House: 18 Prospect Park West

Neo-Italian Renaissance mansion-scaled limestone townhouse with three open exposures. A collector-grade landmark perfectly positioned directly on Prospect Park with the most remarkable museum-quality level of intact historic millwork and detailing that retains its authenticity while delivering a living environment perfectly updated for today’s lifestyle.

Built in 1898 by Montrose Morris, and set back from the street on two sides behind an imposing iron fence with enchanting landscaping, this five-story townhouse underwent a multi-million dollar renovation. State-of-the-art mechanicals have been discretely installed to allow the abundance of glamorous, old-world details to function seamlessly in the 21st century. Built on a 25ft x 95ft corner lot, this 9,000+ square foot home is filled with opulent, ornate, original carved wood details, coffered ceilings, multiple stained glass windows, pocket doors, wood paneling, an imposing oak center staircase with hand carved posts and a stained glass skylight above that streams natural light down the center. The volume of detailing defies description.
