226 Lincoln Pl

Welcome to a complete renovation and reimagining of the classic Park Slope brownstone. Guided by architects Delson or Sherman, and executed by Tatra Renovations, every detail has been restored, replaced, or improved. With four outdoor spaces, 226 Lincoln Place combines stunning interior detail with seamless indoor/outdoor living. The gracious stoop leads to a parlor floor, ingeniously reconfigured to suit the modern entertainer’s needs. Above are three floors of bedrooms, living spaces, distinctly styled bathrooms, and spacious terraces. From the garden level, a separate entrance leads to a fully outfitted studio apartment and a sun-dappled home office, bar, and sunroom, all opened to a serene, manicured garden. The finished basement leads to a fabulous surprise: a media room and Tuscan wine cellar. The parlor floor is open and welcoming, with formal seating in the bay window in front, a dining room in the center, and a fabulous open kitchen at the rear. A premium LaCanche stove, stylish banquette, original woodworked pantry, and restored herringbone hardwood floors make this kitchen the heart of the home. A wall of wrought iron and glass windows and doors overlooks the garden; southern light floods in. A deck off the kitchen provides easy indoor/outdoor dining and relaxing. Throughout the parlor floor, delicate original woodwork and plastering has been preserved, integrated with modern colors and lighting. Above the parlor is a master bedroom floor with bedroom, bath, walk-in closet, bonus room/home gym, laundry room, and a Moroccan-tiled powder room. The oversized bedroom provides extra room for a chic sitting area. In keeping with the design aesthetic, original details like parquet floors, mantels, and shutters have been restored. Added to the original layout is a luxurious walk-in closet and en-suite bath with a double sink and walk-in shower. The floor above has two extra large bedrooms with walk-in closets, one smaller bedroom, a full bath with a standing shower, and additional hallway closet space. The top floor is a wonderful surprise. There is a huge family room, which leads to a delightful deck. To make for easy entertaining, this floor has a gorgeous wet bar. The full bath on this floor is designed for a luxurious soak in a clawfoot tub. There is an additional bedroom, currently used as a work and exercise space. The terrace off of the family room has stairs leading to the fourth outdoor space: a massive roof deck showcasing sweeping city views in all directions. Below the parlor floor, the garden level is another perfectly-designed space. In the front of the house is a complete studio apartment with its own full bath and kitchen. This studio can serve many purposes, from in-law home to au pair suite. At the rear is a large office/lounge with a wall of windows and a sun room in a small extension leading to the garden. And there is more! The basement has been beautifully arranged to offer a media room and the loveliest wine cellar in Brooklyn. The wine cellar incorporates original brick arches and provides a tasting space as well as temperature- and humidity-controlled storage. All the building mechanicals are in separate rooms on this level, except the AC compressors, which are on the roof. There is an additional laundry room in the basement. Rarely is it possible to describe a home as completely renovated or better designed, but we can confidently state that about 226 Lincoln Pl. All new plumbing and electric service, modern HVAC, new highly efficient windows, and a new roof exemplify the quality of work carried out at 226 Lincoln.
