Property Description for 50 Garden Place
Nestled on one of Brooklyn Heights' most desirable and enchanting streets, Garden Place,
rests this magnificent 5-story townhouse with a large private garden, affording
a rare opportunity for the brownstone buyer. Built circa 1885, the handsome
building occupying a 95' lot offers generous living quarters in Brooklyn's best
neighborhood, with 19'2" x 60' depth on its first 2 floors and 19'2" x 40" on
the top 3.
Currently this gem is configured with an exceptional 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom owners'
residence that spans 3.5 levels, and a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath duplex above that can
serve as an ideal tenant's apartment bringing attractive monthly income. However,
you can also combine both units and convert the townhouse to a custom
single-family dream home should you wish to. Interiors are brightened by
oversized windows on east and west exposures and enhanced by such elegant
features as rich wood floors, wood-burning fireplaces, high airy ceilings,
tasteful moldings, and other classically beautiful details. Central-air found
throughout this two-family home.
The owner's unit can be conveniently accessed from the front stoop leading into the parlor
floor, and an entry beneath the stoop that opens to the garden floor mudroom.
The parlor level is perfect for entertaining, presenting an effortless open
flow between the spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and the
gracious dining room for family meals and hosting guests. Beyond is a sun-filled
open kitchen with abundant cabinetry, and a built-in banquette for casual fare.
A staircase descends to the dramatic garden level illuminated by a striking cylindrical
skylight streaming natural light through the 2-story mezzanine into the garden
floor below. The open-concept layout is complemented by fabulous double-height
ceilings in the rear living area with sliding glass doors to the tranquil
garden. This multipurpose floor additionally has a wet bar, extensive closets,
a library, laundry room, powder room, mechanical room, and mudroom lined with
closets.
The lovely 3rd floor consists of 2 sizable bedrooms with ample closets and wood-burning
fireplaces. A deck can be installed in the west bedroom above the extension
below. Centrally positioned is a full hall bath. Plus there's another bedroom
and bath on floor 4.
The original staircase takes you to the upper duplex with a front-facing living room,
wood-burning fireplace, galley kitchen and half bath. Three bedrooms and a full
bath reside on the top floor.
Set at the south end of Garden Place, this historic townhouse is located in a gorgeous
enclave close to excellent shopping and dining on Atlantic Avenue as well as
Court and Smith Streets in adjacent Cobble Hill. Also nearby are a multitude of
subway lines at Borough Hall, and premier outdoor attractions like the Brooklyn
Heights Promenade and world-class Brooklyn Bridge Park. Co-exclusive.

Brooklyn Heights | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Brooklyn Heights was Manhattan’s first suburb. The Brooklyn Bridge is a neighborhood draw, offering some of the most beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline, as well as an easily walkable means of commuting into the City. Montague Street has been the main commercial street in Brooklyn Heights since the 1800s, but it is not overly commercialized. Smaller shops help maintain the small neighborhood feel of Brooklyn Heights.
The quaint cobblestoned side streets highlight the historic feel to this lovely, vibrant neighborhood that is filled with exciting and innovative restaurants, stores that have those perfect home decor items, that little black dress you love, and your favorite dry cleaner is right around the corner. Brooklyn Heights is your perfect city within the City.
There are apartments, condos, and co-ops that resulted from the conversion of pre-war residential hotels. The townhouses in Brooklyn Heights are often five stories, instead of the three stories found elsewhere. You’ll also find row houses and stunning single family mansions. Due to the three protected historic districts, opportunities for new construction are limited, and the appearance of the neighborhood seems frozen in the era when these buildings were originally constructed.
Renowned public and private schools make the neighborhood attractive to young families with school-age children. The neighborhood is generally “kid-friendly,” with parks, playgrounds, and quiet streets where kids can still play safely.
