157 Wyckoff Street

Well-proportioned and roomy, this graceful four story, two family Italianate-style townhouse embodies the relaxed and trendy vibe of Boerum Hill. The gracious upper triplex, with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, sits above a garden level one-bedroom apartment. The home retains five carrara marble mantles from when it was built in 1869 along with some original mahogany woodwork. With a nod to the environment, solar panels were installed last year when the roof was replaced, providing more energy than the house consumes. At the top of the high stoop, enter the owner’s triplex through a set of beautiful arched mahogany doors into a stunning parlor with high ceilings, elegant full height windows and two antique mantels. The front parlor leads to the formal dining room, perfect for entertaining, with a custom built-in bar and open to the kitchen with a large center island. Step outside to the home's serene refuge, a broad wooden deck overlooking a landscaped garden. Before heading upstairs, check out the delightful powder room tucked behind the stairs to catch a glimpse of yourself in the infinity mirrors. A route to the cellar has been maintained for the owner providing additional storage space and access to the mechanicals. The second floor contains two oversized rooms, one has been opened up to create an inviting place to chat, watch movies or read a book. Illuminated by three south facing windows, masterfully crafted dark wood frames the room and exposed brick adds warmth and texture. Cozy yet spacious, this surely would be your go-to spot to relax. The primary bedroom faces the garden with a walk-in cedar closet and an en-suite bath that contains a glass enclosed shower, fully renovated in 2014. A laundry room with full-size units and a separate closet in the hallway provide ample storage. The top floor offers two spacious bedrooms separated by another huge walk-in cedar closet. They share a luxurious windowed bathroom that showcases a gorgeous clawfoot tub along with double sinks and make-up stations with custom built-in vanities. This wonderful and well cared for home sits on a tree-lined block. Located close to Smith and Court Streets, there are many local shops and restaurants to enjoy. Three subway stations are easily within reach providing access to practically every corner of the city. Boerum Hill’s history can be traced back to 1645 where your future awaits. * some rooms have been virtually painted
