One of a stretch of five, single-family houses in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District, it was constructed by owner-builder John C. Sawkins and designed by architect John J. Petit. Plans were filed for the houses in February of 1897, reflecting a commitment to quality and aesthetic that resonates today.
This house was last on the market in 2007 and featured in a House of the Day post, highlighting its rich level of detail inside. Although updated, many of the original features remain intact.
The decorative details on the parlor level are abundant, including pier mirrors, pilasters, columned mantels, built-ins, and wood floors with inlaid borders, which assert the home’s historic character.
Popping up before the Thanksgiving holiday this year, 49 Rutland Road boasts modern updates while preserving elegant touches like hardwood trim, mirrors, and built-in bookcases, catering to 21st-century buyers.
