40 St Marks Avenue

This home is like no other you have seen! Not a single detail was overlooked in the stunning renovation of this North Slope townhouse. On the parlor floor, with soaring 10 foot ceilings, oak flooring, and a wall of windows overlooking the secluded and serene, Ipe-enclosed patio, you'll find the living room, dining room, kitchen and half bath. The living room features a beautiful wood-burning fireplace with marble mantel, floor-to ceiling custom bookshelves and custom millwork which cleverly disguise a coat closet and entertainment center. The classic dining room also has a lovely marble mantel and leads into the large Chef?s kitchen which features custom-designed walnut cabinetry, Italian limestone countertops, Bosch dishwasher, Wolf cooktop, Sub Zero refrigerator, and Gaggenau double-oven. On the second floor of the house you?ll find a full-bath and two spacious bedrooms . Off the rear bedroom, which has a gorgeous black slate decorative fireplace, is a charming deck overlooking the verdant neighboring gardens. The front bedroom has two generous closets, three oversized windows, and a decorative fireplace. The third floor is currently used as an enormous master suite with a wood-burning fireplace, two skylights, bamboo flooring, and a large study/dressing room with custom built-in closets. The five-piece master bath is the epitome of luxury with an extra-deep Kohler cast iron whirlpool tub, custom Wenge cabinetry, marble flooring, and Italian ceramic tile. In the fully-finished English basement you'll find the cozy den, tons of additional storage, a Kenmore Elite front-loading washer and dryer, and an additional pantry and refrigerator. The house also boasts new windows and pocket shutters, baseboard and crown moldings, and zoned central air throughout. Each detail of this home was perfectly curated from the door hardware to the light fixtures, all of which make this home feel likes it?s been lifted off the pages of House Beautiful. A legal two-family, the house is currently configured as a single family home. Best of all, the house is just a few blocks from Prospect Park, a short walk to all the trains at Atlantic Avenue, and around the corner from the restaurants and shops of 5th Avenue.
