Own a piece of Brooklyn history! The Huberty House is an individual historic landmark home built in 1900 by Helmle & Huberty, designers of the Prospect Park Boathouse amongst other famed Brooklyn sites. This massive, free-standing house was designed in the Colonial Revival style, and has been in the same family since 1937, who have lovingly preserved the incredible original details and charm. Enter through the majestic portico, into the grand hallway, and you will immediately be transported back in time to another era. The home showcases soaring high ceilings, stunning inlaid hardwood floors, ornate plaster moldings, gorgeous stained glass, and a gracious flow. With a parlor, library, den and formal living room, there is no shortage of space for entertaining and grand living. This home is a legal single family home with an office (formerly a doctor's office), but could easily be reimagined in a myriad number of ways by a visionary end-user or developer. This home has over 8,000sqft of unused air rights which could eventually be sold for a hefty price to a developer for a future building project within close proximity to this house. Bring your architect! This 40 foot wide house is over 5000sqft (not counting the 1,725sqft basement with nearly 10 foot ceilings) on a 50' x 85' lot, with a private garden in the rear of the property. Upon entry to the main floor, you will find a majestic entry hallway and several distinctive living spaces, each featuring their own character and details. The dining room, featuring a spectacular fireplace and bay window, is an incredible space for hosting parties. The kitchen has been modernized for today’s living and is large enough to have a casual eating area. Several doors lead to the backyard for easy access to outdoor living. A side entrance to the living room and a lab room harken back to the house’s past when an earlier owner used the home for his medical practice. Ascending the staircase, past a breathtaking stained glass on the landing, and you will discover an ornately decorated center hallway with high ceilings that create a feeling of grandeur. The second floor features four large bedrooms. Each bedroom has two exposures making them light and bright. Two Jack & Jill bathrooms, each with its own original detail and stained glass, connect the bedrooms. Not to be missed is the unique solarium/sun room lined with windows and a perfect respite to the outside world. The third floor, easily accessed by a staircase in the second-floor hallway, is space ready for renovating. Currently configured into three large rooms and a bathroom, the space could easily be used as additional bedrooms, offices, or other recreational spaces. This house is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Bring this museum piece back to its original glory, or recreate the layout to fit your needs. Please note the 3D Tour, photos, and video tour do not depict the top floor or basement. Please inquire for additional images. This stunning home will not last!
