Exceptional Brownstone with exquisite period details inside and out. The elegant brownstone and brick facade of the building features stonework carvings, beautiful metal lintel and Queen Anne turret, complete with peeping window that looks out on the quiet tree-lined block between Rogers and Nostrand Avenue. The home features wainscoting throughout, French doors, stained-glass windows, center staircase with hand carved bannisters, oversized original front door, gorgeous ceiling medallions, lace plasterwork, crown moldings, marble mantle fireplaces, pocket shutters, original inlaid hardwood floors and built-in wooden closets and decorative woodwork. The garden level includes large eat-in kitchen in the back with a door leading out to the 65' deep garden, large kitchen pantry, garden level foyer, front dining room and a full bathroom. The parlor floor has grand foyer with wood and metal fretwork, central parlor/sitting room with one-of-a-kind arched alcove for the beautiful marble mantle fireplace, along with a large living room space in the back and front parlor with two sets of original French doors. The third floor features full bathroom, two enormous bedrooms, each with its own marble sink and walk-in closets. The fourth floor has two more giant bedrooms with closets, full bathroom, another marble sink, and large closet that has plumbing for washer/dryer. The front bedroom on the fourth floor features the traditional side-by-side benches that provide a comfortable perch for gazing through the peeping window. The lot is 20' wide by 125.25' deep and the house is 20' wide by 45' deep. Currently 3,760 sq. ft. in size, the zoning on the lot allows owners to build an additional 1,250 sq. ft. The building is in excellent estate condition and would be ideally suited as a grand single family residence. However, with a small amount of work, it could also be transformed into a unique multi-family building or condo conversion that would make it a valuable investment property. Act quickly on this rare opportunity to live in one of the best Crown Heights locations, and you'll soon find yourself enjoying the amazing local boutiques, restaurants and bars that are run by the most innovative entrepreneurs in the city.
