Exquisitely Renovated & Restored, Two Family, Turn of the Century Brooklyn Townhouse:This brick beauty is dripping with original details including crown moldings, ornate plaster work, stunning archways and columns, and gorgeous parquet floors throughout. Custom interior shutters built by Red Hook Shutter Co. authentically dress the windows as well. Up the stoop and through the double doors of the main dwelling you are greeted with the original grand banister winding up through the home. The soaring ceilings, enormous open living room, big bay windows and original fire place surround of the parlor level create a sense of history, glamour and charm. Continue through to the wide open kitchen which features wall to wall windows overlooking the expansive garden. The kitchen was recently renovated with floor to ceiling cabinetry, stone counters, a large center island and high end fixtures and appliances including a Bertazoni oven & microwave, Bosch Silence-plus dishwasher, Fisher-Paykal refrigerator, Moen hands free faucet and a wine refrigerator. A large deck with ample space for grilling and lounging leads down to the big, grassy backyard. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and a full bath. The large primary bedroom features an enormous closet and plenty of space to add an additional bathroom if you so desire. The lovely ground floor apartment could remain separate for some welcome rental income or guest quarters, or could easily be incorporated into the main house for extra living space if the need arises. There is a full unfinished basement perfect for storage or a future recreation room as well. Additional upgrades include dual-zoned central air conditioning, Ecobee smart thermostats, Aquasana whole-house water filtration system, Honeywell alarm system, Electrolux washer/dryer and a mix of Leviton, Belkin & Z-wave smart lights. Fios internet ready as well. High end light fixtures throughout, including Schoolhouse Electric and Design Within Reach elevate the space to the next level and balance old with new. This true gem of a townhouse is located on a tree-lined block on the border of Windsor Terrace and Kensington, and just a few blocks from Prospect Park with all of its amazing outdoor offerings.
