Parkside living and only a few short blocks to Barclays Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Downtown Brooklyn, and the Fulton Street shopping district.
A charming brownstone facade foreshadows a collection of old-world details and modern upgrades that lay within. Chandeliers, crown molding, and medallions punctuate airy ceilings, while a diverse selection of floors include stunning herringbone hardwood with border inlays, radiant heated bluestone pavers, and marble and polished stone tiles. Tall mahogany windows, doorway arches, wall sconces, wainscoting, and original marble fireplace adds elegance from ages past. Building mechanicals are impeccable and include a dual cooling/heating HVAC system and gas-powered steam heat.
