This landmarked Romanesque/Renaissance Revival style , 1896 Brooklyn Brownstone recently underwent a meticulous renovation that took three years to complete, but one that was careful to preserve all the historic beauty of the home, and at the same time, fully modernize it. A testament to this effort is the fact that the project was approved by the National Park Service under the Historic Preservation Certification program, which ensures that both the architectural integrity of the interior as well as the exterior is preserved. This most definitely is not your “white box”. But discreetly hidden, you will find all the necessities of modern living including high-speed internet (multiple wireless access points and ethernet jacks are strategically positioned throughout the home) and all-new energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. Another unique aspect of the property is how it sits in relation to the block, which helps to provide an additional sense of privacy in that there are no directly opposing houses on either of the two faces of the house. Sitting in the middle of the short side of this landmarked block, the street face looks across to a park and the rear faces onto the lengthwise center of what is arguably the greenest and largest center block in all of Brooklyn (a.k.a., the "doughnut"). The only need for window treatments then is to block light to the bedrooms for sleeping. The Parlor floor of the triplex is the showcase though, with its 10-1/2’ ceilings. But the layout is now fully modern, with a flow through plan that leads from a street facing living area, through a central parlor area for dining and into a spacious rear West facing chef’s kitchen with big new windows. Prepare to bask in the sun then as you cook and entertain or open the new double French glass panel doors onto the expansive rear deck. As well, the parlor floor features a new powder room that is tucked away discreetly behind a hallway jib door. The 2nd floor features the primary suite, and this as well has a flow through plan allowing one to enjoy the full length of the floor, privately, without having to enter the central stairwell. On the street facing side there is an entertainment room with an attached office area, and wet bar. And from here you can traverse through the spa like primary bathroom into the primary bedroom, appropriately located in the quiet rear of the house, along with a windowed walk-in closet. On the 3rd floor there are two additional bedrooms and a small sitting room, with wet bar, and a laundry room and bathroom. The bathroom features subway tile and a good old fashioned claw foot bathtub to soak in. Best of all though, there is a new staircase that leads to a roof deck that has amazing 365-degree views of Brooklyn. Located at the rear of the house, this roof deck is a great place to enjoy the sunset at the end of a long day and look out over the length of this very lush doughnut. Some final notes: • There is garden duplex available for rental that has also been completely renovated. Separate pricing and details are available upon request. • All space is provided unfurnished and so it will be ideal for those who want to stage the house just as they want.
