A rare beauty. This Park Slope Romanesque Revival landmark 5-story townhouse was built in 1891 as part of a row of five unique townhouses by the architect John E. Dwyer. It still stands out today as a wonderful example of the architecture of the Victorian era. It is a grand house, measuring 23' wide x 65' deep on the bottom two floors and 50 feet deep on the upper three floors. Its graceful, open triple parlor has triple bay windows, stained glass, 3 sets of pocket doors and a gorgeous open entry to a impressive staircase. The third floor is spectacularly appointed as well. There are mahogany columns opening up the wide expanse of the front of this floor, which also has a triple bay window. The upper floors have their original mantles and much original detail throughout as well. Original woodwork throughout includes wonderful oak parquet floors, pocket doors, built in cabinetry, original moldings and doors, and a graceful staircase surrounded by wainscoting. Even though there is a deep extension on the lower two levels, there is a good sized southern facing garden in the rear of the home. This home needs updating and some restoration, but it is gorgeous beyond compare and well worth the effort. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create a magnificent home of your own in prime Park Slope. And it is located on one of the neighborhood's most admired, prime landmark blocks. Just 1 block away from Prospect Park, and a short stroll to subways, shops and cafes.
