198 Washington Park
Description
As soon as you walk through the parlor entrance you are struck by the grandiose proportions of the central staircase, the soaring 15-foot ceilings, and the enormous parlors – there are three of them....198 Washington Park presents a golden opportunity to own a magnificent Gilded Age mansion and update it for the modern age. A 33-foot wide, 8,500 square foot brownstone right on Fort Greene Park, 198 Washington Park offers almost unimaginable space and luxury in Fort Greene’s most desirable location.
As soon as you walk through the parlor entrance you are struck by the grandiose proportions of the central staircase, the soaring 15-foot ceilings, and the enormous parlors – there are three of them. Original details, particularly the multiple fireplace mantles (there are a dozen fireplaces!), well-preserved wooden door frames, the built-in mirrors and exquisite banisters harken back to the Golden Age of brownstone construction, at the peak of the Italianate and Greek revival building periods in what was then Brooklyn’s wealthiest neighborhood. This home has eleven bedrooms and five bathrooms. And then there is the garden, nearly 1,000 square feet of it; to call this outdoor space an oasis would be an understatement. The 2,000+ square foot cellar is so large that it could host a lap pool, extensive gym, media center, and a wine cellar – together.
Properties like 198 Washington Park come along rarely, certainly only once in decades, and perhaps once in a lifetime. Presently configured as a two family home this majestic brownstone can easily be converted to a single family residence. Bring your architect or designer- you will discover that the possibilities, your possibilities, are truly endless.
