Property Description
This is the epic townhouse that you have been waiting for ... one of the Grand Dames of Crown Heights, this spectacular example of the Neo-Romanesque Period offers four wide and deep floors filled with the museum-quality historic details for which these homes have become so beloved. Sitting pretty at almost 4000 SF, it offers four floors and a full basement on an extra long 113' lot, allowing you to enjoy an extra deep house with no sacrifices on the size of your garden. The bottom two floors have been built out to 65', while the upper floors are each 45' deep.
Distinguished by a dramatic facade offering bay windows on all four floors outlines by distinct dentil molding, punctuated with a rough stone trim that frames floor-to-ceiling windows accented with stained-glass transoms. Every floor in this home is imbued with even more rich detailing on the inside, a gift from the past that will continue to nurture the next steward of this special property. A list of the intact period details reads like a Victorian novel and includes; mahogany wall and ceiling wainscoting, plaster medallions and wedding cake trim, picture, base and ceiling moldings, stained glass windows and skylights, inlaid nailhead floors with zig zag borders, brass hardware, hand-carved mantles, and pocket doors galore. At the top of the stoop awaits a quadruple parlor that is a site to behold and really must be seen in person. Most notable is the formal dining room, a stately space offering elegant plaster coffered ceilings, a detailed mantle with hand-fired ceramic tiles; a front parlor with a fully intact Piers mirror; and a sitting room with the original Corinthian columns. The kitchen resides conveniently in the back, offering an entertaining floor of epic proportions and a peaceful garden view. Prepare to be greeted upon arrival by a dramatic mahogany staircase complete with wood arches and fretwork, and most notably, a formal vestibule wrapped in wall and ceiling wainscoting.
Ceiling heights on every floor will astound. The parlor measures in at 12', with the upper floors no less than 10', and even a garden level that approaches 9'. A legal 2-family, the current owners divided the property into two sizable duplexes. The garden and parlor together offer a 2300 SF 3-4 bedroom apartment. The upper two floors offer a 4-bedroom sitting pretty at 1700 SF. With little effort, you can enjoy an owner's triplex with 6 bedrooms and STILL have a garden rental. Or take this entire mansion for yourself. And don't miss the large dry cellar, perfect for storage or a recreation room. Even the garden far exceeds your expectations. Designed by a professional landscaper, it includes a pergola, hardscaping, and perennial plantings, just in time for summer. Three full and windowed bathrooms each offer their own charms. The two upstairs bathrooms have retained their timeless classic appeal and include original clawfoot tubs, porcelain faucets, pedestal sinks, and ceramic glazed tiles.
But don't be deceived by all things old. The current owners have been living comfortably in this home for years and you can too. Kitchens have been upgraded, as has the boiler and roof. Do as little, or as much as you want, and be assured that you can live large on a truly picturesque block in one of the most culturally dynamic neighborhoods Brownstone Brooklyn has to offer. Recognized for its historically significant homes, this wide block with its crown of cascading trees is landmarked and ready for you call it home. Live at the crossroads of Crown Heights and Prospect Heights, with Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum and the Botanical Gardens nearby, surrounded by an exciting dining scene in every direction on Franklin, Nostrand, Washington and Vanderbilt aves. The nearby Express subway trains at Eastern Parkway and Nostrand make living here a breeze. And don't miss the nearby multitude of grocery stores and services including a Key Food around the corner, and Union Market a couple of blocks away.
