At 21 wide, with an extension on the first two floors, this home gives you an opportunity to enjoy wonderfully open and dramatic space in addition to a collection of perfectly preserved museum-quality details and every possible modern luxury. The current owners respectfully restored all of the original details including plasterwork and ceiling medallions, Greek Revival columns, stunning Tiger Oak inlaid floors, marble mantles, a handsome brownstone faade, and mahogany banisters and newel posts, to name a few. With a nod to the future, they also renovated everything extensively from the inside out, including central AC, updated electric and plumbing, new windows, raised ceilings, and custom closets.

Bathrooms throughout have all been renovated and include a suite of timeless materials and quality finishes. In addition to the four full floors of living space, there is an extensive cellar that can be used for storage or future conversion to a family recreational area.Enjoy the charm of a landmarked tree-lined block, on one of the famed fruit streets, a short jaunt to every subway line (2/3/4/5/R/A/C), Brooklyn Bridge Park, Dumbo, and a host of wonderful amenities in every direction, a world away from the bustle of the city and just one subway stop to Manhattan.
