160 Saint Johns Place

Finally! Here is the classic 20 feet wide brownstone, totally updated, that you have been waiting for. Located on a lovely north Slope block, and surrounded by so many other classic townhouses, 160 St. Johns Place stands out in myriad ways.

First, the owners have upgraded all systems. There are 3 zones of quiet dual central air conditioning and forced air heating system. The kitchen, in a generous parlor floor extension, has best-in-class appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Viking range, a Franke pot filler, Thermador double oven and a Bosch dishwasher. The kitchen has built-in water filtration, insinkerator garbage disposal and a radiant heating tile floor.

The formal dining room retains its gorgeous original built-ins and offers French doors to a deck. The south light is lovely. The large formal parlor has huge windows and an original mantle. Floors here are beautiful parquet.

The floor above the parlor has a large rear bedroom with a mantle, a hall bath, and a huge master suite with its own bath. The baths have been lovingly renovated with custom marble tiles and fixtures. The master bedroom has the desirable layout of an alcove for the bed and a triple bay window with original shutters. The original floors gleam in the sunlight.

Upstairs there are 2 large bedrooms, another renovated bath with a delightful skylight over the shower. There is also a laundry room and office on this top floor. The bathrooms have radiant heating in the marble floors. The garden floor has a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment. It generates high rent, or it can be delivered vacant if a new owner would like to live in the house as a single family home.

The full cellar houses the home's mechanical systems (except for the air conditioning compressors which are located on the roof and in the garden). There is ample storage here as well.

The south garden is truly special, accessible from either the garden or the parlor floor. Looking over the deep lots of Lincoln Place, the feeling is country-like.

In sum, 160 St. Johns Place has the entire package of desirability in Brooklyn. Spacious townhouse, great location, excellent renovation, south garden, and so much more.
