Description

Sophisticated and spectacular in every way, this meticulously renovated five-bedroom, five-and-a-half- bathroom mansion sets the stage for elegant indoor-outdoor living and lavish entertaining in Bay Ridge's coveted estate section. Spanning close to 5000 square feet over four beautifully planned levels, this exquisite Brooklyn home impresses with refinished inlaid hardwood floors, intricate old-world millwork, and distinctive soaring ceilings. The gracious entry opens to a classic center-hall layout, creating an ideal flow for elegant entertaining. Relax in the formal living room surrounded by a stately fireplace, ornate ceiling medallion and large sunroom, or plan your next dinner party in the huge formal dining room. Ahead, a convenient butler's pantry leads to a sprawling chef's kitchen paved with Botticino marble tile and filled with custom cabinetry, a large center island and a sunny breakfast room with a carved wood fireplace. Cooking for two or two dozen is effortless thanks to a suite of Thermador stainless steel appliances, including a restaurant-caliber range. The flexible main-level layout also offers a large study and powder room near the dining room and a wonderful family room near the kitchen. Throughout the first floor, French doors open to the huge 93-foot by 100-foot lot's magnificent yard for seamless indoor-outdoor enjoyment. Enjoy al fresco dining and lounging on the large deck and expansive paver patios, take a dip in the sparkling, heated pool featuring a motorized cover, and discover plenty of space for pets and play on lush lawns surrounded by verdant landscaping and tall privacy hedges and fencing. Luxurious accommodations begin on the second floor, where the tranquil primary bedroom features two walk-in closets and a showstopping marble spa bathroom featuring a freestanding tub, shower, private water closet and two vanities, all warmed by a lovely fireplace. A secondary suite on this level is joined by a luxurious hall bathroom with a soaking tub and Juliet balcony. On the top floor you will find another master-suit with its own private bathroom plus one more full-size bedroom. Bathrooms throughout the home enjoy radiant heated floors for added comfort. This home's lower level is perfect for fun and games thanks to an oversized wine room and a large home rec room/cinema area with a projector, screen and theater seating. This floor also includes a full bathroom and a massive laundry room. Abundant closet space throughout the home and the attached two-car tandem garage add generous storage. Positioned high above the street for optimal privacy and grandeur, the home's stunning front garden and handsome façade add enviable curb appeal. Located in a breathtaking Bay Ridge block lined with stately homes and trees, this home is close to outstanding dining and shopping along 3rd and 5th Avenues. Stunning waterfront outdoor space and breathtaking bridge views are just two blocks away. Excellent bus service, the R train, Bay Ridge Ferry Terminal, Belt Parkway and Verrazano-Narrows Bridge provide easy access to the rest of the city and beyond.
