Situated on one of the neighborhood’s iconic brownstone blocks, this pale stone house at 8 Polhemus Place gets plenty of looks for its pale yellow stone facade and gracefully rounded windows. With three exposures, it’s nearly free-standing, getting plenty of light within. Asking $6,000,000, the single-family home has retained most of its historic details, while the latest modern updates make it a covetable Brooklyn home.
The four-bedroom single-family home has a private garden in the back and plenty of living and entertaining space within. New additions include radiant heat in the bathrooms, streamlined radiators, WiFi wiring, a new split HVAC system on every floor, and an updated roof.
In traditional townhouse style, the parlor is a showcase of historic architecture, accented by original stained glass and millwork, lit from above by new recessed lighting. The sunlight-filled living room is on this floor, along with a unique round dining room wrapped in glass-fronted custom cabinetry. Perfectly fitted into the rear extension, a sleek, European-style kitchen provides effortless service.
The garden level offers plenty of storage and flexible space. At the back, a cozy lounge opens onto the fenced private garden.
The bedrooms occupy the top two floors. Each has been completely renovated with new flooring, plumbing, and electrical while original details have been preserved. The primary suite has an impressive dressing room, and there’s a separate office/study.
The home’s graceful facade includes a decorative Juliet balcony above a bay window, with an antique gas lamp standing sentry behind a wrought iron front gate. The landmarked block of Polhemus Place represents the epitome of Park Slope living, just three blocks from Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza.
