Light floods into this circa-1870s Italianate house at 92 Bergen Street in Boerum Hill, thanks to a rear wall of glass, an oversize skylight over the stair, and a double height family room.

The brick and brownstone facade and exterior ironwork have been restored, as have the home’s interior historic details. These include floor-to-ceiling parlor windows, original Italianate marble mantels, and an arch and corbels with foliate plaster details on the parlor floor.

One of the fireplaces is wood burning. In the rear, the kitchen has a large island, custom millwork, Calacatta Gold marble counters, a 48-inch-wide Wolf range, an integrated Sub-Zero fridge and a Miele dishwasher. A deck off the kitchen leads down to the garden.

The garden floor has been transformed with 14-foot wall of windows and a balcony that opens up to a family room with a double-height ceiling and a bar and kitchenette. In the front of the garden floor is a guest suite with its own entrance.

A master suite occupies the entire third floor of the home; it has a private patio overlooking the yard, a sitting room, and a marble bathroom with custom millwork. The top floor of the house has three more bedrooms and two baths.

The 5,000-square-foot home is set up as single-family with a guest suite occupying part of the garden floor.

There are white oak wide-plank floors throughout the home. In addition to a high-efficiency York 5 zoned heating and cooling system, the house has a “smart home” system that controls security, climate, video, audio, and the window shades.

The townhouse is one block from the F/G trains at Bergen Street and close to shops and restaurants on Smith Street.

Listed by Alexander Maroni and Gregory Williamson of Douglas Elliman, it is asking $6.995 million.
