Very few homes in Brooklyn share the prestige similar to that conferred by views of Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park from dining room windows. Still fewer are those historic residences that afford their owner the ultimate opportunity to marry the rarest of period detail with modern tastes. Five Plaza Street West Mansion is host to nearly 5,000 square feet of Neo-Classical design and decorative flare. Cornices, wrought iron and relief-cast limestone facade greet the passers-by. Pier mirrors, stained glass, delicate wood wainscoting, inlaid parquet flooring, milled spindle work and finely crafted plaster invite guests to relax in the glorious turn-of-the-century warmth. The master bath is truly a vision of times long gone, an exceptional reflection of the late Victorian era luxury embodied in a vintage claw-foot tub and custom oak-and-marble vanity. This regal four story town home is not solely defined by the authentic and the historic, as its previous owner has readied it for the new century through addition of contemporary conveniences. Split-air conditioning units supplement inhabitants' comfort. The building's heating system has been converted to the more economic natural fuel. Pull into your private gated parking spot, and empty the contents of your loaded vehicle through the private entrance into your home, just feet away. Imagine the convenience, the convenience that very few in Brownstone Brooklyn will ever experience. This at the time when the nearby parking facility (on Union Street at 7th Avenue) is closing for re-development, with additional 500 cars back on the street, circling the blocks endlessly in hopes of finding parking. For days when you feel like leaving your car behind, access any point in the City with express trains, available a corner away. A short walk though Grand Army's replica of the celebrated L'Arc de Triomphe will deliver you to farmers markets, food truck rallies, Shakespeare orations, live music events and no end of like cultural experiences in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Summer sun and sport, winter walks through white landscapes and evenings under the stars are all at your doorstep. Add your story to the illustrious pages of history already written at Five Plaza Street West.
