288 7th St Unit 2 Parkslope, NY 11215

A turn-of-the-century carriage house for a local Brooklyn dairy is reborn for this century as three spectacular duplex homes. Every detail of this old neighborhood's historic complexion has been preserved in the architectural vernacular.

As you approach the building, nestled in the middle of a picturesque tree-lined street in Park Slope, you will recognize certain touches that a discerning New Yorker might expect to find among the architecture of one of our most treasured old neighborhoods. A copper mansard roof is surrounded by beautiful brick work that meets the sidewalk punctuated by heavy solid wood carriage house doors. Through a towering iron gate, you enter a garden that leads to another heavy solid wood door behind which lies an elegant urban lifestyle.

Each of the three uniquely-crafted homes was built with authentic materials, seamlessly blending contemporary amenities with pre-war proportions. A private keyed elevator takes you to grand and inviting floor plans.

Apartment 2 is a sprawling 2600+ square foot duplex with four exposures and a sunlit terrace that extends your living and dining spaces outdoors - perfect for meals overlooking the lush gardens below. A private, keyed elevator opens into a 31 ft wide living/dining/kitchen area framed by an 11 ft high wall that is almost entirely windows and terrace doors, making this one of Park Slope's most spacious and welcoming interior spaces. The master suite, with its bath reminiscent of those in historic New York hotels, two very large walk-in closets, and lovely arched balcony doors, further exemplifies this home's pre-war proportions. Climb the dramatic staircase past a huge two-story window to the second floor where you will find two more bedrooms, a beautifully tiled full bath and a separate laundry room.

Features of this home include dual-zone radiant heat floors throughout, soaring ceilings, Marvin oversized casement windows, wood burning fireplaces with mantles fashioned from the building's original beams, Fujitsu dual-zone remote controlled ductless central HVAC system, a serious chef's kitchen with solid smoke-stained cherry wood cabinetry, Bertazzoni gas range and Villeroy & Boch fireclay farm sink, a Victoria & Albert claw-foot soaking tub in the master bath suite with a separate water closet, walk- in shower with dual shower heads, and a full-sized laundry room with Whirlpool front-loading steam washer/dryer. This apartment has a high-efficiency boiler and instant hot water tank, as well as a private locked storage room. OFFERING BY PROSPECTUS ONLY.
