294 Park Place
Description
Brimming with prewar details,...On a gorgeous, leafy street in prime Prospect Heights, 294 Park Pl stands proud. This meticulously renovated and maintained single family townhouse is on the market for the first time in over 30 years, and is move-in ready for its next owners. Every inch of historic detail has been preserved and restored yet enveloped by a 21st century structure. The 2008-9 renovation replaced every wire, pipe and mechanical system in the house and added 5-zone central air conditioning.
Brimming with prewar details, the house was actually gut renovated in 2008-2009 and painstakingly pieced back together by local artisans to provide modern comforts without sacrificing the home’s historic beauty. Original parquet floors were refinished and supplemented with new floors where needed, but you could never tell where new materials were introduced. All woodwork, from the unique stacked wainscoting to the filigreed transoms, were fully refinished. All stained glass windows and doors were fully restored. Plaster walls and decorative detail are pristine. The dumbwaiter from the kitchen to the formal dining room was also restored, The six fireplaces have all been relined and currently operate as gas. Insulated mahogany windows were installed throughout. Even the stairs were reinforced with cables to increase stability and eliminate creaks – a rarity in these historic homes!
The original two-floor 65ft extension brings this 5 bedroom, 3 and two half bathrooms home to an impressive 4,200 sqft, not including the fully finished basement containing a wine cellar, rec room, secondary laundry room, and a storage room.
The garden floor is set up as a gardener and cook’s dream. The extra deep 131ft lot means that even with the extension, the garden at 294 Park Pl offers ample space for entertaining and landscaping, kept vibrant via the front and rear-yard watering systems. There is an industrial grade built-in Viking gas grill in the side garden, with rotisserie and infrared sear zones. The renovated chef’s kitchen is generously sized and appointed with high end appliances: Viking-Pro range, TurboChef double wall oven including a speed-cook oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a water filtration system with supplemental reverse osmosis (no more bottled water required!) Between the kitchen and garden is a charming breakfast room with a built-in banquette. The sliding glass doors and windows to the garden were all installed with ultra-hurricane glass, eliminating the need for storm shutters or security bars.
Above the garden level is the parlor floor, with front, center and rear parlors replete in stunning prewar detail. The five bedrooms are all on the top two floors; four of the bedrooms are king-sized, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and ½ bath. On the top floor are two oversized bedrooms with their own ensuite full bathrooms, a small bedroom/office, and a laundry room. All of the spa-like bathrooms throughout the home have been tastefully updated with radiant heat floors and high end fixtures.
294 Park Place is conveniently located in the heart of vibrant Prospect Heights, close to Vanderbilt Ave’s premier shops and restaurants. Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, and the Brooklyn Public Library are all at your fingertips. The 2/3/B/Q subway lines are readily accessible, including the newly updated Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum stop with elevators.
