About This Property
Move right into this country estate in the city! Rarely available
semi-detached brick property on the prettiest block in Crown
Heights. Enjoy three-exposures, a huge wraparound garden, your very
own parking space, central AC, and a 4-story light-infused
museum-quality renovated home with no equal. Originally the rectory
for the nearby Anglican church, this neo-Gothic mini mansion has
been updated throughout but still retains incredible original
details. Experience a piece of history through the fully restored
arched windows, inlaid floors, oversized Piers mirror, Greek
columns, plaster moldings, stained glass transom, and the stunning
brick faade and gabled roof. A private paved alley takes you right
up to the back of the house where you can park your car and easily
unload your groceries and take them right into the kitchen. Three
exposures all look out onto your very own front, back and side
gardens, all masterfully landscaped with perennials, grass and
hardscaping. Head into the magnificent home through a glass sunroom
with a lovely slate floor that doubles as a mud room. A central
foyer greets you upon entering the parlor floor, along with a
dramatic center staircase that includes a mahogany newel post and
banisters. The living room has the perfect proportions for
oversized furniture and the current owners have juxtaposed
mid-century modern lighting against a light historical backdrop
including the oversized Piers mirror and columns. On the other side
of the foyer is a formal dining living room with wainscoted walls,
plus a curved window seat for yard-gazing. Enjoy the best of all
worlds; the rich textures of bygone details within a light and
modern framework. A fully renovated open kitchen includes white,
gray and glass cabinetry, stainless steel professional appliances,
a backsplash of subway tile, white Quartz countertops, and a
built-in banquette breakfast nook. This L-shaped kitchen offers
great storage and work space, and even includes a large prep
island. Situated perfectly between the dining room and garden, you
can easily entertain whether it be indoors or out, all year long.
Old growth English Plane and Magnolia trees define this distinctive
three-sided yard that also offers hardscaping for a dining area.
You will truly forget that you are in the city. The next floor up
offers two large bedrooms PLUS an unexpected office space. A full
bathroom with a window and the classic NY finishes includes white
and black hex tiles, a pedestal sink and cast-iron tub. The
oversized front bedroom is a dramatic space with bay windows, while
the back bedroom offers a full yard view. The top floor is
currently being used as a master suite and includes another bedroom
with bay windows looking into the neighboring treetops plus a newly
renovated full bath complete with cast iron tub and penny tiles
that separates this room from two smaller bedrooms in the back. One
has been magically transformed into a walk-in closet, and the other
that now lives as an office, but also makes a great nursery or
guest bedroom. Skylights on this floor bring light down the entire
staircase all the way to the parlor. The garden level has been
fully finished and offers a multitude of options. In the back is an
enormous laundry room with cabinetry and a utility sink, including
an oversized vented washer and dryer. In the center of this floor
are the mechanicals and ample storage space. The front has been
transformed into a fantastic media room, home office, play room or,
with the addition of a newly renovated full bathroom, make this a
great nanny or guest suite as well. This truly is a home that has
it all. Sitting pretty on one of the single most beautiful blocks
in Brooklyn, with easy access to the great shopping and dining in
both Prospect Heights and Crown Heights. Enjoy Franklin, Washington
and Vanderbilt avenue amenities, in addition to Brower Park, The
Childrens Museum, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum and the
Botanic Gardens. A new Union Market is easily accessible on Eastern
Parkway too. One block to the 3 train and three blocks to the 2 and
5 express trains.
