Description

Historic Charm on Tree-Lined Park Block. Nestled perfectly a half block from famed Prospect Park, is this beautiful Neo-Italian Renaissance limestone townhouse. The ornate facade with its exquisite relief carving has stood the test of time and still possesses a timeless appeal. Architecturally inspired by 16th-century Italian Palazzos, this house is a great example of what makes Park Slope the beautiful historic neighborhood that it is. With a generous 2,880 square feet, not including the basement, this four bedroom, three bathroom 1901 home o?ers an exceptional opportunity to own an historic landmarked townhouse on a very desirable tree-lined park block. The charming barrel front house is outstanding both for its striking exterior design and the abundant light it provides. Original details include unpainted original woodwork, hardwood ?oors, beautiful pier mirror, mantle, wood panelled doors, tin ceilings, stained glass skylight and plaster ceiling medallions. Standing at a generous 20 feet wide and 48 feet deep on an 80 foot long lot, the house is currently used as a three family with a ?oor-through apartment on each ?oor. Owned by the same family for 40+ years, the house has been very well cared for, evidenced by the overall solid condition and recent work including front and rear facade restoration. The basement is dry and in very good condition. The new owner will have a choice of keeping the house as a three family or making it into a grand one or two family house. The three apartments have a lovely ?ow, rear windowed kitchens and generous sized rooms. The garden ?oor apartment has a large front bedroom, middle dining area and rear living room with a sliding door into a beautiful landscaped garden where the patio area is ideal for dining and entertaining. On the parlor ?oor you are greeted by a beautiful pier mirror in the front living room. There is a dining area in the middle and a large rear bedroom. This ?oor boasts 10 foot ceilings. The top ?oor has an extra bedroom/o?ce beside the living room in front with middle dining area and large rear bedroom. A beautiful feature of the top ?oor is a luminous stained glass skylight above the staircase. Some photos have been virtually enhanced.
