20 Prospect Park Southwest

Now is your chance to be the next steward of a stunning limestone, right ON Prospect park, with park views from every window in the front, conveniently located on the same block as the F train, and Southern exposure from every window in the back. At over 2900 sq. ft. above grade, with an additional 1000 sq. ft. of windowed English basement space, this is a dramatic and historic limestone of dynamic proportions that makes a fantastic forever home. It is absolutely livable as-is, or bring your architect, make a few upgrades, and live larger and more conveniently than you ever thought possible. Closer to transportation than any townhouse in the center of Park Slope, and infinitely more beautiful than you could ever imagine, this masterpiece has been owned by only two owners in its lifetime, and now you can be the third to live amongst the architectural riches of a Victorian beauty with every original detail perfectly preserved in time. Three full stories of splendor PLUS a partially finished English basement with 9 ceilings and windows await and include inlaid floors with Greek detailing, multiple hand-carved wood mantles, mahogany banisters, incredible fretwork, coffered ceilings, plaster moldings, Greek revival columns, window and door moldings, stunning brass hardware, and fully intact stained glass throughout. Built extra deep on the parlor floor, you will be entranced with the bay-windowed double living room that leads into an extra wide and sunny formal dining room complete with stained-glass windows, coffered ceilings, mahogany wainscoting, and then a fully windowed kitchen that leads to a pastoral and sunny garden. The second and third floors, also built unusually deep, each offer 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and the space to easily add additional ensuite bathrooms, home offices and walk-in closets. The original dressing rooms still remain between the bedrooms on both floors and offer ample closet and storage space, and the convenience and charm of the original marble and hand painted shaving sinks. The original dumbwaiter is even still intact, and offers additional storage on every floor! And if that isnt enough history for you, the original wood icebox still exists and makes a wonderful pantry in the kitchen. Enjoy low annual taxes and Brooklyns very own countryside right outside your door, as well as world-class dining, shopping, and amenities in every direction.
