Description

48 Tompkins Place offers the rare opportunity to own a mint condition, landmark townhouse on one of the loveliest blocks in Brownstone Brooklyn. This 4 story, 4+ bedroom home on a 113-foot lot, seamlessly integrates the finest finishes and architectural details with an easy and low-key charm. Entering under the detailed brownstone facade, you are greeted by a double doored tiled foyer. The home?s details are bold and creative. In the front hall, ten foot sliding barn-style doors open to reveal a modern yet elegant open parlor. The ceilings on this floor soar to 12? and are capped with Roll & Hill light fixtures. The lofty height of this level paired with extra tall windows in the front and the gracious French doors to the rear deck, allow sunlight to pour in from nearly all angles. The stunning kitchen features custom-built cabinets, Cote d'Azur marble counters, top of the line Miele, Subzero and Blue Star stainless steel appliances and a tremendous amount of storage. From the kitchen, a wainscotted passageway invites you into a cozy breakfast room with custom-built upholstered seating. Surrounded by western facing windows showcasing the private garden, and French doors to the upper deck, you may never want to leave this inviting space! Up one flight is the master suite, a peaceful bedroom that connects to a private study and a magnificent and spacious master walk-through closet for two. The impossibly chic ensuite windowed master bath features Waterworks fixtures, gleaming tile and a linen closet. This floor also has a half bath with Flavor Paper wallpaper and, in the rear, a cozy media room with access to a western facing terrace which overlooks the home?s back garden. The top floor offers two huge matching bedrooms with exposed beams and ensuite sky lit bathrooms complete with retro tiles, a farm style sink, and a walk-in shower. There is also a second washer/dryer and additional storage. The new skylight in the staircase floods the upper levels of the home with natural sunlight. The garden level is currently configured as a lovely guest bedroom with ensuite bath, a second full laundry room and another whimsical half bath. There is a spacious yoga room/family room with a wall of windows and doors that spill directly onto the custom bluestone backyard and professionally-landscaped gardens. There is even a windowed kitchenette for houseguests or for your outdoor dinner gatherings with friends. Beautiful 5? solid oak floors, four zone central air, a brightly finished basement for storage, a wine cellar with wine refrigerator, and alarm and Nest systems add convenience to this thoughtfully-designed home. Perfectly poised on Cobble Hill?s most picturesque place block, this home is close to the neighborhood?s shops, boutiques, schools, beloved restaurants and cafes. The subway is just two blocks away and tree-lined brownstone streets abound in every direction. This rare mint home is your Brooklyn brownstone dream!
