37 Garden Place

Welcome to 37 Garden Place, a 25-ft wide, light-filled, single-family home located on the most desirable block in Brooklyn Heights. This classic 1847, 5-story townhouse boasts 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half bathrooms, and a lush, verdant garden.

A discerning buyer will appreciate subtle but noticeable aspects that set this townhouse apart from all the others: Every one of the bedrooms is well proportioned. There are windows at each stairway landing, bringing in lots of light. The parlor floor windows reach 9’ high, almost from the floor to the ceiling, so in addition to the aesthetic drama, the height allows sunlight to come streaming in. The entry hallways on the Garden and Parlor levels are exceptionally wide. The lovely garden is easily accessible from either the kitchen or the garden floor. There are no missteps in the layout.

LAYOUT

PARLOR FLOOR
The Parlor floor has an open plan with the living, dining, and kitchen seamlessly working together, perfect for entertaining. A wall of 8 windows above the kitchen, plus the tall windows at the front, bring in sunshine from morning to evening. There are two wood-burning fireplaces where you can cozy up with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. A powder room is also conveniently located on this floor.

3RD AND 4TH FLOORS
The 3rd floor is currently used as the primary bedroom floor. The primary bedroom, located towards the back, has two French doors for access to a wide terrace that overlooks the private garden. The front room is currently used as a library but has the flexibility to be turned into a nursery or another bedroom. A full bathroom is located off the hallway.

Similar to the 3rd floor, the 4th floor has a large bedroom in the front and a large bedroom in the back. Adjacent to the hallway bathroom there is a large washer and dryer.

TOP FLOOR
Tucked away on the 4th floor, a hidden staircase leads up to the atelier-like top floor. There, light comes in from 4 skylights. Wide plank floors lend authenticity to this attic studio space. Behind cabinet doors that span the width of the house, there is loads of storage space.

GARDEN FLOOR
The layout of the Garden floor makes this level feel like a separate living space on its own merits - perfect for guests or live-in help. There is a private entrance to this floor under the stoop as well as access from the staircase off the kitchen. A large bedroom is located at the front, and off a short passage that leads to a den/sitting area, there is a full bath. More storage space can be found on this floor with a deep hallway closet as well as additional storage under the steps.

Garden Place has earned the reputation of one of the quietest, most beautiful and sought after residential locations in all of New York City, particularly within the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. The world class Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Historic Brooklyn Heights Promenade are moments away, as is the transportation hub of Borough Hall with the 2/3, 4/5 and R subway lines.
