545 3rd St, New York City, NY, 11215

<p><span>Only three owners have occupied this classic c.1899 triple-bay, four-story brownstone on Park Slope's coveted Third Street. The current owners have honored much of its 19^th c. detail --</span><span></span><span>pocket doors, wainscoting, cabinetry, stained-glass panels and skylights --</span><span>and meticulously restored and renovated it to exacting 21^st-c. standards.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Enter the home either up its sweeping stoop or at garden level. The first floor hosts an extra-wide entry hall; and an elegant front-facing dining room with built-in cabinetry and carved wood mantel, with</span>William Yeoward English<span>wallcovering as adornment</span><span>. Host a large dinner party or holiday meal: neither is too large for this room to graciously accommodate.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>The garden-facing eat-in chef's kitchen is a bespoke Eggersmann design. An oversized waterfall island is clad in book-matched granite and has a set-in copper bar sink, floor to ceiling cabinetry and a cast-concrete floor. Appliances are top tier: a 48-in. SubZero fridge; six-burner Wolf stove; Bosch electric oven, microwave, and warming drawer; and a Miele dishwasher. The ledgestone backsplash leads outside through a wall of glass creating a beautifully integrated design. The landscaped garden, accessed through French doors, is serene and replete with gas grill and planting beds.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>The laundry/mud room is spacious: folding, ironing, hand washing and prep for gardening can all take place here. The powder room features Art Nouveau tile in neutral tones and is privately tucked away here.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>The parlor floor, with soaring 12-ft. ceilings, features a formal front living room, middle parlor or den, and back office. The grand living room is illuminated by a bay of south-facing windows and ornamented with elegant hand-painted Gracie wallcoverings and an oversized mantel. The den, a handsome companion to the living room, is papered in horsehair and features a wet bar, illuminated leaded-glass cabinetry and a gas fireplace. The cozy private office overlooks the garden and has plenty of space for desk, bookshelves and storage.</span></p><p><span>The third floor is host to the primary bedroom, </span><span>paneled in Jim Thomspon silk with matching drapery</span><span> and lit by a triple bay plus a fourth window. The decorative fireplace has a gilded overmantel. The expansive primary bath has been fashioned with a double marble vanity, step-in shower, Roman bath and private toilet. One entire wall is dedicated to three wide closets concealed by sliding panels. The rear-facing bedroom could also function beautifully as a study, boasts a working gas fireplace, and leads to a 150 sf deck, which overlooks the garden.</span></p><p><span>The fourth floor is host to yet another enormous front-facing bedroom with an en suite bath featuring a green resin vanity, tub and shower, sklylight, exposed brick and built-in storage. The rear bedroom has another wood mantel with a cast-iron fireback, a wall of closets and a bathroom accessed either privately or from the hall. An intricate stained-glass skylight and linen closet are located at the landing.</span></p><p><span>From its restored original detail, which proves 19^th century craftsmanship is enduring, to its sophisticated upgrades and fine decoration, 545 Third Street is the perfect example of why Park Slope is a renowned destination neighborhood.</span></p>
