577 76th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11209 New York City NY US

Situated on one of Bay Ridge's fabled tree-lined blocks, this barrel front townhouse c. 1905 boasts the full array of original details, meticulously preserved, along with modern central AC/heating. As you approach the south-facing facade shaded by a stately 75-year-old sycamore tree, you'll see a bay of three windows, including stained-glass transoms. Pass through the gated wrought-iron fence and note the charming lamplight in the center of the front enclosure, the brownstone stoop, and wrought-iron double-doors protecting your entry vestibule. Open the inner solid mahogany door with beveled glass, flanked by panels of original stained-glass, step into the full foyer with built-in boot box at the foot of the original oak staircase. The parquet floor with inlay runs throughout the parlor floor. Light spills in through the front doors, and from the original stained-glass skylight above. Original pocket doors flank the generously proportioned parlor bathed in sunlight with ten-foot ceiling and original detailed woodwork. From there you pass through another set of pocket doors to the formal dining room with its coffered ceiling, built-in cabinets featuring original leaded-glass doors, intricately carved decorative moldings, and original lincrusta wall-covering between the wood panels of the wainscoting. Two tall windows drench this room in morning light. Pass through the galley kitchen and enter the mid-century extension with a tall window that floods the space with light and opens onto the spacious patio, with an exterior gas-line for your grill, and your own pear tree for shade in the garden. The second floor with four bedrooms and nine-foot ceilings has a bright and airy hallway with six original mahogany doors, including a pocket-door for the full bathroom-vintage 70's fixtures including a deep bathtub and soaring skylight.
