The Neergaard House, designed by architect Aymar Embury II, was built in 1913. Famed for his work at both the Prospect Park and Central Park Zoo, this is one of his rare residential designs. Built somewhat later than most Park Slope townhouses, and taking full advantage of its corner location, The Neergaard House is gracious and light-filled.

The beauty of this home lies not only in its uniqueness, but in its amenities; especially notable is the private driveway. Enjoy the luxury of pulling into your curb cut driveway and stepping out of your car to enter your house via either the elegant front portico or the side kitchen entrance.

The formal entrance to The Neergaard House is through the portico. After taking your coat and shoes off in the spacious entryway, you step into the home?s foyer, facing the center stair which is flooded with light from a well-positioned skylight at the top of the center staircase. To your left is the formal living room, with one eastern and two southern facing windows. The living room also features a beautifully restored wood burning fireplace, the perfect place to gather on a cold winter's day. To the right of the foyer is the formal dining room, which also features three windows with dual exposure. Past the formal dining room is the windowed, eat-in kitchen. Fully renovated, it features a commercial grade South Bend stove, another separate oven, and a banquette with a wrap around bench for casual meals. The sink is perfectly positioned in front of a window, which overlooks the patio, and the floors have radiant heat. There is a large walk-in pantry, too. Also on the first floor is a powder room, and a closet dedicated to the sound system. The kitchen door leads to a gas grill with a dedicated gas line, and the driveway.

Walking up the center stairs to the second floor, you find yourself in a well proportioned landing, with the master bedroom to the left and the den to the right. The den, which connects to the master bedroom through the master bath, contains three windows with two exposures and a second wood burning fireplace. Facing north and east, the master bedroom has lovely morning light. The en-suite bath features his and her sinks as well as radiant heat floors. Also on the second floor is a third bedroom, with its own en-suite bathroom with radiant heat floors.

The third floor contains two large bedrooms on opposite ends of the home with a windowed home office or nursery in between. A bathroom with a large, ornate skylight and two sinks services the bedrooms on the top floor. Through the bedroom on the north side, is a large walk in closet which leads to the attic storage room.

Finally, the English basement provides many amenities. There is a large play room/media room, a full bath, laundry facilities, and another full bath. Storage is plentiful and a separate entrance from the driveway allows for easy bike storage.
