Description

This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a turn-key luxury 4 bedroom pre-war condominium in the heart of brownstone Brooklyn. The corner 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom residence is situated on the parlor floor of the historic and architecturally notable Bennett House. Located only one block to Prospect Park, the entire space basks in incredible light from huge floor-to-ceiling windows, with sunlight shining in from 15 windows on all four sides of the floor-through home. Elevated and bespoke finishes include Calacatta marble throughout the spacious chef's kitchen, custom cabinetry and lighting, and wide planked Vermont Ash hardwood floors. This is a residence that has been updated with every modern convenience and luxury.

A windowed foyer and a serene and spacious dining room welcomes you to the home. The adjacent chef's kitchen is the perfect space for cooking and entertaining. The large center island features Calacatta marble waterfall countertops and provides additional seating. The gourmet kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances by Wolf and SubZero, sleek white cabinetry with hidden appliances, and a built-in wine fridge. The elegant and well-proportioned living room is located on the corner of the building overlooking the tree-lined streets of Park Slope, and can be arranged to accommodate a formal sitting area and a den or play area.

A bright and airy corner king-sized primary bedroom suite features a large customized walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom with marble finishes and an oversized glass enclosed shower with rain shower head. Three additional bedrooms are comfortably appointed and have adjacent bathrooms. One bedroom is currently being used as a home office, with built-in Cerused oak cabinetry and a built-in desk and can easily function as a full time bedroom, nursery, office, or exercise space. All three full baths in the unit feature stylish marble and tiling, Lacava fixtures, Furniture Guild vanities, and custom hardware and glass shelving. An in-unit washer and dryer in the hallway completes the layout.

The home has also been upgraded with carefully curated details throughout for the ultimate in modern living. Windows are outfitted with motorized Hunter Douglas shades; there is an integrated speaker system with 4 zones, and 2-zone Nest thermostats. Custom California Closets in all closets maximize storage space. Custom wallpaper by Holly Hunt and Zoffany, high end hardware and fixtures by Restoration Hardware and Architectural Grille, and custom lighting and Armani Casa drapery throughout the space elevate the look for gracious living.

Residents enjoy a communal furnished roof deck with spectacular views of Park Slope, of sunsets over the Manhattan skyline, and of the Statue of Liberty. Included are a private storage unit in the basement and ample parking/storage for bicycles. An additional and significant benefit is the low monthly carrying costs on the home.

The Bennett House is a distinctive 1909 building that has been recently converted to five modern residences. Its namesake, Thomas Bennett, is the architect credited with creating the classical fabric of Park Slope. The property's Renaissance Revival limestone facade, wrought iron balconies and intricate roof cornice evoke an old-world romanticism, while the historic interior details have been seamlessly married with modern luxuries. This location is at the epicenter of desirable Brooklyn living, with nearby 7th Avenue, home to all of Park Slope's shopping and dining locations. Also located nearby are the Brooklyn Library, Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The rest of New York City is easily accessible via the F & G trains at 8th Avenue and the 2, 3, & 4 trains at Grand Army Plaza.
