Property Description for 287 Whitman Drive
Luxurious interiors meet spectacular outdoor space in this custom-built Mill Basin showplace featuring five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a home theater and a resort-like pool deck.
A soaring double-height foyer with inlaid stone floors, coffered ceilings and a majestic floating staircase makes a dramatic first impression in this almost 5,000-square-foot residence. To the left, the formal living room invites you to relax in front of the gas log fireplace and handsome built-in cabinetry. To the right, the formal dining room welcomes large gatherings under a crystal chandelier. The adjacent open kitchen is a chef's wonderland where premium stone counters top custom cabinetry and a massive center island. The fleet of upscale stainless steel appliances includes a side-by-side Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer; a six-burner Wolf range with double ovens, a pot filler and a copper hood; a dishwasher and a built-in microwave. Two sinks, under cabinet lighting and abundant counter-level outlets provide outstanding convenience. Enjoy casual dining at the large breakfast bar, or step onto the adjacent balcony for coffee overlooking the sparkling pool. A powder room and convenient coat closets complete this inviting level.
Ascend the chic staircase to find the corner owner's suite featuring designer wallcoverings, a large walk-in closet, an en suite bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile and a walk-in rain shower for two. Two secondary bedrooms on this level share a full bathroom equipped with a lovely clawfoot soaking tub. On the top floor, a third full bathroom is flanked by two more extra-large bedrooms — one includes a private terrace.
This home's walkout lower level is an entertainer's dream featuring a deluxe theater room, a powder room and a convenient second kitchen. Outside, the magnificent rear yard beckons with an in-ground pool, oversized patio and well-stocked outdoor kitchen, all surrounded by planter boxes and privacy walls and fencing. This home features zoned HVAC and an extensive security system. Gorgeous landscaping and a handsome brick facade add irresistible curb appeal, while a wide driveway and attached garage provide plenty of parking in this special Brooklyn home.
