152 Underhill Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238

An award-winning architect and artist/collector collaborated to design this majestic two-family, 20' limestone townhouse showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and remarkable natural light throughout in the heart of Prospect Heights. With classic restored elements juxtaposed with a modern aesthetic and conveniences, this exquisite residence features a brilliant floor plan that graces the sprawling living, dining, and entertaining space with multiple skylights and a deck with glorious sunset views. PARLOR LEVEL: The attention to detail in the design throughout is instantaneously evidenced in the generously proportioned entry foyer of the owner's duplex, where original moldings were repurposed and natural light pours in from a skylight at the top of the staircase before you. A coat closet is immediately off the foyer, and there is also ample room to leave other belongings (including strollers) before proceeding down the wide hallway to the bedrooms. The master suite enjoys treetop views, a cedar-lined walk-through closet, and a stunning master bathroom swathed with Bisazza tile work. With rear bay windows framing garden views, the king-sized second bedroom also offers a cedar-lined closet and a separated windowed nook. The third bedroom is currently being used as a painting studio, speaking to the lovely light it receives. An additional windowed full bathroom, linen closet, and vented W/D are also on this floor. UPPER LEVEL: After heading up the beautifully restored staircase bathed in sun from the skylight above, you arrive on the top floor - the crown jewel of the residence. As you round the corner to the landing you are struck by the handsome wide plank hickory floors and a dramatic wall of walnut with built-in shelving. The natural light on this level is extraordinary as the front bay of windows is complemented with multiple skylights and a clerestory that sends the sun cascading around the living room all day long. An open chef's kitchen is the centerpiece and includes cabinetry of walnut and a custom pale blue developed by the artist/collector, Jet Mist granite countertops with a breakfast bar, an Elkay sink with a built-in stainless steel drainboard, a Wolf four-burner range plus ceramic grill with commercial grade exhaust, and Sub Zero refrigerator. The kitchen opens onto a beautifully proportioned dining area, leading to a landscaped and irrigated terrace complete with a dedicated gas line for a grill, space for additional dining, jaw-dropping sunsets, and views of the backyards of townhouses and open sky that seem to stretch for miles. A spacious office on this level enjoys these views as well, and a windowed half-bathroom with a utility room is an additional convenience. GARDEN UNIT: Although the garden unit was not updated with the rest of the home, this spacious convertible two-bedroom has consistently rented quickly. With some minor updating (and even a potential combination with a portion of the basement), more rent could be easily generated to maximize your income potential. GARDEN: A recently updated romantic garden is accessible to both apartments through the garden floor hallways, however direct access to the upper duplex could very easily be added. With ample room for a full dinner table, BBQ, as well as a pebbled relaxation area with mature plantings, this garden is the perfect outdoor oasis. Situated at the end of a row of limestone homes on a beautifully tree-lined street, 152 Underhill Avenue is in one of the most ideal locations for access to the very best Brooklyn has to offer. A plethora of Brooklyn's famed treasures are right outside your door including the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, the main branch of the Brooklyn Library, and Prospect Park. The 2/3 and the Q/B express trains are all within a few blocks. An array of acclaimed new eateries, bakeries and wine shops are right around the block. This wonderful home and location offers all the best of Brooklyn living in one package.
