Showing by special appointment. A RARE FIND AT 47 PLAZA — ON THE 14th FLOOR! Famed architect Rosario Candela designed this grand c.1928 flatiron-shaped Italian-Romanesque building on the corner of Grand Army Plaza and Union Street. Spectacularly situated on the fourteenth floor of one of Park Slope’s most distinctive buildings is this sprawling classic six home, measuring approximately 2,000 square feet with sweeping views that span the Verrazano Bridge to Grand Army Plaza from a remarkable 21 windows! The layout is gracious, starting with an 80-square-foot entry foyer with coat closet. You may never want to leave the expansive architect-designed chef’s kitchen! Inspired details include a peninsula with breakfast bar; five-burner stove with wall oven; walk-in pantry; upper and lower cabinetry plentiful enough to store every pot, dish and bake ware; glass-tiled backsplash; honed granite countertops; corner desk with bookshelves above AND a washer and dryer! After prepping a glorious meal, put your best foot forward by serving it in the formal dining room, which will handily seat a party of 12 with room to spare for sideboard, china cupboard and writing table. Later, you and your guests can relax in the spacious living room, sip an after-dinner sherry and enjoy the expansive view. Three large bedrooms and two full baths (both en-suite) are similarly well proportioned; the master lands in the vertex of the building — a dramatic triangle with two exposures. Architectural details are many and befit the era of this building: ceiling beams, parquet floors and single-panel doors with original brass hardware. The building has 24/7 coverage for doors and elevators and employs a full-time super. Trash and recycling are picked up at the service door outside each apartment; mail and newspapers are left on your doorstep daily. The location could not be more sublime…for cultural experiences at the main branch of the library and the Brooklyn Museum, outdoor activities in Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, culinary options from the Saturday farmers’ market to restaurants in all directions and ease of access to express trains. Sorry, NO DOGS.
