Grand colonial revival in the heart of Brooklyn's most elegant neighborhood at the corner of Abemarle and Westminster. This wonderful 6 bedroom 4 bath landmarked home was first built in 1908 by a couple who wanted a residence where they could entertain both their family and high society.

Original details such as the crystal chandeliers and gorgeous beaux arts fireplace are only topped by the William Morris wallpaper throughout. There's an eat-in kitchen and a half bath on this floor as well.The second floor features a grand master bedroom, a sunroom and a second and third bedroom (with a private terrace). It's worth noting that the master bath's pewter spa needle shower with side sprays was the first of its kind and now serves as the basis for all modern high-end waterworks.

The oversized baths are of the original porcelain and include the original decorative tile all part of this home's many treasures. The wine cellar in the basement naturally maintains a temperature of 55 degrees. And the downstairs bath features the original ball and clawfoot tub. Although the house's best feature may be the number of windows overlooking adjacent gardens and the stunning light that shines throughout. The original leaded and stained-glass windows are complemented by the many extra-large double glass ones. The acre corner lot holds the original two-car garage with chauffeur's loft and sits right across from the President of Brooklyn College's mansion. The fact that this house has only changed hands three times in its history proves what a rare find it really is.

GRAND COLONIAL HOME

Grand colonial revival in the heart of Brooklyn's most elegant neighborhood
at the corner of Abermale and Westminster. This wonderful 6 bedroom, 4.5 bath
landmarked home was first built in 1907 by a couple who wanted a residence
where they could entertain both their family and high society.
Consequently, this gracious house features a dramatic wide
open first floor that leads from the sun room at one end of the house to the
massive dining room at the other. Original details such as the crystal
chandeliers and gorgeous fireplace are only topped by the William Morris
wallpaper throughout. There's an eat-in-kitchen and a half bath on this
floor as wel.

The second floor features a grand master bedroom, a sunroom and a second
and third bedroom (with a private terrace). It's worth noting that the master
bath's pewter spa needle shower with side sprays was the first of its kind and
now serves as the basis for all modern high-end waterworks.
Wander up the third floor and find an additional two bedrooms, a library, and
delightful old-fashoined billiards game room (with working fireplace). The
upstairs bathrooms also all have the original crystal and pewter towel racks,
sinks, sconces and beveled mirrored cabinets. The oversized baths are of
the original porcelain and include the original decorative tile - all part of
this home's many treasures.

The wine cellar in the basement naturally maintains a temperature of 55
degrees. And the downstairs bath features the original ball and clawfoot
tub. Although the house's best feature may be the number of windows
overlooking adjacent gardens and the stunning light that shines throughout.
The original leaded and stained-glass windows are complimented by the
many extra large double glass ones. The 1/4 acre corner lot holds the
original two-car garage with chauffeur's loft and sits right across from
the President of Brooklyn College's mansion. The fact that this house
has only changed hands three times in its history proves what a rare
find it really is
