Quintessential Brooklyn Brownstone

Beautifully appointed and intentionally designed & configured single family, Federal style townhouse. On a tree lined Boerum Hill block in a row of homogeneous brownstones, this home was built in 1853 and features original molding, woodwork, and three marble fireplaces. Extensively remodeled to bring in modern elements while paying homage to the classic brownstone. The handsome and stately home is truly a rare find.The townhouse is set back allowing for an ornate iron fence and a wide stoop entry to the parlor. French doors invite you to the living room, fully equipped kitchen, dining room, large coat closet and elusive powder room. Four large custom steel and glass doors open from the back parlor to the deck which is connected to the lush garden with a steel staircase and overlooks harmonious, restored brownstones in the rear yard. On the garden floor you have a moody den that opens to the backyard entertaining and gathering space. The front garden floor houses a guest bedroom and full bathroom as well as additional closet space. The basement/cellar level is designed as a gym.The bedrooms are on the top two floors. The primary suite is the full third floor with a bedroom featuring a marble fireplace. Because of the generous townhouse width (22 foot) there is space for the separate home office with built-in desk and shelving. The jewel of this floor however is the oversized bathroom with storage closet, double sinks, freestanding tub and a spacious glass and stone shower. The top floor has an open landing suitable as a playroom or study and has two bedrooms and one full bath.The skylight brings light into the center of the house while the roof top features view of downtown Brooklyn and the Manhattan skyline in the distance.
