About this property

Simply. Stunning. 283 Decatur Street is a four-story, two-family center-hall jewel that has been restored to perfection with style, sophistication and relentless attention to detail adding in all the comforts of modern living in one of the most desirable locations in historic Stuyvesant Heights. South-facing and exceptionally bright, this stately brick beauty offers new mechanicals, dual-zoned A/C, five original mantles, restored woodwork, and a lusciously landscaped garden. Configured as a triplex over a garden apartment allowing for luxury living with rental income or an extra-spacious single-family manse. Built in 1890 and designed by Brooklynite Architect, Francis B. Stryker, 283 Decatur is among a row of distinctive Romanesque Revival brick and brownstone homes who's unique style is not found anywhere else in Brooklyn. The exterior is in pristine condition including unique terracotta detailing and original wrought ironwork. The elegant front hall with original encaustic tile and waist-high wainscotting leads into the front parlor featuring a striking floor-to-ceiling pier mirror complimented by a huge, arched triple-bay window with original stained-glass that saturates the room with south-facing light. The exposed woodwork has been meticulously restored to emit a pale-oak glow, and the original floors reflect a contemporary light tone throughout. The coved ceiling imbues an understated level of refinement. Showcasing an inspired central stair, the center parlor is the heart 283 Decatur. We invite you to sit at the dining table and take in the sweeping views of the entire floor in all its detail and glory. Are we still in Brooklyn, or have we slipped into a Parisian fantasy? The dream kitchen is bespoke perfection with custom cabinetry, honed marble countertops, integrated Bertazzoni and Miele appliances, and Croft of London brass hardware. A restored original built-in cabinet graces an entire wall and makes this already impressive space an undeniable showstopper. Floor-ceiling custom mahogany doors lead out to the rear terrace and into the landscaped garden. Comprising the primary suite, the third floor can alternatively be used as two separate bedrooms. The primary bedroom is full-width and extremely bright. Custom cabinetry lines the walk-in closet with a convenient dressing sink a luxurious, modern take on Victorian-era pass-throughs and shaving sinks. There is a beautifully-restored decorative fireplace mantel in each room. The classically-designed marble bath perfectly straddles traditional and contemporary styling. At the top level there are three more bedrooms, two more decorative fireplaces and an elegant marble and tile bath with the original clawfoot tub. Top-end fixtures and hardware from Waterworks, Perrin & Rowe, Rohl, Lefroy Brooks, and restored antique hardware from Croft of London, polish off the two upper baths. Last but not least, the garden apartment is no afterthought.
