Comprising approximately 8,000 square feet on six levels, this residence designed by architect Thomas Bennett and built by Louis Bonert in 1900 was created to have the kind of scale and ceiling height in rooms for entertaining at the end of the Gilded Age. The mansion, dubbed the Brooklyn Embassy, has 6 bedrooms and 7 full bathrooms. Made into an 8 family home in 1948, the home can be comfortably converted back to a single family. The original plan of the architect is largely intact, and details in the rooms throughout were restored with meticulous attention to historical accuracy. The wrought iron double doors open to an entry hall which includes a manor fire place and massive center staircase culminating at the top floor which has panoramic views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. The jewel in the crown of this stunning home is the parlour floor with its paneled dining room which features a 12 foot wide fireplace, hand-painted vistas and stained glass that beautifully captures the afternoon light. The front parlour has a magnificent original inlaid parquet floor consisting of mahogany, oak, birch and cherry wood and a rosette coffered ceiling. The elevator comfortably accommodates 3 people. The limestone is located on the west side of what used to be a parade route in the heart of the Park Slope Historic District, one block from Prospect Park.
