> Located on one of Brooklyn Heights' most coveted blocks, this majestic 1826 shingle front frame landmark townhouse has been impeccably renovated from floors-to-ceilings with an incredible eye for detail. > While maintaining the grace and charm of its Old World features, the house was remodeled to incorporate the comforts of a modern life style, resulting in a unique balance of contemporary "loft like living" and historic elegance. The exceptional width (25.5') and depth (66'), which are characteristic of Federal era houses, create an extraordinary space for entertaining. > The dining room can comfortably accommodate a large gathering and adjoins a gracious parlor. > Both the dining and parlor rooms have wood burning fireplaces and are part of a grand total of seven working fireplaces throughout the house. > The kitchen is also designed with entertaining in mind. > It features a 6 burner Viking gas range and double oven, a restaurant size double door Sub-Zero refrigerator and Miele dishwasher. > There are custom Birdseye maple cabinets, a separate pantry, and a breakfast island overlooking the garden, warmed by a wood burning fireplace. French doors from the dining room and kitchen open onto a deck with a conveniently located gas barbecue. > The deck stairs then lead to a wonderful bamboo shade garden, which includes a unique wood mosaic patio area, a stone seating area and perimeter plantings fed by a dual timed irrigation system. > Accent lighting makes the garden an evening wonderland and the exotic bamboo plants and elegant cedar fencing create a feeling of Zen-like quiet and privacy. The second floor consists of two bedroom suites each with custom designed en-suite bath featuring both glass and marble tiles and European fixtures. > A large, comfortable den and adjoining music room on this floor can also serve as a third bedroom suite. > Additionally there is a complete laundry facility on this level and an abundance of closet space. The top floor is devoted entirely to the master suite divided into 2 separate rooms. > The bedroom with soaring cathedral ceilings, original exposed wood beams and en-suite bath overlooks Willow Street. > There is a lavish walk-in custom closet as well as a separate double closet. > The master bath has a 2-person steam shower, soaking tub, separate toilet room, 6.5' vanity with double sinks, heated towel rack and radiant heat floors among its many spa like features. > The library/home office adjoins the master bedroom and has the same vaulted ceilings with exposed beams as the master bedroom and bath. > It opens to a beautifully landscaped roof garden with IPE wood deck, custom fencing and potted plantings kept in bloom by a dual time irrigation system. > Surrounded by plants and sky, it is a private refuge in a crowded city. In addition there is a renovated two-bedroom garden apartment with a separate under-stoop entrance. > This charming apartment features two working fireplaces. > It is currently rented but can easily be used as service quarters or incorporated into the main house if desired.
