43 Howard Place

Like out of Dwell magazine! This beautiful 1915 home has been masterfully renovated from top to bottom. No detail was overlooked and no expense was spared in its Modern and Minimalist transformation. Great care was taken to preserve the innate charm and beauty of its Arts & Crafts character, while re-imagining every square inch into usable, practical, thoroughly modern space. The charming columned porch leads into a light-filled living room featuring a coffered ceiling and bay windows with their perfectly restored upper stained glass panes. Sun streams into the elegant dining room through French doors leading to the garden. Both the front and back garden have been artfully designed and landscaped, and include: a bluestone deck, cedar fencing, a weeping cherry tree, black bamboo, lavender, a purple plum tree, hydrangeas and azaleas. The custom kitchen is a chefs dream with its cherry cabinetry, Wolf Range and vented hood, Subzero fridge and Bosch dishwasher. The centre staircase is illuminated by a skylight and takes you up to three roomy bedrooms and a home office. The dreamy master bedroom is complete with a walk-in closet and charming window seat, and the perfectly outfitted office offers custom built-ins. The same care and attention to detail that you see throughout the house is evident in the transformation of the basement. Its currently being used as both a massive playroom and guest quarters. Its many other features include central a/c, custom millwork, all new windows, ingenious storage space, a beautifully restored brick faade, new awnings, a laundry room, and all new plumbing and electrical. Youre perfectly located on one of the most coveted streets in Brooklyn. Howard Place is a peaceful, tucked-away block known for its charming porch-front homes and beautiful, century-old trees. Film buffs will also recognize it from the film As Good As It Gets. Youre two short blocks to Prospect Park, the subway is right on the corner and youre a heartbeat away from all of the amazing shops, cafes and restaurants along PPW and South Slope.
