pantry closets, and premium appliances including a Wolf range, wall oven and microwave, Miele dishwasher, and Sub-Zero refrigerator.

Beyond the kitchen, the landscaped backyard serves as a private extension of the home. A bluestone dining terrace overlooks a broad lawn bordered by mature plantings, including hydrangeas, a fig tree, Japanese maple, and established perennial gardens, creating a peaceful setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet afternoons.

The second floor includes three bright bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary suite features a marble mantel, an en-suite bath, and a dressing room with four closets containing unique original built-in cabinetry. A second bedroom includes custom built-ins and a desk, while the third is well suited as a nursery, office, or guest room.

Three additional bedrooms occupy the third floor, along with a full bath. One bedroom features a spiral staircase leading to a loft space ideal for a home office, media room, or play area, while another includes a large walk-in closet. Generous closets and storage areas are found throughout this level as well. Like the rest of the home, these rooms benefit from beautiful natural light and leafy neighborhood views.

The finished basement provides substantial additional living space, including a large recreation room, a spa-like Jacuzzi tub and sauna, a full bathroom, and a laundry room with LG front-loading washer and dryer.

A detached two-car garage and private driveway with parking for two additional vehicles complete the property.

Ideally located near the shops, restaurants, and neighborhood amenities of Cortelyou Road and Newkirk Plaza, with convenient access to the B and Q trains, this is a rare opportunity to own a distinguished historic home that combines architectural significance, exceptional scale, and a gracious connection to both indoor and outdoor living.

## Sales Evidence

### Recent closed sales

1815 Ditmas Avenue has one recorded sale since September 2021, the most recent for $1,080,000 in December 2022. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices.

| Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Entire property (Single Family Residence) | 4 | 3,034 | $1,080,000 | $356/ft² | December 9, 2022 | MLS |

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable house sales in Ditmas Park is $2,250,000, based on 17 sales between November 2022 and July 2026. This home is asking $3,400,000, $1,150,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,915,000 and $2,500,000.

- **Median closed price**: $2,250,000
- **Middle half**: $1,915,000 – $2,500,000
- **Based on**: 17 house sales in Ditmas Park
- **Period**: November 2022 – July 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $668/ft²

Across the 17 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98% of what it originally asked. 71% of them closed below the original ask.

A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Ditmas Park. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 98% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 71% of 17 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 67 days (about 10 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 58 days (about 8 weeks)

Across the 17 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98% of what it originally asked. 71% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 67 days (about 10 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 16 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 58 days (about 8 weeks), based on the 16 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 17 house sales in Ditmas Park, November 2022 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3051820045. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
