\n\tIf you\u2019ve ever strolled down Washington Avenue in Brooklyn<\/a>\u2019s Clinton Hill, chances are you\u2019ve stopped to admire one of the neighborhood\u2019s most jaw-dropping homes: the so-called Pfizer Mansion. And if you\u2019ve been secretly dreaming of owning it, good news<\/a>: it\u2019s back on the market.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe grand Queen Anne\u2013style brownstone listed for $10.35 million in March, but has returned to the market with a friendlier price tag of $9.4 million<\/a>, represented by Jessica Buchman and her team at Corcoran.<\/p>\n

\n\tBuilt in 1887 for Charles Erhart, co-founder of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and brother-in-law to Charles Pfizer himself, the mansion has lived many lives since the Gilded Age<\/a>. It was originally home to Erhart\u2019s daughter, later served as an annex for the Brooklyn Public Library, and then became a Catholic girls\u2019 school. It was also home base for rock musician Legion Davies of Killing Joke fame throughout the \u201990s.<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the past decade, the current owners have gone all in on a top-to-bottom restoration that feels like a love letter to the home\u2019s craftsmanship. We\u2019re talking original plaster moldings, intricate woodwork, inlaid floors, stained and leaded glass windows, and even a working Otis elevator from the 19th century.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd then there are the surprises: a sunken speakeasy tucked behind a storage area, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a few bathrooms wrapped in hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper\u2014because of course there are.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpanning roughly 10,000 square feet across five stories, the home offers seven bedrooms, six full baths, and a handful of half baths. The parlor level, which stretches about 105 feet deep, features grand entertaining rooms, a sitting parlor, and a chef\u2019s kitchen housed in a curved glass addition with a custom copper roof. Upstairs, the primary suite takes over the second floor, with a walk-in closet, a library, and a bath.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe property\u2019s rare double lot means there\u2019s actual outdoor space: a lush private garden designed by Rees Roberts + Partners, with mature trees, a wisteria-covered pergola, and room to breathe. There\u2019s even private parking, plus \u00a0Landmark Preservation Committee-approved plans for a carriage house-style garage designed by architect Kelly Murdock Solon.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor design buffs, the details are endless: eight fireplaces, restored stained glass, reinstated inlaid floors, and an energy-efficient mechanical system discreetly tucked behind all that Gilded Age grandeur. The Pfizer Mansion last made headlines in 2021, when it sold for $9.05 million<\/a>, setting a record for Clinton Hill.<\/p>\n
