Gorgeous 25 Foot Wide Townhouse
Built in 1847 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this rare, 25-foot wide, single family townhouse is ideally located on a coveted, tree-lined block in historic Boerum Hill and features grand proportions, exceptional finishes and exquisite architectural details throughout.
Ascend the stately stoop and enter through impressive double doors where a custom mosaic foyer sets the tone and ushers you into an expansive double parlor with soaring ceilings, beautiful parquet floors and original marble mantles. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, highlighting intricate moldings, decorative pilasters and original ceiling medallions. The front living room is both elegant and inviting, with leafy views over historic State Street, while the rear dining room is perfect for entertaining, with twin French doors opening onto a large, tranquil, south-facing terrace with direct access to the garden below. The windowed eat-in-kitchen is bright and thoughtfully designed, equipped with premium appliances from Wolf, Miele and SubZero, and offers additional access to the covered terrace - ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor dining.
The second floor is dedicated to the primary bedroom suite, a serene retreat with wide-plank floors and two decorative marble fireplaces. This level includes a king-sized bedroom with two fitted closets, a separate office, and a spacious south-facing lounge lined with custom-milled bookshelves. The luxurious Waterworks bathroom features a bespoke marble vanity, deep clawfoot tub, and elegant Perrin and Rowe brass fixtures.
The top floor is equally peaceful, offering two generously-sized bedrooms (one with a private office), a large sky-lit lounge and a beautifully appointed Waterworks bathroom with double sinks, built-in medicine cabinets, and a glass-enclosed rain shower with polished nickel fittings.
The garden level is designed for relaxed living, with a private under-the-stoop entrance leading to a mudroom with wide plank floors and charming brick walls. This floor also includes an oversized guest bedroom, a Waterworks bathroom, and a spacious media room ideal for hanging out with family and friends. Just beyond, a bright sunroom features a summer kitchen, separate laundry area and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to a professionally landscaped, fully irrigated south-facing garden replete with bluestone pathways, specimen trees, flowering perennials and the sounds of birdsong echoing in the distance. Absolutely sublime!
Every detail of this exceptional home has been thoughtfully curated to honor its historic character while enhancing modern comfort - from the aged brass switch plates with rotary dimmers, to the custom vent covers from Reggio Registers, to the antique doorknobs and vintage lighting fixtures - every choice and every finish reflects the owner's consummate good taste and dedication to elevating the home's experience. All of the systems have been recently updated including new electric, plumbing, windows and HVAC. There is a large finished basement with abundant storage including a refrigerated pantry/wine room.
Perfectly situated in the heart of Boerum Hill, this extraordinary home is moments from great restaurants, charming cafes, boutique shopping, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and all major subway lines. A truly rare, turn-key offering of remarkable quality and character!
