1286 President St, Brooklyn, NY 11213

A truly elegant, four-story semi-detached townhome situated on a stunning tree-lined street surrounded by stately homes. This majestic six-bedroom, four-bathroom residence was recently restored to its turn-of-the-century splendor. Beautiful original moldings, wainscoting, fireplaces and built-in cabinetry have been refurbished to their original glory throughout the home, but the true focal point is the unique three-story solarium that floods every level with light and warmth. Upon entering the magnificent parlor floor, the stunning original stone fireplace and grand staircase hint at the grandeur to be found throughout the home. This elegance is further illustrated by the dining room with its rich wallpaper, intricately designed ceiling, textured draping and original restored wood paneled floor. The completely modernized kitchen was built for entertaining on a scale befitting the nature of the residence. Sub-Zero refrigerator, dual ovens, plus secondary sinks and Viking ranges set on a massive white Carrera-marble island provide ample room for prepping and cooking while sunlight from the solarium floods the space. Step down from the kitchen to enter a delightful, sun-filled breakfast room leading to the utterly private 25-foot by 35-foot back patio. In addition to the main staircase, a private second staircase leads you from the kitchen to the third floor. On this level you'll find the spectacular library/den. Here, a wall of windows sends sunlight beaming off luxe gold wallpaper, rich cabinetry and an opulent crystal chandelier. Bedrooms are generously sized and well-appointed throughout the home. The largest third-floor bedroom features an original working fireplace, while the grand fourth-floor master suite is outfitted with three large closets and a private 250-square-foot terrace. Bathrooms are luxuriously finished with rich marble, top-of-the-line fixtures and gleaming floor-to-ceiling tile. On the basement level, you'll find a full private guest suite, roomy laundry facilities - with two sets of washers/dryers - and large rec room/playroom space. The neighborhood offers all the best Brooklyn has to offer. Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Children's Museum are mere blocks away. The home is located just steps away from the 2/3 and 4/5 subway lines and less than a mile from the Nostrand Avenue LIRR station, putting all of New York City and Long Island within easy reach.
