According to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle the house dates to approximately 1865 and has been owned by only 3 families in its storied history. The most recent owner, Judge M. Henry Martuscello, a prominent Brooklynite and Appellate Division Supreme Court judge, undertook an extensive and meticulous mid-century renovation which has been pristinely maintained by his heirs. The large baths are a study in mid-century modern design and blend seamlessly with the more original elements of the home such as the original fireplace mantels, walnut hardwood floors, and original plaster walls in perfect condition.
A legal 2 family, in use as a single family, the house features a center staircase, four spacious bedrooms with warm suffused light and two and a half bathrooms. The main kitchen on the garden level is accompanied by a second butler's kitchen on the parlor level, a distinction of a more gracious time in history when at-home entertaining was a grand and formal affair. The garden level features a wood paneled mid-century bar and den waiting to be enjoyed with reruns of Mad Men and a martini, or transformed into a rental apartment, or just extra space for the grandparents. The kitchen on this level is enormous and the separate laundry room with skylight would make even Martha Stewart jealous.

- 4 spacious bedrooms with soaring ceilings (one bedroom is currently used as a library space)
- 2.5 bathrooms
- Private outdoor backyard and garden
- Walnut hardwood floors throughout
