18 Fillmore Place, Williamsburg

This c. 1854 landmarked Italianate one family home has undergone a complete renovation and restoration by the talented team at wedevelop-nyc.

Step back in time while ascending the restored stoop. With its original ironwork and reimagined vestibule through the massive custom doors, it is no wonder this fabled landmarked street was author Henry Miller's favorite block in all of Brooklyn, and wrote of it in "The Tropic of Capricorn."

Sitting at 20 feet wide, this warm brick building boasts pre-war details promising to charm. Complete with its original cornice, historic fireplace mantels, restored staircase, railings, and newel posts.

At nearly 3,000 square feet on four full floors, this ideal floor plan offers four real bedrooms, and four full bathrooms. With its well-equipped kitchen and living room on the parlor level, it is perfectly suited for open plan living. The primary ensuite resides on the top floor with kid's quarters just one floor below. The garden level is home to a cozy den, and one additional bedroom, complete with a full bathroom.

The spacious parlor floor is illuminated by new landmarked wood framed windows, and a glass and steel framed exterior back wall flooding this level with light. The living room is completed by a new working gas fireplace with an original wood mantel. The chef's kitchen features custom millwork with ample storage, and a suite of Bosch and Liebhher appliances, including the thoughtful addition of under cabinet refrigerator drawers to accompany the full-sized refrigerator. The handmade neutral Cle Zellige backsplash is the perfect touch that completes this chic kitchen.

Bring the outside in by opening up the enormous glass doors off the kitchen and walk out on to the 150 sf ipe wood deck. Spacious enough for both grilling and dining, and additionally leads down to the 500 sf garden for stargazing and gardening.

The floor to ceiling glass and steel windows repeat on the garden level illuminating the rear room, ideal for movie night, video gaming, or a Sunday nap. The conventional layout of this level includes a full bath and an additional bedroom that works beautifully for guests or a quiet home office.

The third floor is the ultimate kids' quarters with two large bedrooms, and two windowed bathrooms. The sunny front bedroom has a lovely fireplace mantel, terrific closets, and an adjacent bathroom. The back bedroom is ensuite with a large shower. Lighting, fixtures, and fittings for the bathrooms are a suite of Rejuvenation, Duravit, Kohler, Grohe and Nemo.

The entire top floor is thoughtfully dedicated to the primary suite. The bedroom is in the front half with its three window expanse, and charming brownstone vistas. The centerpiece of the room is a handsome decorative fireplace mantel- just try not to get lost in the enormous walk-in wardrobe. The aspirational sun-drenched bathroom with all three windows across, oversized skylights, water closet, vessel tub and double vanity is absolutely luxurious.

Other creature comforts include energy efficient electric heating and cooling, sprinklers, skylights, all new landmarked windows, and a new roof.

18 Fillmore Place is on the only landmarked historic block in Williamsburg. Located in the heart of Bedford's chic shopping, provisions, coffee shops galore, transportation and divine eats.
