The size of these rooms alone will take your breath away, giving every family member space to spread out in style. The bedroom in front is uniquely framed by the original stained-glass rosette window. The top floor is a study in largesse rarely, if ever, seen in a Brooklyn brownstone primary suite. The front-facing bedroom is adorned by the original arched window and a colorful hand-fired ceramic mantle that feels modern and yet was created over a 100 years ago. A dressing room and 5-fixture bath festooned in Calacatta Gold, a freestanding tub, double sinks, rainhead shower and double sinks will make daily living a true joy. And don't miss the fully renovated two-bedroom garden rental apartment.
