Description
Of note is that Chappell’s original floorplan remains largely intact. Upon entering on the Parlor Floor, one is greeted by Victorian-era Lincrusta, embossed, hand-painted wallpaper which carries all the way up the grand mahogany staircase and down to the Garden level. To the right is the dramatic 29-foot-long living room with a bay window. Your eyes are immediately drawn upward to an incredible original walnut coffered ceiling, the likeness of which you will rarely see in a Brooklyn townhouse. Other features include gold painted original wall moldings and an ornate original mahogany fireplace clad with Minton-style hand painted tiles. The living room connects to a formal dining room which features lovely garden views. Extensive millwork continues into this room, which is centered by an original hutch with built-in shelving, connected to modern times with a toile “Urban Chaos” wallpaper scene.
The Garden Floor offers an additional large sitting/media room connected to a spacious eat-in kitchen. Terra cotta brick radiant heated floors and exposed original wooden beams pair with brass accents to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The fully equipped eat-in kitchen has soapstone countertops, an island clad in brass, a Five Star professional six burner range with a griddle and double oven, and a Bosch dishwasher. There is a full wall of enclosed storage and open backlit shelving, a large separate pantry, and a wet bar with a convenient pass-through to the garden. The Nana-wall door to the garden folds away creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow, perfect for entertaining. A 139-year old pear tree (still bearing fruit!) is center stage in this stately garden. Downstairs, a 32-foot-long finished Cellar features original exposed brick arches, original stone walls, original ceiling wooden beams, polished concrete radiant heat flooring, a full size brass counter-top wet bar and half bath.
The Third and Fourth Floors contain a total of four bedrooms, a home office, and four bathrooms. The primary bedroom is located on the Third Floor and features treetop views from its bay window onto Arlington Place. Colorful restored original stained glass windows and custom tiling on the fireplace mantle bring this charming room to life. The en-suite bathroom features cumaru water resistant wood and hand-painted mosaic tiles. Each of the three additional bedrooms easily accommodate a queen or king sized bed. Secondary bathrooms on each floor feature radiant heated flooring and original restored cast iron tubs as well as original detail border tiles. A stacked Bosch washer and dryer is tucked away on the Fourth Floor. There is a custom stair traversing up to the roof deck which is irrigated and features amazing Brooklyn views.
7 Arlington was recently fully restored with great care and consideration. Original restored brass and bronze door hardware, stained glass windows, fireplace tiles, wooden beams, wood floors and shutters on each floor will transport you to another era of hand-made exquisite custom craftsmanship. The roof has been reinforced and resealed, all windows were replaced, and the entire brick façade and Cellar arches were repointed. All electrical wiring and plumbing was replaced during the restoration and a new boiler was installed in 2015.
