Property Summary
Description
Enjoy the ambiance of a trip back in time in this spectacular parlor floor coop with both a private deck AND a huge private garden, but sacrifice none of the conveniences of modern living. This spectacular home is located on a block that has been voted one of New Yorks Best Blocks in Time Out Magazine for over a decade. Tree-lined, quiet, and filled with majestic brownstones from Flatbush to Vanderbilt avenues, this special 25-wide home is next to Prospect Park, major transportation hubs, and too many great amenities to count including schools, restaurants, shops, health clubs and grocery stores. Currently used as an oversized one bedroom with separate formal dining and living rooms, at over 1000 sq. ft inside it can easily be converted to a two bedroom. Soaring ceilings with perfectly preserved wedding cake crown moldings, original plantation shutters on floor-to-ceiling windows, stunning inlaid floors, and three magical marble and wood mantles are just some of the historic details that will take your breath away. Juxtaposed with a newly renovated kitchen and bath, what more could you possibly ask for? Custom hand-made Arts and Crafts style cabinetry blends seamlessly with the original details and offers great storage and cooking surfaces for a real chef. Stainless Steel GE Monogram appliances are like new and include a 5-burner stove, a 42 fridge, and honed soapstone counters add a rustic touch. A spa-like bathroom was just renovated and includes oversized stone tiles, great storage, radiant heated floors and a deep soaking tub complete with glass enclosure. Only a handful of blocks in Brooklyn feature these extra deep gardens, so enjoy not only the best inside floor of a townhouse, but also the largest gardens! Easy to BBQ and dine on your deck, and then step down to your huge private backyard and experience all the joys of gardening and entertaining in a real garden. Extremely well maintained coop with a low maintenance. Pet friendly. This one is not to be missed.
