Prospect Heights c.1897, 19 Foot Wide, Historic Renaissance Revival, Limestone Townhouse. Four stories, three families, designed by noted Brooklyn developer turned NY State Senator William H. Reynolds. 167 Underhill sits today, mere blocks from Grand Army Plaza, on land originally designated for the establishment of Prospect Park. However, Olmstead & Vaux's vision moves the park slightly west, allowing Reynolds to realize his own. The exceptional symmetric Renaissance elements, such as wide molding at the door and window, are mixed here with hints of the Romanesque. Enter at parlor level, with beautifully paneled wood, glass double doors, and transom into classic Brooklyn Townhouse. High-ceilinged, with wood-paneled hallway and pier mirrors intact. The rear of this level surprises, with three bayed windows overlooking a private garden, the perfect primary bedroom suite. Original details remain throughout, including decorative window casings, wainscoting, mantles, and inlaid parquet flooring. Currently set up as a six-room owner's duplex with two units above, the potential to create grand owner space is untapped, and the property will be delivered vacant. The location is unparalleled, surrounded by the cultural institutions of The Brooklyn Museum, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, all of the amenities of Brownstone Brooklyn, and, of course, the grandeur of Prospect Park. At over 3,500 sq ft, realize your vision.
