A Bespoke Carriage House Reimagined for Modern Living
This former 19th-century carriage house and stable, reimagined by its architect owners, has been masterfully transformed into a 4,000 SF live/work compound, an exceptional fusion of heritage, design, and luxury. Set on a 131-foot-deep lot, the property comprises a 25-foot-wide by 50-foot deep main residence, a two-car garage, and, a 25-foot-wide custom-built guesthouse and spa offering rare scale and privacy just minutes from Prospect Park.

Every detail reflects material artistry: radiant heated wide-plank walnut floors, yellow leaf heart pine beams, reclaimed sequoia, exposed brick, hot-rolled steel, and Venetian plaster all contribute texture and depth. At its center, a sculptural floating staircase, crafted with mortise-and-tenon joinery, suspended between masonry and exposed original studs, anchors a soaring, light-filled interior with three wood-burning fireplaces.

The ground-level entry welcomes you with its striking floating wood screen staircase. Honed concrete floors lead to a rear den featuring a rustic cast-iron wood-burning stove, while large Loewen windows and glass doors open seamlessly to a lush private garden. The open-plan second floor flows around a professional grade chef's kitchen, lined with bespoke walnut cabinetry, is coupled with a wood-fired pizza oven set beneath a pressed-tin ceiling. The upper level features three bedrooms, and two distinctly crafted bathrooms with continuous flooring, inventive hidden slot drains, a vintage American copper tub, and full-height glass panels that create an immersive experience. The expansive garden, lined with reclaimed Belgian block and bluestone, leads to a two-wing guesthouse retreat: one side, a sunlit studio with sliding glass doors that open directly onto the garden; the other, a serene Japanese-inspired spa with hinoki wood soaking tub, steam room, open shower with slate finishes, and radiant-heated floor. Future-forward infrastructure includes zoned HVAC, on-demand hot water, new insulated roof, underground utilities, and a climate-controlled 2,000-bottle capacity wine cellar, with substantial unused FAR for expansion.

Ideally located near Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and Franklin Avenue's cultural corridor, this one-of-a kind residence is a rare opportunity to own a singular architectural masterpiece in the heart of Brooklyn.
