27 8th Avenue
FOR IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY
The anchor of historic "Doctor's Row" this commanding and magnificent 22' wide limestone stands a dramatic 5 story home on the corner of tree lined 8th Ave and Lincoln Place, opposite the famed Montauk Club and a stone's throw from glorious Prospect Park. Currently being used as a single 4 story residence with ground floor doctors' office, it was originally constructed by William Gubbins for one of the founders of A&S Department Stores and has been cared for by the same owner for the past 65 years. This townhouse is steeped in history and exemplifies the originally pedigree and charm of this storied neighborhood. Boasting three exposures and exaggerated bay windows, all 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms of this residence are soaked in natural light which illuminates the carefully preserved original details; moldings, massive pier mirrors with brass hooks, 5 mantles with carvings and colorful mosaic tile, pockets doors with crystal cut glass and Jefferson shutters all remain. Not to be forgotten are the intricate stained glass windows that are carefully placed and curated throughout the residence. Designed to impress and entertain, the grand parlor level features 3 chandeliers, 3 magnificent mantels and a fully updated cook's kitchen with subzero refrigerator and granite counters. Up the carved mahogany staircase and find 7 bedrooms quietly tucked away with a master suite complete with east facing terrace, two full baths, one with a claw foot tub and ample closet space. With 4 full floors of masterfully maintained living space, this is a home for the truly discerning. Apologies, no pets.
