**A Rare Landmark Residence on Historic Doctor's Row**
Perfectly positioned on one of Williamsburg's most picturesque blocks, **31 Orient Avenue** is a truly exceptional offering that seamlessly blends historic architecture with contemporary luxury. Originally built as a grand 19th-century mansion and once home to Betty "Moe" Trezza of *A League of Their Own* fame, this iconic residence has been meticulously restored and reimagined into one of Williamsburg's most distinctive homes.
Spanning approximately **2,500 square feet** of interior living space and **1,500 square feet** of private outdoor space, this remarkable triplex offers a scale and lifestyle rarely found in Brooklyn. Two private front terraces overlook the tree-lined street, while a beautifully landscaped backyard creates an extraordinary extension of the homeideal for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying your own private oasis.
Occupying the full width of a 25-foot townhouse, the residence offers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one powder room, multiple private entrances, and an exceptionally versatile layout designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living.
The parlor level is nothing short of spectacular. Soaring 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows, original marble fireplaces, and restored architectural details frame an expansive great room spanning more than 1,000 square feet. Flooded with natural light, the space effortlessly accommodates multiple living and dining areas while preserving the elegance and grandeur of the home's historic origins.
The chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with a 36-inch Verona double-oven gas range, premium GE Cafe appliances, Carrara marble backsplashes, generous pantry storage, and expansive countertop space. Sliding glass doors open directly onto the landscaped backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
Two luxurious primary suite options provide exceptional flexibility. The parlor-level suite features a walk-in closet and windowed en-suite bath, while the garden-level primary overlooks the backyard and offers a custom walk-in closet, dual vanity, and spa-inspired bath with an oversized glass shower.
Two additional spacious bedrooms each feature walk-in closets and share a beautifully designed full bathroom. The garden level also includes a dedicated laundry room, flexible office or playroom, and a restored stained-glass door providing direct access to the backyard.
A climate-controlled lower level offers valuable bonus space perfect for a fitness studio, wine cellar, creative workspace, or extensive storage.
