> Magnificent & Grand Romanesque Revival! > Designed and built in 1898 by Brooklyn Architect John C. Sawkins, this highly detailed original townhouse located in Landmarked Historic Lefferts Manor is simply amazing! > There are approximately 20 4-story brick, lime and brownstone homes on the south side of this coveted block similar in style and design, however there are only four that are identical to this rock-faced limestone where three-sided angular bay windows make for a grand entrance. > The parlor level is rich, grand and extraordinary in every sense of the words. > An original Mahogany Pier mirror graces the entry hallway, and pocket doors to the right of the hallway lead to an elegant parlor where there is another Pier mirror, an original crystal Chandelier, and musically-inspired fretwork that separates the first and second parlors. > There are six mantles throughout the house including two here on the triple parlor level, and another downstairs on the garden level. > The three remaining mantles are on the upstairs bedroom levels. > Original artwork, sculptures, trophies and awards are displayed beautifully throughout the home and also proudly among them, several Peabody Awards. > The dining room, downstairs on the garden level, is completely original. > The lovely craftsman built-ins remain intact and are in very good condition as is the rest of the woodwork in the house, including the intricately patterned decorative parquet floors. > The spacious kitchen has been moderately updated with honed marble countertops, a center island, and stainless steel appliances. > There is access from this area to a sweet powder room. > The laundry room - to the rear of the kitchen - leads to a beautiful south-facing garden where vines, flowering annuals and comfortable seating make for perfect family gatherings and gracious entertaining. > Upstairs there are five bedrooms, a home office, storage and two full bathrooms on the third and fourth floors. > Two skylights on the top floor, one of lead and stained glass, and another in the renovated hall bath, of transparent glass, illuminate beautifully. > Original built-in shutters are an enhancement in every room with the exception of the music room here at the top which takes on a lovely modern design, a surprising yet interesting twist from the house's vintage interior, another classic example of the home's versatility and adaptability to showcase classic and modern together in a very unique way. > This is a great property and a rare opportunity to own a move-in condition home in a Landmarked community, Historic Lefferts Manor, where there is such great pride and community enrichment. > Two blocks from Q, B subways, Prospect Park, and Botanic Garden. > 30 minutes to Wall Street and midtown-Manhattan.
