Impeccably restored and renewed four story, seven bedroom, three and half bath, single family limestone townhouse on a prime park block in the Park Slope Historic District.

From the moment of rising up the stoop, you know that no expense was spared in this historical and pedigreed renovation. Keeping true to its original build of 1909, this 20' wide French Renaissance Revival townhouse greets you with an airy glass entry, surrounded by artisan quality crown moldings and millwork. To the left, through the first set of pocket doors is the front parlor, replete with bay windows, pier mirror, detailed inlaid borders and a second set of pocket doors that lead to the middle parlor. Leaded stain glass windows and built in bookshelves that wrap around the wood burning fireplace. The third set of pocket doors give way to the formal, paneled dining room with gas fireplace, stain glass windows, built in leaded glass cabinets, detailed inlaid floors. The deep chef's kitchen has floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors and above, a skylight that runs the length of the room. A 48" six burner Wolf range shares the eastern wall with built in appliances nestled within the custom cabinetry. The long kitchen island with a large Rohl porcelain sink allows for collaborative cooking and ample seating for casual meals. Your feet stay warm with the radiant heated floors and the back doors give way to a well-appointed yard paved with blue stone and trimmed with a cedar fence. Privacy is afforded by custom motorized shades within the back of this 65' deep home. 

Up the grand entry stairs papered with a contemporary print, the landing is hushed by the upholstered walls. Sweet silence yields the master suite's floor. Northern light bathes the bay windowed bedroom. The master bath has light wells and stained glass skylight. Waterworks fixtures add a contemporary twist to this rejuvenative sanctuary. Access to the pass through closet is next which opens to the back den with gas fireplace and second story terrace.

The top floor offers four bedrooms and an impeccably appointed hall bath with skylight. All rooms quietly empty into the hall with upholstered walls. The hall skylight reflects light off the side stair walls, cascading down to the lower levels.

The garden level has a front guest suite, large family room with exposed ceiling beams, a laundry room and state of the art mechanicals. A double door opens to an equally wide stairway leading to the back yard.

Bring your dog(s) back from a morning jaunt in the park during off-leash hours or use this home as your magnificent home base for exploring this rich city and borough. Close to everything you want to have near and pleasantly removed from bustle of the town, this home stands as a true oasis within one of Brooklyn's prime historic districts.
