Description

240 Berkely Place is a magnificent, landmarked, 1887 five-story, Romanesque Revival, 20 x 50ft. plus a three story 14 x 16ft. extension, totaling 5,714sq. ft. of ultra-prime residential space.

It is perfectly set on a 100ft. lot, just below 8th Avenue in the historic North Slope. Originally built as a single-family mansion it beautifully illustrates the elegance of New York's Gilded Age. Though currently configured as a three-family with an owner's garden/parlor duplex, a third-floor apartment, and a fourth/fifth floor upper duplex, it retains its original character and grandeur. Opulent mahogany and oak details, six highly ornamented tile and marble fireplaces, and multiple stained-glass windows, are all remarkably preserved. Its dramatic, unique, Euclid stone, terra cotta and brick facade was featured in the 2003 movie "Duplex" directed by Danny Devito, starring Drew Barrymore and Ben Stiller as a young couple buying the home of their dreams. In real life, the owner's garden/parlor duplex designer resto-renovation far exceeds the movie couple's fantasy. The majestic front parlor with twelve-foot ceilings and statuesque bay windows leads to an open kitchen with spectacular cabinetry, white quartzite counters and island, plus a full complement of professional-grade appliances. The extension houses a half-bath and sunny guest bedroom with access to a metal deck and stairs to the picturesque south garden. Its recently constructed, expansive brick patio with pergola offers sun and shade in this walled oasis.


Going forward from the garden level rear bedroom with yard access is a sumptuous spa/bathroom with stone and glass shower and freestanding soaker tub. The adjacent hallway leads to a full laundry room with sink and stone counters as well as a large walk-in closet. The lovely front bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with shower, period details, fireplace, and private street-level entrance. In addition, the entire duplex has central air.


Apt. 2 - The glorious third floor presents a light-filled front room extending the entire width of the building, airy ten-foot ceilings, tall bay windows, two fireplaces and beautiful woodwork throughout. A charming walk-through kitchen leads to an impeccable living/dining room and a rear bedroom with windows on three sides, as well as a period bath, and a walk-in closet.


Apt. 3 Upper Duplex - The fourth floor has great style and warmth, with a six paned arched window, the focal point of the living room, overlooking the grandeur of Berkely Place and its environs. There is an adjoining nursery/office and recently renovated kitchen with classic tile and cabinetry leading to a bedroom/dining room of ample proportions as well as a full bath with an exquisite stained-glass window. Off the bedroom is a very private 14 x 16ft roof deck with dazzling sunset views.


The fifth floor has the wonderful feel of a Hampton's cottage. A full-width rear bedroom features an ensuite renovated bath. The adjoining hallway leads to a separate w/c, laundry area with washer/dryer, a whimsical front rec/playroom with a storage closet large enough to handle steamer trunks plus all manner of sports gear and collectibles from your various travels.


This very special, gracious home, located on one of Park Slope's prettiest blocks, is near it all: exceptional private and public schools, quality shops and restaurants, The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Public Library and, of course, Prospect Park. You're sure to meet your neighbors at Saturday's Grand Army Plaza Farmer's Market.
