79 St Marks Avenue

Behind the reserved facade of this 1910 brownstone in a wonderful Park Slope location with it's Depression Modern vestibule, one is truly amazed upon seeing the glass & steel extension, a wonderful marriage of industrial chic with the original townhouse charm. When entering you are greeted by a warm and comfortable den with wood burning fireplace in this truly special home. Stepping down into the kitchen of dreams which features gorgeous built in storage, tons of counter space, floating Henry Built cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances from Gaggenau and Sub-Zero, with plenty of room for an oversized dining table. Floor to ceiling glass doors open to the sky-lit glass extension with the landscaped garden beyond, a tranquil escape from city living. Additional features of the unit include central AC, underfloor heating in the extension and 9" wide solid wood floors. A spa-like bath, washer/dryer and wall of Poliform closets in the bedroom complete this home. The renovation of this floor was done so it could be seamlessly and easily combined with the second floor unit to create a 2,200 square foot duplex. The second floor rental apartment, a one bedroom with a lovely living room, renovated eat-in kitchen and home office nook, and the top floor unit, a beautifully renovated two bedroom, can provide almost 75K a year income. Delivered vacant. Leave as is, create an owner's duplex, or transform into a 3,000sf private home, this spectacular townhouse with additional FAR is a wonderful opportunity. Centrally located near the Barclays Center, Prospect Park, BAM, the shops and restaurants of Fifth Avenue and access to a multitude of transportation options, this home is truly an original in the center of Brooklyn living.
