About This Property
An exceptionally rare offering, this historic corner carriage house
is classically appointed, awash in gorgeous light throughout,
and showcases a striking Greek Revival facade with arched
windows that afford it a prominent vantage point at the
entrance to Grace Court Alley, one of Brooklyn Heights most coveted
private mews.
Spanning two stories with an additional finished basement – over ~3900 sq ft in total – plus a private landscaped roof deck, this home stands apart from other carriage houses in the area with high ceilings (nearly 11 ft on the main level), multiple exposures from oversized windows, and expansive rooms. The current owner has been a thoughtful caretaker of this lovingly tended home for over 50 years, maintaining its character and grace.
A landscaped front garden – with window boxes and established callery pear trees that bookend the home – provides a warm entry to the sunlit foyer. The space then opens to a gallery and elegant formal dining room adorned with detailed molding and vintage tea chest paper. The nearly 25' wide great room dramatically punctuates this level, with a working wood-burning fireplace, floor-to-ceiling library and double-wide windows overlooking charming Grace Court Alley that were once an entryway to the carriage house.
An eat-in-kitchen, jewel box powder room and convenient wet bar round out the parlor floor.
The second floor has almost 10 ft ceilings and is similarly tranquil with treetop views, beautiful light and offers 5 bedrooms – including a spacious primary bedroom with dressing room while another is currently used as an intimate den with a greenhouse window. Additionally, 2 full baths as well as a laundry room complete this level.
The top floor leads to a lush aerie: a nearly 600 sq ft IPE landscaped roof deck with built-in planters and verdant panoramic Brooklyn Heights views.
The fully finished basement with original stone floor comprises a recreation space, multiple deep storage closets, and a working pottery studio/workspace. The home also has multi-zoned central a/c.
This special home is thought to have been built between the 1860s - 1880s and designed by William Tubby, regarded as one of Brooklyn's finest late 19th century architects. Tubby was noted for his work for Charles Pratt resulting in several Pratt Institute buildings and private estates as well as the wholesale Wallabout Market, five of Brooklyn's Carnegie Libraries, and Manhattan's American Thread Building, among others.
Just moments from public transportation, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park and an array of dining and shopping options on Montague Street and nearby vibrant brownstone Brooklyn neighborhoods. Shown by private appointment.
