Every detail has been thoughtfully considered in this meticulously renovated two-family brownstone. Centrally located in the Prospect Heights Historic District, this light-filled home has been re-imagined as a stunning triplex with a sophisticated studio apartment occupying the front portion on the garden level. Four zone central air-conditioning and radiant heated floors in all of the bathrooms are just two examples of upgrades that bring this building into the 21st century. The roof is brand new, the electric and plumbing have been modernized, and there is an integrated alarm system. In keeping with the original charm from when it was built in 1910, moldings have been skillfully maintained and new solid wood doors have been fitted throughout with antique brass hardware. The gorgeous true heart pine floors were reclaimed from the Biltmore Hotel in Clearwater, Florida, walked on by historic figures such as Barack Obama and Babe Ruth. The parlor floor stuns with a show stopping kitchen centered around an island topped with Taj Mahal Quartzite counters and fitted with the highest performing appliances: SubZero refrigerator, Wolf stove/ oven, and a Miele dishwasher. Exposed brick on the east wall adds texture and warmth to the dining area. Connecting the kitchen to the front parlor, an elegant butler's pantry provides a plethora of storage with glass-fronted cabinets and a bar sink. In addition to these amenities, the living level has an exquisite powder room with handmade Moroccan tiles and a custom sink. A breathtaking oval skylight highlights the graceful staircase that ascends to two large bedrooms on the second floor. Each bedroom spans three large windows and a wall of built-in closets. Overlooking the bucolic garden, the back bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a skylight pouring light into the shower and highlighting the black and white encaustic cement tiled floor. The front bedroom is adjacent to a stunning second bathroom with a deep soaking bathtub - both of the bathrooms contain double sinks. A generous portion of the garden level is retained by the owner's unit and maintains private access to the cellar for additional storage. The first floor includes a laundry area with a full-size front loading washer and dryer alongside a laundry basin. The rear addition works well as a media/ play room but could easily be converted to a third bedroom. Plumbing for an additional bathroom is located inside of an adjacent walk-in closet. The deep garden, accessible from the extension, has a bluestone path that leads past lavender and rose beds to a grassy lawn. The studio apartment is extremely well-appointed and affords total privacy with its own entry and vestibule. A great income producer that could also serve as a perfect au pair/ guest suite or home office. The exceptionally deep lot allows for approximately 2,400 square feet of additional buildable space. Situated between Vanderbilt and Carlton Avenues this home enjoys a wide tree-lined street just block from all the stores and restaurants and the B,Q,2, and 3 subways barely five minutes away.
