Description

In this stunning Park Slope townhouse, turn-of-the-century grandeur and exquisite details harmonize with clean modern lines and understated elegance to create a home of exceptional architectural presence and integrity. A comprehensive renovation restored the original mahogany millwork, plaster ceiling moldings, and stained-glass windows while seamlessly integrating modern amenities, from a dumbwaiter to audio and lighting systems, central air conditioning and a multi-zone heating and central air system. No expense was spared in adapting this grand traditional townhouse to the needs of contemporary life. Built in 1906, this 4-story, 21 limestone contains 4,900+ square feet of living space. Located on one of the prettiest, gas-lit blocks in Park Slope, it lies moments from Prospect Park and the neighborhoods finest schools. The parlor floor contains the grand living room, center parlor, formal dining room, modern kitchen, extravagant woodwork, and a carved mahogany central staircase. The dining room and center parlor have working gas fireplaces with period fire baskets set against marble slabs. The kitchen, a stunning combination of carved wood and sleek surfaces, is located behind French doors and bathed in sunlight from huge windows overlooking the garden. The third floor houses the master bedroom and master bath, in which an original stained-glass window is paired with a modern interior and heated stone floor. From the bedroom, a glass door leads to a south-facing bluestone deck planted with Mediterranean junipers and herbs. A dressing room with built-in closets connects the master bedroom to a large, formal study with gas fireplace and an exquisite library with carved mahogany columns and custom-made bookcases. The fourth floor has been redesigned to house two private suites, each with its own bedroom and connected playroom/study. The two suites are connected by a dressing room with rows of built-in closets. The bathroom on this floor also combines its original stained-glass window with modern fixtures. The garden floor contains a lovely guest suite with private bath, a dedicated media room, two storage rooms, a stunning, high-end laundry room and two walk-in closets. A magnificent south-facing garden is edged by stone terraces and enclosed by a mahogany fence. The apricot tree, climbing roses, clematis, and other plantings are fed by an automatic irrigation system and lit by in-ground lights.
