This perfectly restored extraordinary townhouse in prime Stuyvesant Heights sits head-and-shoulders above the crowd and needs to be seen in person to be truly appreciated. Featuring a striking Queen-Anne style brick and limestone facade with an additional nod to the Romanesque Revival period, you know that you have arrived somewhere special before you even head up the stoop just by gazing at the distinctive exterior. Flooded with light all day long, this two-family home has been majestically transformed into a single-family masterpiece, but with almost no work could be returned to a 2-family. This is a 4-5 bedroom, 3 bath historic townhouse where period details have been restored to perfection, and if restoration wasn't possible then they have been REBUILT by hand to perfectly replicate the original. This includes all new wood floors that have been leveled and recreated to match the original patterns; pocket doors that are fully functional throughout; seven exquisite and colorful hand-fired and glazed Majolica tile fireplace surrounds; and masterfully restored moldings, doorframes, fretwork, and built-in leaded-glass cabinetry and closets. Bathrooms and kitchens have been re-fashioned in new versions of the original materials to ensure historical accuracy but maximum comfort and utility. In addition to the artistry of the interior design, you can also be assured that both the structure and the mechanicals will last well into the future. The roof, skylights, insulation, facade, windows, kitchen and baths were all redone in 2015. A new Navien on-demand boiler and hot water heater was added in 2021, and a new HVAC (Central AC) condenser was added in 2022. Heating and cooling is set up as two zones. The kitchen cabinetry on the garden floor has been designed to perfectly integrate into this historic backdrop by using the same wood stain over oak seen throughout the rest of the home. A cozy French bistro effect has been created through the use of oversized subway tiles for the walls, comfy radiant-heated cork floors underfoot, a Mid-Century Chambers stove, custom circular and deep stainless sink and countertop, and the all-important Bosch dishwasher for convenience. A casement style bi-fold Nano door leads from the kitchen to the yard allowing you to create a seamless indoor/outdoor effect. And don't miss the formal dining room on this floor, perfect for daily or holiday meals. There is even a full bath on this floor complete with green and white handmade cement floor tiles, a porcelain pedestal sink, clawfoot tub, and porcelain cross-handle faucets. Head back upstairs to the absolutely majestic double parlor featuring soaring ceiling heights and dripping in original ornamentation including stained glass, ceiling medallions, Piers mirror, fretwork, and original picture moldings and mantles, perfect for a family room, home office and formal living room. The sweeping center staircase serves as the centerpiece of the parlor and takes you up to a floor of very sizable bedrooms and the second of the remarkably renovated bathrooms. Enjoy king-sized beds and towering ceiling heights in every single bedroom in this home, plus custom Marvin shades in the 2nd floor back bedroom. Lose yourself in the luxury of finely crafted navy subway-tiled walls juxtaposed with richly-hued diamond mosaic floors and all new porcelain and nickel fixtures and porcelain pedestal sink and tub. The dormered top floor is breathtaking with the sheer scale of the ceiling heights alone and offers two additional bedrooms that conveniently share what can only be described as a 5-fixture Spa-like wet room where you can wash the day away in a massive open shower illuminated by a huge skylight, or soak in the tub under the stars. Situated on a picturesque block near the Utica Avenue A/C trains and a host of beloved restaurants, shops, cafes and pocket parks including Saraghina, Peaches, Chez Oskar, and L'Antagoniste, to name just a few.
