60 Sherman Street

A rare treat! Houses on the south side of Sherman Street in Windsor Terrace rarely come on the market. 60 Sherman is one of the iconic limestones built around 1901, surrounded on either side by limestone and brownstone houses of similar design and appearance. And it comes with all the charm and detail these turn of the century buildings have to offer: oak parquet floors, plaster detail, fretwork, wainscoting, pier mirrors, lincrusta panels and mantels. This house, 19.75 ft. X 47 ft. on a 100 foot lot, is set up with two units, with the owner using the lower duplex. The ground floor holds a large eat-in kitchen, a substantial living room in front and a formal dining room. There is an additional small room off the kitchen and a full bath. Access to the south garden is through the kitchen. The parlor floor has the classic triple parlor arrangement with gorgeous woodwork, parquet floors and fretwork. There is another full bath on this floor. The top floor provides a fantastic 1-2 bedroom rental apartment, or it can be incorporated into the rest of the house to become a generous single-unit home. Sherman Street is thought by many to be the "heart and soul" of the neighborhood a quiet enclave of beautifully maintained homes within blocks of fantastic local shopping and dining destinations, all the recreational amenities of Prospect Park, and the F train just minutes away.
