Stepping off the A train, you're not just walking into any Brooklyn brownstone; you're entering a slice of New York history on one of Stuyvesant Heights’ most cherished blocks. Awarded for its verdant charm, this neighborhood boasts a residence that exemplifies the grandeur of late 19th-century architecture. The chateauesque-style limestone facade, crafted by the hands of historic developer Daniel Brooks Norris, presents a stately welcome with its intricate foliated carvings, delicate colonnettes, and sculpted familial crests.

Built in 1892, this four-story, dual-family home reverently preserves the grandiose lifestyle of its era. Beyond the ornate entryway, the home unfolds like a period novel, each room a chapter dense with narrative—original carved doors that whisper tales of gatherings, the mirrored pier standing guard in the parlor, and fireplaces that have crackled through countless winters. Stained glass windows paint the interiors with colored light, and wainscoting lines the walls with the craftsmanship of yesteryears. This property doesn’t just offer a living space; it bestows a piece of artistry to be lived in and appreciated.
