372 Pacific Street

If you have been searching for the perfect brownstone in PRIME Boerum Hill, please look no further. Built in 1872 and completely restored by its architect owner between 1999 and 2002, 372 Pacific is an historically significant 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath, 4-story one-family home situated on a landmarked block recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. This is a block that stands out from the crowd with its majestically preserved Queen Anne, Greek Revival and early Italianate architecture, and incredibly convenient location close to Smith Street, Court Street, and Atlantic Avenue, but feels miles away in terms of its everyday peace and quiet. Offering up a charming combination of rustic chic and finely crafted original details, modern conveniences, huge yard, and curb appeal, this is an affordable townhouse that can be moved into as-is, or do a few minor upgrades and have the home of your dreams. Offering a unique array of beautifully preserved elements including seven fireplace mantles, 4 of them with Victorian marble motifs (almost all woodburning), exposed wood beams, high ceilings, wide-plank floors, preserved plaster moldings and Gothic archways, floor-to ceiling fenestration, and a unique Queen Anne-style slate mansard roof topping off a beautiful brownstone facade. An eye-catching hand-carved mahogany center-staircase winds its way up all four floors providing a sculptural element in the center of the home that also allows full-width rooms in front and back for wonderfully proportioned rooms throughout all four floors. Used as a stately 1-family home since it was built in the 19th century, this home retains all of its original integrity. Every room in this jewel box affords great living spaces that need to be seen in person to be believed, and don't miss the South-facing and sunny back rooms, and front rooms with charming views of picturesque Pacific St. Enter through the garden level to a wide-open floorplan with a casual French country kitchen off the garden including a Vulcan range, a powder room, a dining area in the middle, and a comfortable family room in front with exposed brick and a woodburning fireplace. You can also have guests enter up the stoop to an ornate double parlor that is awash in style and light and includes preserved stained glass, graceful archways, oversized windows, custom built-ins, and French doors overlooking a balcony with ornate wrought ironwork, all designed with a nod to Greek, Gothic and Italianate styles. The perfect spot from which to survey your spacious yard complete with brick hardscaping and your very own goldfish pond. The next flight up offers two wide and sunny bedrooms with more original details, and a spacious landing in-between offering great storage. The top floor is a loft-lovers dream and has been opened up completely and includes dramatic exposed beams, high-ceilings, multiple skylights, and exposed brick walls with the perfect patina. The dormered front of this floor is used as a glamorous Primary bedroom and home office area. The back opens up to a 5-fixture Primary bath complete with bay windows overlooking the garden, a deep soaking jacuzzi tub, double vanity, windowed glass enclosed shower and separate toilet room. A fully customized walk-in closet has been built out with real wood millwork and offers shelving, drawers and hanging space. This entire home was restored about 20 years ago so while it may need a few personal touches, the structure is solid as can be and includes updated plumbing and electric and a split AC system. Enjoy an architecturally significant home with low taxes, a full dry cellar for storage, in truly one of the most coveted spots in brownstone Brooklyn. Award-winning restaurants, schools, shops, parking garages and amenities galore just a stone's throw away, and only one subway stop to Manhattan.
