This apartment is the ENTIRE PARLOR FLOOR of a truly one-of-a-kind 28' wide brownstone built on a 150' deep lot, offering 12.5' ceilings, incredible original details, a loft-like living and dining space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an oversized kitchen, and a super private backyard paradise that needs to be seen to be believed.
Situated on a quiet and treelined block in Brooklyn's first stunning Landmarked neighborhood complete with gas lamps and large landscaped front yards, you will enjoy the sound of the birds chirping outside your window, Brooklyn Bridge Park, the world-famous promenade, and a plethora of intimate restaurants and shops from days gone-by. There is NO reason to decamp to the suburbs when you can experience such incredible indoor and outdoor space AND convenience, with public and private schools a few blocks in every direction, and every single subway line and the Ferry just a stone's throw away. This home is the best of all worlds beyond questionable doubt.
Enter though the dramatic front doors of this stunning Italianate brownstone to a home with the warmth of a turn-of-the-century townhouse but the open space and drama of loft-living. The truly majestic great room offers wedding cake plaster detail in mint condition, a magnificent marble fireplace, gleaming inlaid wood floors, and custom built-ins for storage. Rejoice in finally having enough space for a dining table for large gatherings, a living room that accommodates oversized and comfortable furniture, and the perfect flow right outside to your private garden. The garden enjoys trees, perennials, and a hardscaped area created from rustic brick and bluestone with the perfect patina awaiting your outdoor dining table, grill, and lounge chairs.
Head back indoors where an oversized kitchen awaits. Open to the dining area for convenience and socializing, this suburban-sized kitchen enjoys ceiling-height cabinetry that will accommodate every kitchen tool in your collection. A paneled sub-zero awaits, as do miles of granite counter space for creating real meals at home.
Offering the perfect separation between public and private space, all three bedrooms are spacious with excellent closet space, and offer privacy and great light. The grand primary-bedroom in the front enjoys oversized floor-to-ceiling windows and plantation shutters for privacy. An ornamental hand-carved white marble fireplace acts as the centerpiece to this resplendent room. The two additional bedrooms both accommodate queen-sized beds or use as guest rooms and/or home offices. Two sizable full bathrooms await, one of which has recently undergone extensive renovation and includes onyx and marble mosaics and countertop and a large glass-enclosed steam shower. Your very own in-unit washer and dryer is the icing on the cake.
This friendly 8-unit coop is very well maintained and offers basement storage. Make an appointment today to see the home that epitomizes all of the reasons that make Brooklyn Heights one of the most wonderful places in the world to call home.
