Property Description
On the parlor floor original architectural details abound featuring parquetry hardwood floors, plaster crown moldings with inset ceiling moldings and ornate ceiling medallions. Wood door and window trim remain intact along with the original shutters framing the focal point of the room — the large curved picture window looking out on to pretty Bainbridge Street.
Downstairs on the garden floor, original parquetry hardwood remains but the level has been largely modernized featuring a large chefs kitchen with granite counter tops, contemporary wood cabinets and appliances. An exposed brick wood-burning fireplace defines the space adding warmth and historic charm. The rear of the kitchen leads out to a large enclosed south-facing sunroom that bathes the kitchen in light. With passive solar heating it can be summer all year long! Step outside into the pretty rear garden with forsythia and rhododendron among other plantings. The recently renovated full bath with marble counters and subway tile is townhouse-classic.
The third floor rental apartment retains the original parquetry floors, plaster moldings, wood trim and shutters. Light and bright, there is a large exposed brick wall with a decorative fireplace in the living room and an upgraded kitchen and bath.
This block of Bainbridge Street is a stones throw (less than 2 mins) from the express A/C trains (Utica station) at Stuyvesant Avenue. You'll exhale and smile each time you leave the subway to walk through pretty Fulton Park and Stuyvesant Ave on your way home. Enjoy nearby establishments on Lewis Ave and Malcolm X Blvd such as Peaches, Saraghina, Bar LunAtico, Nana Ramen, Chez Oscar, Halsey Traders, Trad Room, Milk & Pull, Leziza, Brooklyn Tea, Secret Garden and much much more.
Perhaps best simply said by the original 1889 advertisement, "Three of the nicest 2 story and basement houses in Brooklyn, having unique brownstone fronts and in a charming neighborhood; they cannot fail to please you..."
