    Do not miss this incredible opportunity to own the 25' wide 4-story home of your dreams in prime Brooklyn Heights. Built in 1855, this one-family home offers 7-8 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, great light, grand proportions & historic details throughout. Maintained over the years by its current owners so that the new owners can move right in to the upper three floors and enjoy the convenience and space that only a 25' wide home in Brooklyn Heights can offer. Situated on a quiet tree-lined block filled with grand townhouses, it offers proximity to a vast array of amenities nearby. Head down the renovated stoop to find multiple subway lines plus award-winning restaurants, public & private schools, gyms & gourmet shopping. Systems, structure & mechanical upgrades include a split AC system, newly brownstoned stoop, new Kolbe landmarked windows, recovered roof, hard-wired alarm system, upgraded bluestone sidewalk & beautifully skim-coated walls & plasterwork. A spacious & pastoral yard has been maintained with professional landscaping, an irrigation system, and an array of planting beds & hardscaping. Whether your aesthetic is modern or traditional, this home offers the perfect backdrop. Enter up the stoop into the parlor floor of this majestic home and prepare to be amazed. Built at 25' wide and 55' deep with an additional 15' x 10' extension on this level, you can live your best everyday life on just this one floor. Offering rarely seen scale & drama & affording space for a grand living room, a separate & unrivaled dining room, a powder room, and a sunny kitchen with windows on two sides that leads you down into the garden. Perfectly restored details include original plaster moldings, ceiling medallions, plantation shutters, floor-to-ceiling windows, and original nailhead parquet floors with mahogany inlay. A wood-burning fireplace with a distinctive Carrara marble mantle provides the perfect focal point. An additional marble mantle adds style to the dining room. The plasterwork includes triple ceiling moldings with fleur-de-lis interspersed with a dentil design and is repeated up the sweeping staircase and throughout the hallways of even the bedroom floors. An eat-in kitchen resides in the sunny extension off the dining room and includes a pull-out pantry and a suite of professional appliances including a vented Viking 6-burner cooktop, double Viking ovens, a Sub-Zero fridge, Miele dishwasher and a deep sink with a garbage disposal. Head up the staircase complete with hand-carved mahogany balustrade & bannisters to a Primary suite of glorious proportions and a garden view. This home has the generous width to connect two oversized bedrooms with their very own pass-through, one used as the Primary bedroom and a walk-in closet, and the other as a library with exposed brick, built-in millwork & another wood-burning fireplace. A smaller bedroom and windowed bath complete this floor. The top floor offers three additional bedrooms, a skylight, and another windowed bath with a free-standing tub & glass enclosed shower. Currently used as a dentist's office, the garden floor will be delivered vacant and offers the next steward the opportunity to build out a guest suite, home offices, additional bedrooms, or a family room. With the perfect flow out to the garden & great width, the opportunities are endless. There is even a full basement below the garden level that has been wonderfully maintained and offers loads of clean and dry space. There is no other townhouse on the market with such unique proportions and easy accessibility to the absolute best of Brooklyn. One subway stop to Manhattan or ride your bike, walk or take a cab over the Brooklyn Bridge. Enjoy the best shops & dining in Brooklyn Heights and its surrounding neighborhoods all on foot, but if you like to drive, there are multiple garages less than a block away. Shown by appointment only.
