House in Brooklyn near subway and parks

House in the heart of Brooklyn, near Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery.
Walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, and the subway.

We live in a two-family house on a quiet, tree-lined street, with a very nice tenant living upstairs. Our and our daughter's bedrooms are downstairs in the finished basement. The main level has an eat-in kitchen, living room, play/craft room, and... second living room. Both living rooms have a pull-out couch or futon, meaning in a pinch, there are four beds. Each floor has a bathroom. In the back, we have a bricked yard & garden, with a grill, pergola, and inflatable hot tub.

We have several bikes available to use (including a tandem), but no car (you don't need one in NYC). We have lots of Legos and kids' books.
