It’s starting to become a real party at the $2Mil club in Prospect Park South, with another Argyle Road home joining the list last week.

While not quite as opulent as some of its neighbors, the three-story home at 162 Argyle Road was called “one of the handsomest” in the area in 1908 (Flatbush To-Day), and a quintessential example of Flatbush Dutch style architecture.

Though the exterior was refaced with aluminum siding and synthetic shingles, the inside maintains many original features like a large front porch, grand foyer, a sunroom/library (yes please!), and a working fireplace framed by original marble. Other perks include a master suite that runs the full width of the house, a laundry room, and a private driveway plus 2-car garage, [according to the listing](https://www.elliman.com/new-york-city/162-argyle-road-brooklyn-vboaetv?ref=bklyner.com).

Historically, this house is steeped in high-society. Built in 1907 by Manhattan architect Hobart A. Walker, it was bought in 1916 by Brooklyn banker and industrialist William G. Creamer, writes the [Prospect Park South historic designation report](http://www.nyc.gov/html/lpc/downloads/pdf/reports/PROSPECT%5FPARK%5FSOUTH%5FHISTORIC%5FDISTRICT.pdf?epi-content=GENERIC&ref=bklyner.com).

The Creamer family regularly dotted the [paper’s ‘Society’ section](https://bklyn.newspapers.com/search/?ref=bklyner.com#query=162+Argyle+Road) for hosting luncheons, teas, and announcements at their Argyle Road home.

The home, on the market for $2.25 million, joins a lively gang at the $2 million club in Prospect Park South, including a [century-old stunner with a koi pond](http://ditmasparkcorner.com/blog/real-estate/century-old-prospect-park-south-home-hidden-pond-join-2-mill-club/?ref=bklyner.com), a couple of [Rugby Road homes that broke the sale record in 2014](http://ditmasparkcorner.com/blog/real-estate/rugby-road-sale-joins-ditmas-parks-2-million-plus-club/?ref=bklyner.com), an [Albermarle Road home purchased by actress Michelle Williams](http://ditmasparkcorner.com/blog/neighbors/welcome-michelle-williams-actress-buys-home-at-1440-albemarle-road/?ref=bklyner.com), a century-old [Marlborough Road home that hit the market in June](http://ditmasparkcorner.com/blog/real-estate/looking-fixer-upper-121-marlborough-road-sale/?ref=bklyner.com), and the[ iconic Albemarle Colonial Revival mansion listed in July](http://ditmasparkcorner.com/blog/real-estate/open-house-iconic-home-prospect-park-south-asking-price-2-9-mill/?ref=bklyner.com).
