Updated by Dixon Projects, this grand home in the Park Slope Historic District features fabulous amenities, like a large driveway for parking, a mudroom with a washer and dryer and many of the home’s gorgeous original fixtures. Built in 1901 by Charles G. Peterson and designed by Frederick Tyrrell, this storied home pays tribute to its historic past. Decorative flairs like cornices, wrought iron and relief-cast limestone facade with classical and renaissance inspired details create an unbelievable curb appeal. The home retains incredible original details such as envious pier mirrors, parquet hardwood flooring, wainscoting, and finely detailed millwork that exude warmth and grandeur. Within the home, you’ll find a number of decorative fireplace mantles alongside narrative stained glass windows, with gorgeous imagery and symbols of religious power that have existed since the Middle Ages. Distinct and remarkable parquet floor boarders indicate that 20th century highly skilled laborers thoughtfully designed this home. The front parlor level salvages late classical details with beautiful ceiling plasterwork, painted with lifelike vines, leaves and flowers. The master bath itself transports you immediately to bygone times of Victorian-era luxury captured through a stunning claw-foot tub and custom oak vanity. Contemporary additions, like granite countertops, a sub-zero fridge, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and dishwasher fulfill the promise of unparalleled convenience. A short walk through Grand Army's replica of the celebrated L'Arc de Triomphe will deliver you to farmers markets, food truck rallies, Shakespeare orations, live music events and no end of like cultural experiences in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Summer sun and sport, winter walks through white landscapes and evenings under the stars are all at your doorstep.
