All moldings and doors in the home were painted on site with lacquer paint, a detail rarely seen in Brownstone Brooklyn construction.

And best of all, drop off your groceries at your house and park your car in your own private parking space a few doors away from the home.
Truly, everything you could ask for.
Please note, there is a monthly common charge of $16.08 for the parking space.
