This magnificent 5 bedroom, 6 bath single family townhouse in prime Prospect Lefferts Manor has been renovated down to every last detail. Situated on a picturesque block between Flatbush and Bedford Aves, with conveniences in every direction including Prospect Park, the subways (B/Q/S Prospect Park station), restaurants, cafes and grocery stores. By utilizing the finest craftsmanship techniques that emulate the workmanship of this neighborhood's esteemed past, you will enjoy the richness and warmth that only a historic townhouse affords, with the luxuries and ease of modern living. Designed and built by architect/builder John C. Hawkins in 1898, this impressive home is a stunning example of the Romanesque Revival/neo-Renaissance style that is epitomized by its grand dog-leg stoop, oversized round bays, arched entry, and rock-faced stone bands and window lintels at every level. This statuesque home offers four floors of living space, a south-facing garden and deck, PLUS a completely finished cellar perfect for a gym. Every mechanical element has been replaced, including a central HVAC system, new plumbing, electric, windows, roof, SMART home features (music, intercom, alarm, WiFi and lighting), kitchen and baths. Period detail has been painstakingly recreated and includes window and door casings, intricate base moldings in every room, oversized solid-core doors, weighty hardware, and exquisite wainscoting lining the perimeter of the loft-like parlor. Head up the stoop to a parlor floor with soaring 12' ceilings defined by light flooding in through both the front windows and the back glass doors. A stunning Great Room awash in newly handcrafted historic ornamentation awaits, with enough space for a gracious living room and a formal dining room. Illuminated by a sophisticated foyer with stunning glass transom windows and a beautiful basketweave marble floor, perfect for guests to make a grand entrance. Head to the back past a discrete powder room and a stylish wet bar complete with extra sink, wine cooler, glass display cabinetry, and a marble countertop that makes entertaining a breeze. A chef's eat-in kitchen sits next to a door that leads to a south-facing deck for easy outdoor dining. The kitchen is a timeless classic complete with white lacquered cabinetry, a suite of Bertazzoni appliances including a French door fridge and a 5-burner vented stove, and a dining island. The Carrara marble backsplash and countertop add to the everyday elegance. Head up the brand-new staircase, recreated to match the original, to a primary suite and an additional room in front that is a generous four windows across. Enter the primary suite through a set of oversized doors into a foyer that leads to a bedroom with its very own windowed dressing room, and a spa-like bath complete with a walk-in shower and a large double vanity with Axor chrome and porcelain cross-handle hardware. The next floor up offers three bedrooms plus a home office with tree-top views from every window. Two full baths complete this floor, including one bedroom with an ensuite bath, both the perfect classic black and white tile combo with the added luxury of honed Carrara marble countertops. Head back downstairs to the garden level for a guest suite and full bath, a laundry room with an oversized vented washer and dryer, and a sunny family room and solarium, great for a media room or playroom. Exposed brick columns and an easy walk-out to the garden make this the perfect casual spot for gatherings. And the garden is not to be missed! A charming juxtaposition of bluestone pavers for furniture placement closer to the house, and a grassy back area with perennial beds is the ideal mix of scenic and practical. This is a home that needs to be seen in person for the quality of the workmanship, stunning block, and sheer scale to be truly appreciated.</span></p>
