Modern Brooklyn Brownstone

About the Space

Spanning 3,900 square feet and three stories, this majestic brownstone nestled on a bucolic North Slope block measures 20-feet wide with ceiling heights up to 11'8, and features stunning period details and impressive examples of historic restoration. Blending rich materials and finishes while never once disrupting its old world feel. Up the stoop is the gracious entrance to this grand home. Original details mixed with a contemporary design sensibility can be seen everywhere. Restored doors & plasterwork, arched doorways & striking moldings set the tone for the jaw dropping foyer. The grand salon in the rear of the parlor spans the full width of the house. The living room features a wood burning fireplace, pier mirror and perfectly intact crown moldings. The renovated kitchen features poured concrete countertops, Thermador appliances, custom walnut millwork and brushed limestone floors. Through a dramatic archway with a pocket door is arguably the most beautiful space in the house: the formal dining room. Clad in hand lacquered navy walls, this dramatic room features a wood burning fireplace with marble mantle and pier mirror and gorgeous restored parquet floors. There is also a patio and staircase off the parlor level as well as a private, lush garden which uniquely abuts the rear extension of an adjacent brownstone, creating an 80-foot-tall brick backdrop covered in ivy; quite literally a living art wall. Up one flight is a bedroom currently configured as TV room / Den with a marble fireplace as well as a full windowed bathroom featuring a walk in shower with Clé Tiles, Martinique wallpaper and a restored stained-glass window. The top floor has three rooms, a center skylight and another full bathroom. The current configuration features a bedroom with an exquisite fireplace & marble mantle, Eskayel Wallpaper and east facing windows. The second room is a study, also featuring a fireplace, and the third a home gym.
