Welcome home to one of Park Slope's most distinguished and enchanting residences: a fully renovated, Neo-Italian Renaissance limestone townhouse that artfully blends classic charm with modern luxury.

From the moment you step onto the three-sided bayfront facade with its restored limestone and detailed stoop, you know you've found something special. Inside, soaring ten-foot ceilings, ornate plaster moldings, original pocket doors, and wainscoting evoke the sophisticated grandeur of a bygone era; all complemented by a sweeping, light-filled foyer and a graceful, windowed staircase that invites you deeper into the home.

The heart of the home, the kitchen and dining space, is nothing short of breathtaking. Fully custom cabinetry (including a generous pantry), Silestone countertops, Carrara marble backsplash, a six-burner Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and Bosch dishwasher join forces with a walnut-and-Carrara marble center island and a mirrored bar alcove to create a culinary space worthy of entertaining or family gatherings. A formal dining area easily accommodates eight or more, while a deck with gas grill hookups leads down to a professionally landscaped garden, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. 

Upstairs, the second floor unveils a serene master suite beneath an oversized skylight. This serene sanctuary includes a bay-windowed bedroom, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like en-suite bath featuring a freestanding cast-iron soaking tub beneath the skylight, double vanities, and a rain-shower enclosure. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a skylit full bath complete the upper level.

Downstairs, the garden-level offers a versatile and inviting space, perfect for a home office, study, library, den or family room - complete with restored wainscoting, built-in glass cabinetry, decorative fireplace mantle, and a wet bar. A full bath and laundry/mudroom with easy exterior access make this level ideal for guests or flexible living. The full-length basement adds generous storage while housing the home's mechanical systems.

No detail has been overlooked. The home has been fully modernized with new plumbing and electrical, radiant floor heating in all full baths, five-zone central heat and air, double-paned windows, custom oak flooring, Hunter Douglas treatments, and a new roof marrying historic grandeur with 21st-century comfort and convenience.

All this, and you're just a short stroll from 526 acres of greenery, recreation, and serenity at Prospect Park; just steps from the restaurants, boutiques, cafés, schools, and community vibrancy that define Park Slope.

This is more than a home, it is a rare and immersive living experience that brings together history, elegance, comfort, and neighborhood charm.
