Once in a while an amazing, perfectly appointed and unique luxury home becomes available. 37 Sidney is just such a place. This grand, elegant, 1846 Greek Revival is now an impeccably renovated Passive House standing mid-block on a beautiful, tree-lined street in the heart of the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. At 23 ft wide, with 6 beds, 7 full + 2 half baths, a landscaped garden and 2 terraces, this 7040 sf home sits on an extra-long, 135 ft lot. Super insulated construction and triple pane windows reduce heat gain/loss and exterior noises while the ERV fresh air filtration system extracts air toxins and allergens in the home 24 hours a day, filtering in new fresh air with a moderate humidity level. The grand stoop and restored facade draw you through the marble vestibule to the majestic living room with 11.5 ft ceilings... centered around the custom Nero Marquina mantel with WBF. The custom, ascending and gracefully curved staircase brings light down to each floor from the double skylights above. Adjacent to the living room is a moody wet bar with wine ref & ice maker that leads to the dining room. A powder room is discretely tucked in off the side hall. The dining room's vaulted ceiling is complimented by the built-in sideboard with open display shelves. The grand chef's kitchen comes with dramatic marblework, Lacanche gas range with electric oven, a paneled Gaggenau ref/freezer, double integrated dishwashers, full height pantry + additional coffee bar with 30" Sub-Zero drawer ref/freezer and custom cabinetry. The magnificent backsplash echos the gesture of the trees out back. The oversized Zola sliding door seamlessly connects to the terrace and down the cascading stairs to the beautifully landscaped garden and patio. The curving stair from the kitchen emphasizes the vertical connection of the two living zones and optimizes the view through the skylight above. A Zola door leads out to the back patio and yard. A wet bar is tucked into the west wall + a powder room around the corner. An au pair suite, mud room with laundry + storage finishes out this level. The extra deep, 75 ft yard with large old growth trees give history while Bluestone pavers, luxury turf and a cedar privacy fence help define space in new ways. All landscaping, including potted plants and window boxes, have automatic irrigation systems. The full-floor primary suite features an east facing bedroom with a 250 sf terrace + a luxurious bath w/ heated floors, 5-fixture bath wrapped in Calacatta Vagli slabs, ebonized oak vanity, steam shower with heated floors and bench, integrated speakers, and (3) showerheads + hand showers, large cast iron soaking tub and a separate W/C with smart Toto toilet with SensoWash. Next is the large walk-through closet. The front study offers a sizable workspace or bedroom with en suite bath + its own walk-in closet. Two large bedroom suites with walk in closets and a laundry room fill out the floor above. The open top floor has two skylights above the stairs and a full ceiling of east facing, skylights with motorized privacy and solar shade. The front "treehouse room" has a romantic, pitched roof with two dormers and ample space to spread out. A Jack-and-Jill bath with two skylights is shared between these two rooms.
