114 Pierrepont Street, 2

The rarest of opportunities to own a palatial duplex in one of Brooklyn Heights’ most spectacular Romanesque Revival mansions on the primest of prime Brooklyn Heights’ blocks. 114 Pierrepont was built in 1858 and redone by Alfred C. Barnes in 1887 with the addition of turrets, gables and Tiffany glass window inserts. This beautiful building with rounded bays has had many iterations over the decades, as the home of The Brooklyn Women’s Club and as a Christian Science Church, and since 1982, the home of a coveted Co-op of just eight unique residences. Residence Two occupies the entire 36’ wide Parlour Floor with a jaw-dropping open living space offering soaring 13’ ceilings and treetop views over Pierrepont. The gracious living room features a striking, carved mahogany mantle over a working gas fireplace. The stunning carved mahogany mantles and pillars are offset by crisp white wainscoting, light blue painted walls and ceiling, original shutters and a white tiled fireplace. The result is a brilliant combination of old and new that is warm, elegant, and inviting. And then, there’s the dining room! Another working gas fireplace graces the light-filled space with two more beautiful windows and plenty of room to enjoy meals together. Cooking is a dream in the newly updated kitchen with brand-new Whirlpool and Bosch appliances, plenty of workspace, built-in cabinetry, and a large floor-to-ceiling pantry for additional storage. A wide staircase leads to the private Master Suite with a refined ensuite bathroom and a wall of custom closets. The downstairs bedroom wing offers three comfortable bedrooms, a newly-renovated full bathroom and a den with a third working gas fireplace. The home has been outfitted with A/C, washer/dryer and thoughtfully customized closets and built-ins throughout. This well-maintained Co-op was recently updated with a new boiler, facade repointing, updated lobby and stairwells, as well as a bike room and beautifully landscaped common garden. On a quiet, tree lined street in Brooklyn Heights Historic District, just minutes from the Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, iconic eateries and centrally located near public transportation, 114 Pierrepont truly encapsulates the best of Brooklyn.
