1 Sherman Street

Rare opportunity to purchase an entire corner limestone and brick legal 2-family townhouse (currently used as a single family), with an attached garage, on a sought-after Windsor Terrace block.

Offering bountiful sunlight through three exposures, and nearly 30 windows in total, the 20-foot-wide semi-detached home strikes the perfect balance between elegant classic charm and modern updates. Enter the airy parlor level from the new stoop, where there is a gracious living room with a trio of bay windows. An adjacent windowed sitting room flows seamlessly into the dining room with built-ins and versatile lounge/office space with two exposures. The custom chef’s kitchen has been tastefully reimagined with sleek cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel Bosch appliances that include an induction cooktop electric oven, and a walk-in open pantry with storage-galore (you’ll be the envy of all your neighbors!). A chic, newly renovated bathroom that features a floating vanity, striking Italian tile, and a glass shower stall rounds out the parlor level.

Up the original staircase, topped by a stained glass skylight, are FIVE bedrooms of generous proportion, including two king-size bedrooms, one of which boasts bay windows along with an adjoining home office/walk-in closet/dressing room, an updated bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and heated floors, with a skylight overhead. A new laundry closet with a stacked LG washer/dryer sits next to the bath. New windows have been installed on this level.

The renovated lower-level rec space (930 sq ft) can be used in a variety of ways, including as a fitness center, office space, creative studio, game room (with a billiard table included!), playroom, storage, and more. A breezeway leads to the highly convenient two-car garage (361 sq ft) with a 220V outlet for EV charging. It is possible to add a roof deck on top of the garage. There is also a side yard for a patio set, planters, tree pits, and fresh air.

Throughout the home, historic details such as inlaid parquet floors, built-in shelving, ornate woodwork, and picture moldings are effortlessly coupled with modern style and amenities including bespoke contemporary lighting, mini-split heating and cooling, and a designer color palette. Upgrades abound -including new plumbing, new electric, efficient solar panels, electric water heater, sump pumps, and more.

This lovely home is near the new Terrace Books, as well as local favorites such as Adirondack, Syko, Lady Bird, and Double Windsor. Tucked away on a sought-after bucolic block less than three short blocks from Prospect Park and near transportation and shopping, the location is unbeatable.
