Truly unique opportunity to live in one of the grandest homes on one of the best blocks in a stunning and dramatic parlor floor condo in prime Fort Greene. Four unique floor-through units have been respectfully carved out of this extra-wide (23’ wide!) and magnificent Italianate mansion, offering buyers the intimacy of a smaller condo community but all of the drama, light and scale that can only be afforded by a historical mansion in one of Brooklyn’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods. Situated a half a block to the famed Olmstead-designed Fort Greene Park, as well as the finest dining and amenities in every direction, including Romans, Evalina and Miss Ada’s, to name a few. Cultural institutions right outside your door include BAM, Mark Morris, and Greenlight Books, as well as every single subway line at Atlantic Center and Dekalb Avenues, Whole Foods and the Apple Store.
The best of all worlds awaits. Head up the stoop to this parlor floor and enjoy a loft-like 1066 SF home with over 12’ ceilings and museum-worthy historical details throughout plus a small balcony. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows for amazing light all day, and then dig into all of the details that separate this home out from the crowd; two ornate marble hand-carved Carrara mantlepieces flanked by oversized Piers mirrors, ornate coffered plaster ceilings, wedding cake plaster picture moldings, and dazzling inlaid floors with the original nail heads. Newly painted throughout.
Currently configured as a large one bedroom home separated by the massive and intact original oversized pocket doors, this home has the ability to be used as a studio, one or two bedroom home, depending upon your needs. The overwhelming scale of the front parlor easily accommodates one or two bedrooms plus a living room The even wider back parlor has been masterfully designed with a true chef’s kitchen, formal dining area, and a large windowed bathroom. Owned by a professional chef, you will be greeted by a large wall of flush custom cabinetry and large pull out pantries, plus a vented 6-burner Bertazzoni range and Bosch dishwasher. A vented washer and dryer have also been cleverly concealed in the oversized kitchen area. Enjoy entertaining with a full garden view through the oversized glass door that takes you to a small private balcony for al fresco dining. The recently renovated windowed spa bathroom has been outfitted with a large glass-tiled shower and Porcher sink.
The building amenities include a large basement for extra storage, a newly redone roof, and low monthlies and taxes. If your budget allows, the 2 bedroom garden unit is also available for sale and could be easily combined with the parlor floor to create a one-of-a-kind 3 to 4 bedroom 2100 SF garden duplex.
