1899 Park Slope brownstone mansion in Brooklyn, NY has 6bds, 3.5ba, 4,100 sq ft. $4.195m.
This home has incredibly detailed woodwork that's going to need a good cleaning. The large entrance hall reflects the size of the home. I can't say that I like the orange walls and gray trim, but that's easily fixed.
The main sitting room is an awkward shape. It's so long and narrow, but the owners have all of the furniture against the walls, which doesn't do it any favors. No matter how narrow the room is, you've still got to float some of the pieces to fill the center. Look at the huge doorway moldings, though.
The dining room is magnificent with it's fireplace and incredible built-in cabinets. Look at the door and transom- it's huge. Love the chandelier, too. This room needs some decor and it will look crazy elegant.
Isn't this the best kitchen ever? It's just about original. No walls were removed, it still retains it's basic footprint. Look at the stained glass windows and the glass window in the original door.
The small powder room is disappointing. The sink is terrible. It needs some cute Victorian decor.
The bedrooms are all very large. They've got original woodwork and fireplaces.
Example of the tile and wood on one of the fireplaces. Even the firebox looks original.
What a vintage bath. This is amazing.
It's the en-suite for the large sunny children's room. Love the fireplace.
Usually, Victorian nurseries are small rooms, but this one is fairly larger than most.
Here's another bath that combines vintage and modern. I'm surprised that there are only 3.5 baths in this huge house. It amounts to 1 per floor.
Here's another lovely bedroom. They all get wonderful sunlight.
But, this suite is the coolest one, especially if you're an artist. It has skylights for great natural light and a huge studio.
The studio is actually 2 rooms and has this big wall of storage.
Plus, there's this nicely done shower room.
And, this is a large one bedroom apt., complete with it's own kitchen.
This small back porch is used as a home office.
If the new owner would like a finished basement, this one would make a great rathskeller.
There's a small garden out back, which is always a bonus in the city.
