Tompkins Pl

Mint townhouse on one of Cobble Hill's sought-after, one-block "Place" streets, near Union Market, the movie theater, and Court Street restaurants, but a quiet world away. This very polished and flexible home offers four floors including an English basement so artfully finished it integrates seamlessly into the living space. The feeling in this elegant home is of generously proportioned spaces, high ceilings and light flooding in from full-length windows front and back. Its flexible configuration allows for three or four bedrooms, with 3 beautiful, custom baths. Standout features include the open, marble-countered kitchen with blue-and-white chevron backsplash tiles, a suite of top-end appliances from Viking, Miele, and Sub-Zero, and a built-in speaker system. The kitchen door opens onto a deck overlooking the garden. The home's graceful center-stair layout allows the impressive parlor floor living room, with wood-burning fireplace, to stretch the full width of the building. Though it retains charming, hard-to-replace 19th-Century Cobble Hill touches like acanthus moldings and plaster ceiling medallions, the interior is clean-lined and light, and the mechanicals - including two-zone central air - are very 2018. Fall asleep on a summer afternoon to the sound of birdsong and a splashing fountain in the landscaped, private garden out back.
