In the center of Historic Prospect Heights, on a tree-lined block sits the remarkable four-story brownstone that is 369 Park Place. The double doors and transom welcome you at the top of the box stoop to the parlor level of the beautifully renovated owner's lower duplex. This three-family home exemplifies the impeccable melding of the 1896 original details with modern luxuries-the previously restored woodwork, moldings, tiled fireplace, stained-glass transoms, marble, and mahogany finishes have been maintained.
Just off the front parlor and dining room, the kitchen sits in the extension and culminates onto an iron wrought deck. The curated kitchen-a chef's dream: marble backsplash, Wolf 6-burner stove, Wolf drawer microwave, Subzero Fridge, Rutt custom cabinets, Sonos sound system and library ladder to access extra storage--is flooded with light through the massive Klearwall Ecocolad windows. A beautifully wallpapered powder room sits at the rear parlor.
The meticulous details are carried downward to the garden level's 4 beds, 2 baths. The primary designer bath has a rain shower. The spacious, rear bath has a soaking tub and shower. Currently arranged with the primary suite at the front of the house and back bedroom is used as a recreation/playroom. The playroom's side door leads you into the magnificent sanctuary of the back garden, outfitted with a new gas grill, patio, Synlawn, and surrounded by walls of greenery.
With 3 exposures, light floods the home throughout the day; the restored skylight brings warmth down to the updated common hall of the 2 upper rental units. Both rentals have been renovated with new kitchen appliances, paint, carpeting and fixtures.
Wonderfully located in Historic Prospect Heights, blocks away from Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Museum of Art and Grand Army Plaza. Easy access to transportation: B/Q at 7th Avenue, S at Park Place, and 2/3/4 at Brooklyn Eastern Parkway. Not to mention, a block away from Vanderbilt Ave-dubbed the best Open Streets experience in the city-home of Michelin-starred Olmsted, a new butcher, bakery, and sea food shop, as well as groceries and specialty food stores, and dense restaurants.
