Built in 1852 and sitting pretty at 25' wide w 4 magnificent light-filled floors, this Italianate-Style brick beauty offers an extension on the bottom two floors and wonderfully preserved historical details throughout. Three private outdoor spaces include a landscaped garden, spacious deck off the parlor floor, and a terrace off the Primary bedroom. Lovingly well-maintained but ready for a facelift by its new owners, this Grand Dame offers the perfect backdrop to create the expansive home of your dreams with museum-quality features at every turn. Currently used as a 2-family, it is easily reimagined as a single-family masterpiece, or keep a high-income rental for added income or friends & family. You won't be able to keep loved ones away when you all fall in love with this perfect location; a wide and picturesque tree-lined block between Court and Clinton streets, replete with awe-inspiring architecture, and the added convenience of every amenity at your doorstep. At your doorstep is Court Street, Smith Street, and Atlantic Avenue, where merchants abound including fine dining, artisanal grocery stores, Trader Joes, Sahadi's, Barnes and Noble, designer boutiques, multiple parking garages, and every subway line at Borough Hall. This is a prime Cobble Hill location that affords easy access to Brooklyn Heights and Boerum Hill while Manhattan is just one subway stop away. Public greenspaces abound with Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Bridge Parks, and don't miss the plethora of public & private schools. The home itself is a study in expansive space combined with old-world refinement and offers open spaces flooded with light on every floor, while also affording the intimacy that only a Mid 19th Century townhouse affords. Head up the stoop to a triple parlor distinguished by a sunroom off the back that houses a massive kitchen and flows perfectly to a private deck and garden oasis through a double set of glass French doors with glass transoms. Indulge your passion for entertaining as the triple parlor accommodates formal dining, grand living, a casual eat-in-kitchen, and a powder room all on one floor, a rare feat in townhouse living. Soaring 12' ceilings with plaster medallions, floor-to-ceiling windows, fully functional stained-glass pocket doors, and two extraordinary hand-carved marble mantles (including a real woodburning fireplace in the living room!) will take your breath away. Equally resplendent adornments are visible on every floor of this elegant property and include original nail-head parquet floors with mahogany inlay, wedding cake plaster moldings, plantation shutters, and 7 mantles throughout crafted of rare marbles, each with its own original design. A majestic sweeping staircase gracefully transports you to the upper floors and is grounded by a hand-carved balustrade. Illuminated by an oversized skylight, there is not one inch of this home that doesn't benefit from incredible light all day long. The next floor up offers three bedrooms, a laundry room, windowed full bath, and walk-in closets, perfect for a Primary suite, home office, dressing room and nursery all on one floor. There is even a deck off the back bedroom. The top floor offers three bedrooms, affording a great kids' or guest floor, with an additional windowed bath and treetop views. Each of the 6 bedrooms in the owner's triplex offers unrivaled proportions and high ceilings. The oversized 1.5 bedroom garden unit is easily incorporated back into the upper three floors as an additional family room and a guest/nanny suite, or collect a great rent. Don't miss the modern farmhouse vibe of the woodburning black matte Malm fireplace and tin ceilings, and a stunning salmon-hued marble mantle on this level. Well-maintained mechanicals include a 2020 hot water heater, a 2013 Burnham boiler, and a roof that was rebuilt in 2005 and re-coated in 2012.
