*A Modern Gem in a Historic Setting*
Step into a slice of Brooklyn history wrapped in charm and modern comfort: a sprawling 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom duplex tucked inside an elegant 1880s barrel-front limestone townhouse co-op. This full-floor parlor and second-floor residence comes complete with private outdoor spaces — a charming deck and a lush garden that feel like your own secret oasis in the heart of the city.
On the parlor level you'll be swept away by soaring 11-foot ceilings, sunlit grandeur, and a level of craftsmanship that’s hard to come by. Think original hardwood floors, beautifully restored woodwork, intricate plaster moldings, ornate fireplaces, rich mantles, and pocket doors that whisper stories from another era. And the kitchen? A chef’s dream with its sleek architectural design, crisp white stone counters, classic tiled backsplash, abundant cabinetry, built-in wine rack, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including Bosch, Monogram, and Fisher & Paykel.
Just off the kitchen, your private deck — shaded by a leafy tree — is the ideal perch for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. A staircase leads you down to a full, romantic garden and patio that’s all yours.
Upstairs, the top floor hosts two beautifully appointed bedrooms, an additional study or dressing room, and a renovated bath. The primary suite is graciously sized, comfortably fitting a king-sized bed and more with a decorative fireplace and accessibility to a dressing room that doesn't skimp on space. The second bedroom is equally charming, with high ceilings, another fireplace, a bay window perfect for a desk, and generous light.
The co-op itself is intimate, housing just three residences, which means low traffic and a true sense of privacy. Shared amenities include laundry, bike storage, and basement storage.
Just one block from Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park, near the B, Q, 2/3 trains, and steps from the vibrant dining and shopping of 7th Avenue, this home is a rare offering — the kind that doesn’t come around often.
Come see for yourself — this one’s got soul, space, and style in spades.
