Timeless sophistication meets modern luxury
Magnificent in both its grand proportions and elegant contemporary style, this stately neo-colonial manor represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a landmark Brooklyn property in the historic district of Prospect Park South.
This superb residence was originally built in 1907 by Hobart A. Walker, and has been sympathetically restored, extended and upgraded for an exceptional living experience, with a substantial 4-story floorplan, including a finished basement level.
The beautifully landscaped grounds and neo-Georgian entrance with portico and Doric columns make an impressive introduction, and set the scene for what lies beyond. This home is perfect for all types of entertaining and features flowing formal and casual living spaces adorned with high ceilings, leadlight windows, hardwood floors, and two wood-burning fireplaces. The kitchen serves as a focal point for family gatherings, featuring a large island breakfast counter, and high-end appliances.
