Description
One can easily entertain 150 people. And yet, there are comfortable nooks for more intimate conversations. The dining area accommodates a significant table, seating 12 with room to spare. One could also host a large dinner party on the lush terrace right off the living room surrounded by beautiful plantings and overlooking Prospect Park.
And from all rooms, New York and Brooklyn are laid out at your feet, sun-soaked by day or sparkling at night. The thoughtful kitchen renovation, just completed, is masterful. The 16ft island and backsplash are lustrous dolomitic marble and quartzite, respectively. All cabinetry is custom and includes a hidden, walk-in pantry.
There are 2 Miele dishwashers, a 60”side-by-side Miele fridge/freezer, and two 30” Miele ovens. Every storage need has been planned for. Across from the island is a custom designed bar with built-in fridge drawers, a freezer, a 145 bottle wine fridge, and space for all the libations and glassware you can dream of owning. The west facing primary suite is a perfect place to watch the sunset. One can drift off watching the lights of NY harbor and lower Manhattan.
There is a large terrace, private to the suite as well as 2 walk-in closets and a 3rd storage closet. The primary bath is a masterpiece with double sinks set in a 9ft granite vanity, a soaking tub and a walk-in shower for two. Even from here the views are glorious. 3 more bedrooms and 2 more renovated baths, a powder room, a laundry room, multiple storage closets and a well-designed entryway complete this floor. Upstairs, one finds the crowning glory of this home.
The nearly 2000 SF terrace has sweeping views east, south, and west of everything from the ocean to the city and all that’s in between: Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Library, the Brooklyn Museum, Grand Army Plaza, the Verrazano Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Brownstone Brooklyn and the Manhattan skyline. A pergola provides shade, a barbecue corner that has 2 grills, seated dining for 12+ exists, and the lounging area is expansive. Custom planters, mature plantings, an irrigation system, and custom lighting complete the picture.
The current owners have supported many causes with parties on their roof and can attest to its being able to accommodate hundreds of people. Yet it’s also the perfect refuge for a morning coffee or evening drink.
