456 14th St

A classic Park Block, two-family brownstone, 20 feet wide and brimming with original details. On a coveted, tree-lined street, this gracious home has grand proportions, a south-facing garden as well as a desirable parlor-level kitchen and updated garden rental.

The elegant parlor level features beautifully preserved inlaid floors, a gorgeous fireplace mantle, fretwork, pocket doors, window shutters and cove moldings at the exceptionally high ceilings. The welcoming foyer still has the original mosaic tiles as well as the classic newel post and stairs. Open to the living space for ease of living and entertaining, the generous eat-in kitchen is extra sunny and leads to a large south-facing deck. Steps lead down to the expansive garden with mature trees. The parlor floor also has a large pantry closet and a full, windowed bath.

Illuminated by a colorful skylight overhead, the stairs lead up to four good-sized bedrooms, which are well divided for privacy. The central, marble bath has a large tub and its own bright skylight, as well as two large closets providing abundant storage options.

The garden level is currently configured as an income-producing, one-bedroom rental; but could be seamlessly incorporated with the upper floors to recreate a grand, single-family home. The main room features original pine floors, wood-paneled walls, working window shutters, and a beautiful fireplace mantle. A large eat-in kitchen and tiled bathroom look out onto the garden. Featuring high ceilings, the basement provides extra storage and houses mechanicals.

Conveniently located one block from Prospect Park, the weekend farmers market, and within two blocks of the many shops, restaurants and conveniences of Prospect Park West and 7th Avenue, as well as the F/G trains, this home is the one you've been waiting for.
