Description

It has been said, ?Architecture, of all the arts, is the one that acts most surely upon the soul,? and when one basks in the quiet grandeur of this wonderful prime Park Slope townhouse, the soul, as well as all the other lovely parts, will feel very much at home. Located steps from 8th Avenue on a beautiful tree-lined block, the 1892 Romanesque Revival exterior of this home makes a significant contribution to the Park Slope Historic District. Its south facing windows are still topped with original intact stained glass. Outside, the parlor floor entrance has been painstakingly restored. Inside, the maxim of ?everything at once, but never too much? has been liberally applied under a watchful eye. The effect is turnkey living that only estate-quality work can present. Abundant Arts and Crafts details have been carefully preserved, modern necessities such as new electrical throughout nourish the house?s sturdy structural bones. The completely renovated and reconfigured garden level has a brand new designer kitchen?understated in tone and finish?that opens to a dining area and beyond to a spacious family room. As do all the rooms on the other floors, the family room sports restored original plaster crown mouldings, a restored fireplace?one of seven?and other details perfectly blended with this floor?s newly opened space. The yard features a mature perennial garden. The parlor floor has all the classic brownstone features, from pocket doors to restored Arts and Crafts fireplace mantles and inlaid floors. One flight up you will find two large bedrooms with original fireplaces, parquet floors, dressing areas with original millwork and working vanity sinks, in addition to a full bath with restored wainscoting and claw foot tub. On the top floor, three skylights, a convenience kitchen and full bath, two bedrooms and a large third room that can be a living room, exercise room or anything else, according to your needs. With this perfect balance of old world solidity and modern refinements, this is a home for a family that requires more than the readily available ?so-so.? This is that special ?just-so.?
