On a tree-lined block in the Park Slope Historic District, the 23-foot-wide townhouse at 7 Saint Marks Avenue is recognizable by its dramatic brick façade accented with Gothic arch detailing. Built in 1872, the property served as the rectory for the former St. Augustine’s Church. Asking $6,750,000, the 4,400-square-foot residence boasts interiors that are as architecturally exquisite as its exterior. The two-unit home also has a landscaped back garden and a finished roof deck.
Currently set up as an owner’s triplex with a two-bedroom garden apartment below, the home has been completely renovated with its original architectural character restored.
The home’s infrastructure has been upgraded to modern standards with all-new mechanical systems, including an advanced heat pump system for central heating and cooling. Custom storage integrated throughout makes full use of the space.
Period-specific details like Gothic pointed-arch windows, three working marble fireplaces, and a dramatic entryway frame tasteful contemporary upgrades. At the home’s center is a restored walnut stair.
A sophisticated kitchen combines design and purpose. Custom cabinetry and a built-in pantry frame premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Miele induction oven.
A custom desk tucked into a tidy wall space makes a mini-office just off the kitchen. At the back, a large terrace leads to the home’s private garden.
The home’s top floor offers the generous surprise of a wet bar. A private roof deck with dramatic Brooklyn and Manhattan skyline views makes this a perfect space for entertaining.
At street level, a sunny garden flat offers two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. This spacious apartment has the same classic details and top-quality finishes found throughout the home. A full cellar has high ceilings, making it perfect for recreation or storage.
A unique facade features a restored Italianate cornice, accented with Gothic arch detailing; a classic, hefty Italianate stoop is a suitably grand welcome to the home.
