Elegant Brooklyn Brownstone

This private townhouse located on one of historic Brooklyn's principal avenues was built in 1876 for a world famous engineer. Your welcome to the residence begins at the foyer where a warm historic charm exudes from the crown molding, burled wainscoting, walnut staircase and hardwood floors. These charming features are accented by a modern elegant aesthetic which typify the classic blend of the traditional and the new throughout this residence. Presenting to the left, a custom crystal chandelier crowns the spacious formal, yet tastefully eclectic living room. Open etched-glass pocket doors unveil the elegant adjoining library with comfortable upholstered furnishing and a fireplace with original brass crested “irons” dating back to the time when the prolific inventor may have sat with his family at the hearth. Decorative molded brass outlines the ornate marble fireplace, one of seven in this magnificent home. Here too, the original chandelier hangs center above a space appropriately accessorized with pieces of the past and present or cleared to accommodate the needs of our guests.
