A modernized Brooklyn<\/a> townhome located in the Boerum Hill<\/a> Historic District with gorgeous park-like private garden has just hit the market for $7.8 million.<\/p>\n

Built in the 1850s by William Alexander and James Hughes, the 4,400-square-foot brick residence<\/a> has been thoughtfully updated to preserve the home’s integrity while offering modern amenities.<\/p>\n

The property boasts a classic red brick facade and sits on an elegant street surrounded by equally traditional dwellings.<\/p>\n

Yet this is no traditional property, having undergone an extensive renovation that aimed to bring it back to its architectural heyday, while also injecting the home with a fresh, modern feel.<\/p>\n

“The renovation was a comprehensive, multiyear restoration that thoughtfully returned the house to its original single-family grandeur while introducing modern architectural elements and state-of-the-art systems,” said Carl Gambino<\/a>, who is co-listing the property with Marta Maletz, both of Compass.<\/p>\n

The 22-foot-wide structure retains its original 19th-century exterior, however the inside is a modern-day oasis, replete with top-of-the-line details.<\/p>\n

“The kitchen and baths were fully redesigned with high-end finishes, custom millwork, and marble surfaces, and the cellar level was finished to create additional living and recreational space,” Gambino noted.<\/p>\n

“The result is a seamless blend of 19th-century craftsmanship and modern sophistication.”<\/p>\n

A wide front entry with double doors opens up to the parlor level featuring a living area designed for entertaining with custom wood details and herringbone-patterned wood floors.<\/p>\n

The sun-soaked chef’s kitchen boasts marble countertops, an oversized center island, and a separate dining area with built-in banquette.<\/p>\n

Two sets of custom glass doors from the kitchen and dining area provide access to a terrace designed for alfresco dining that also overlooks the beautifully landscaped private backyard.<\/p>\n

One of the trilevel home’s most impressive features is the estate-inspired backyard surrounded by lush landscaping. (Kenneth Chen\/Evan Joseph Studios)<\/p>\n

An elegant curved staircase illuminated by an enormous skylight leads up to the home’s bedrooms.<\/p>\n

The lavish primary suite spans the entire third floor. This beautifully designed retreat features a dressing room, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom with soaking tub and dual sinks.<\/p>\n

Three more bedrooms and a central sitting room are located on the second floor.<\/p>\n

An additional guest suite can be found on the garden level along with a bonus room that could be transformed into a screening room, home office, or yoga studio.<\/p>\n

Also located on this level that opens up to the expansive backyard with custom glass and accordion-style doors are a fitness center, wine cellar, and laundry room.<\/p>\n

One of the trilevel home’s most impressive features is the estate-inspired backyard surrounded by lush landscaping.<\/p>\n

The outdoor area feels very much like a private oasis, one that is guarded by lush trees that surround the space, helping to transport guests out of the city.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, it’s for a discerning buyer who wants turnkey luxury in one of Brooklyn’s most established and convenient neighborhoods,” Maletz added. “We believe it will be used as a primary residence. The lot hasn’t been maxed out, so there is still room to build.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A modernized Brooklyn townhome located in the Boerum Hill Historic District with gorgeous park-like private garden has just…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[64628,64629,98,100,99,13654,64627,64631,9,24,63,64630,64626],"class_list":["post-156246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-boerum-hill-historic-district","tag-brick-facade","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-carl-gambino","tag-james-hughes","tag-marta-maletz","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-traditional-property","tag-william-alexander"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
