You will instantly fall in love with this approx. 4,900 sqft landmark limestone, with the unit spanning 20ft w x 70ft with the added extension.  This limestone was created in 1899 in the Romanesque Revival Style and built and designed by well known NYC Architect Jeremiah Gilligan, who himself was a Park Slope resident. 
Begin planning your next dinner party by procuring the best seasonal ingredients at the abundant fresh food options that dot the neighborhood, including the Park Slope Food Co-Op, Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket and Whole Foods. Greet your guests in the welcoming living room, where the hearth's ornate mantle bears the inscription "East or West Home is Best," setting the hospitable tone for the entire residence. Delicate wedding cake molding tops the walls and the ornate mahogany built-in library is flanked by two closets, providing useful and beautiful storage space in this room which can also serve as a bedroom or create an entirely different layout and built your dream chef's kitchen (see alternate floor plan). 
Following a warm reception, usher your guests to dinner through original pocket doors leading to the dining room. The stunning stained glass skylight and bay windows filter colorful light into the space, illuminating old world details, including a mirrored carved breakfront, a second fireplace, coffered ceiling and rich wainscoting, all providing the ideal backdrop to an elegant meal.  At the end of this lovely evening, head through another set of original pocket doors to arrive in the spacious home office. From here, you’ll enter your lavish bedroom with stained glass transom windows through a graceful archway created by carved spandrels and columns.
