About This Home
151 Herkimer St. personifies the opportunity to be the new steward of a magnificent property that has been lovingly maintained, and brought into the 21st century with an attention to detail that only an aficionado of historic homes can truly appreciate. This is not the work of a developer, but rather a family that doted on this home with an eye towards merging the best of modern life with the riches of the past. Inhabit a fully restored two-family home in prime Bedford Stuyvesant, on the border of Clinton Hill, close to transportation and award-winning restaurants and amenities in every direction. This townhouse has everything that you have been waiting for; reclaimed period details on every floor, scale, elegance, light, proportions, greenspace, and is fully renovated from top to bottom. Innovative solar panels have even been installed on the roof, ensuring that the new owners will have no electric bills, adding to the affordability of owning such a trophy property.
Built in 1902, this 20" x 45" beauty occupies four floors, plus a cellar, and is a stunning example of the Romanesque Revival period popularized by esteemed architect Montrose Morris. An embellished brick fa ade features bay windows with stained glass transoms; repeating arched windows; and a striking half-moon arched window on the top floor. A rusticated stone base is separated from the red brick above by Byzantine leaf detailing and a distinct corbeled brick cornice frames the roof. This elegant design is mirrored on the interior through repeated ornamental motifs that include restored inlaid floors; two sets of pocket doors with brass hardware; plaster moldings; mantles with hand-fired ceramics; wainscoting; a Piers mirror; and an ornate banister and newel post. High ceilings and incredible light are the hallmark of every room, and much of the intricate woodwork has been painstakingly painted white to increase the illumination throughout the house while still maintaining the character and warmth throughout.
Configured as a 2-family home, you can spread out on the upper three floors and enjoy 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The verdant garden is accessible from both the garden level AND from a spacious deck off the parlor level, ensuring both units can enjoy a garden with mature trees, perennials, and a meandering river stone path. A double parlor enjoys a voluminous living room in front anchored by the original Piers mirror, and a designer kitchen in back that flows to a spacious deck. A discrete powder room is beautifully appointed with Moroccan tile floors. The chef's kitchen has been outfitted with a 6 burner Blue Star range and hood, a 40" Jenn Air fridge, American walnut cabinetry, and a massive island, perfect for casual dining and prep. Quartz countertops pair beautifully with a cream Zellige backsplash and the original tiger oak mantle with beveled mirror, creating a practical yet stylish backdrop for daily dining and lavish hosting.
Head up the historic staircase alongside wainscoted walls where three bedrooms await; two with fully outfitted closets, richly adorned with moldings, and anchored by two magnificent mantles. The windowed bathroom on this floor offers a clawfoot tub with a view, Calacatta marble and subway tiles, and a suite of jewel-like nickel Waterworks fixtures. The top floor is equally glorious with three additional bedrooms, most notably a loft-like front bedroom that spans the entire building width with treetop views, currently used as a painting studio, but easily transformed into the bedroom or office of your dreams. The bathroom on this floor includes an airy walk-in shower illuminated by a skylight and adorned in Nero-Marquina mosaics and hand-crafted subway tile. Even the garden level still enjoys period details including mahogany doors and a decorative mantle. This fully renovated floor makes a fantastic high-income rental that features a separate entrance for your tenant, while allowing the owner to access the cellar for storage.
