Coveted Garden Place Home

Garden Place is the signature block in Brooklyn Heights, a quiet, tree-lined oasis tucked away from the bustle of nearby streets. Number 12 Garden Place is one of five contiguous brownstone row houses on the east side of the street built just after the Civil War. This breathtaking home is approximately 20 feet wide by 50 feet deep, containing approximately 4,000 square feet of gracious living space over four floors plus a full cellar. There is a beautifully landscaped garden, and east/west exposures provide morning light in the front of the house and afternoon light in the rear.  There are four bedrooms in addition to three smaller rooms used for two separate home offices and storage. There are three full and one half bathrooms.  The garden floor has a formal dining room and an oversized sized chef’s kitchen with a view of and access to the garden. The parlor floor is a superb open space, reminiscent of a gallery, with 12-foot ceilings and excellent light and access to the garden. There are 6 fireplaces throughout the home, 2 in working order. The overall condition of this home is excellent. The mechanical and operating systems have all been upgraded, including the electrical, plumbing, heating and central air conditioning.  The kitchen appliances are all top of the line with stainless steel finishes. This home has been in the same family for 40 years but is thoroughly up to date, finished with a contemporary sensibility and traditional quality.
