Isa sa mga pinakamahalagang townhouse na may lapad na 30 talampakan sa marahil ang pinakamagandang kalye sa Brooklyn Heights: Puno ng kasaysayan, ngunit malawak na na-renovate upang matugunan ang mga pangangailangan at hinihingi ng panahon ngayon, ang 25 Grace Court ay orihinal na itinayo noong 1861, itinayo, tulad ng lahat ng mga rowhouse sa Heights, bilang isang tahanan para sa isang pamilya para sa may-ari nito. Hindi tulad ng mga kapitbahay nitong Italianate, ang bahay ay may mababang stoop at isang natatanging naka-angling na bay window sa parlor level na may balcony na umaabot sa buong gusali sa itaas.

Nakatayo sa isang tunay na napakaganda, tahimik na cul-de-sac, ang bahay na ito, habang marangal sa sukat, lalo na ang lapad nitong nakaharap sa timog na nagbibigay-daan sa liwanag sa buong araw, ay isa sa mga pambihirang tahanan na perpektong nasusukat. Ang kasalukuyang may-ari ay nagsagawa ng malawak na renovation na tumagal ng maraming taon noong kalagitnaan ng 2000. Ang naibalik na redbrick façade ay nanalo ng 2007 Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award, isa sa mga bahagi ng malawak na engineering, magandang millwork, at mga mekanikal na pagpapabuti na walang takdang panahon.

Bilang karagdagan sa 6 na fireplace at kahanga-hangang taas ng kisame sa buong lugar, ang mga interior ay nagtatampok ng ilang magagandang detalye mula sa nakaraan, kabilang ang isang eleganteng hagdang-bato, naka-arched na doble pinto, Tiffany glass, natatanging bay windows, magagandang hardwood na sahig na may border inlays, at masalimuot na crown moldings, ceiling medallions, at fretwork transoms.

LEVEL NG HARDIN:
Naka-set back mula sa kalye na may gated-entry courtyard, pumasok sa palapag na ito sa pamamagitan ng isang hiwalay na pasukan sa ilalim ng stoop, na naglalaman ng isang malaking silid-tulugan na may en suite na banyo, isang kitchenette, at isang malaking media. PANSIN: Ang rendering ng KITCHEN ay halos na-stage upang ipakita kung paano ang media room ay maaaring maging isang malaking eat-in kitchen na nag-uugnay sa hardin.

LEVEL NG PARLOR:
Na-access sa pamamagitan ng mabangis na stoop, isang entry vestibule at gallery ang bumabati sa iyo, na humahantong sa pormal na sala na may malaking bay window na tumatanaw sa Grace Court. Nakatuon sa isang fireplace, ang silid na ito ay may 13-talampakang kisame at maraming built-ins. Ang dining room, na nagtatampok din ng fireplace, custom-built-ins, at isang bay window, ay nagpapakita ng pambihirang Gracie wall coverings. May built-in wet bar at access sa landscaped backyard patio para sa tuluy-tuloy na indoor-outdoor entertaining. Kasama ng dining room ay isang windowed galley kitchen na may barrel-vaulted ceilings, marble floors, isang oculus, isang breakfast nook, at Viking at Sub-Zero appliances.

IKATLONG PALIGSAN:
Ang Primary Bedroom Suite - na may bay window din - ay nagtatampok ng dalawang en suite na banyo na may P.E. Guerin fixtures at walk-in closets na may isa pang fireplace. Ang dalawang karagdagang silid-tulugan sa antas na ito ay madaling makapagbigay ng lugar para sa isang study at/o isang malaking boudoir/closet na may sariling fireplace, kung nais mong ilaan ang buong palapag para sa isang pangunahing suite.

IKAWALANG PALIGSAN:
Ang palapag na ito ay nakalaan para sa tatlong karagdagang silid-tulugan - dalawa na may mga fireplace - na may mahusay na espasyo sa closet, built-ins, saganang natural na liwanag, at isang napakalaking may bintanang buong banyo na may step-in shower at isang freestanding tub. Posibleng magdagdag ng isa pang banyo.

LEVEL NG ATTIC:
Ang napakalaking - mahigit 1,400 sq ft - may bintanang attic ay naglalaman ng laundry room at nagbibigay ng sapat na imbakan. Maaaring ito ay isang lugar upang palawakin ang bahay para sa iba pang gamit.

Ang mga visual delights ay kasing kaakit-akit ng mga tunog ng nagkikikik na mga ibon sa Grace Court: Sa dulo ng kaakit-akit na kalye na ito, isang intimong hardin na may tanawin ng New York Harbor, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Statue of Liberty, at Lower Manhattan Skyline ay higit pang nagpapaganda sa kalidad ng buhay sa kabilang ito, ang pinaka-inaasam na kapitbahayan sa Brooklyn, na naghahatid ng kaakit-akit na hanay ng mga restawran, cafe, coffee shop, at mga retail na tindahan. Ang lokasyong ito ay nakikinabang mula sa madaling access sa maraming pampasaherong sasakyan, kabilang ang mga lokal na bus lines, ang NYC Ferry, at ang mga subway lines 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, R, at F. Ito ay isang bahay na may kalidad na tulad ng kolektor na bihirang maging available.

One of the most significant 30-foot wide townhouses on possibly the most beautiful block in Brooklyn Heights: Steeped in history, yet extensively renovated to meet the needs and demands of today, 25 Grace Court was originally built in 1861, constructed, as were all the rowhouses in the Heights, as a one-family home for its owner. Unlike its Italianate neighbors, the house has a lower stoop and a distinctive angled bay window on the parlor level with a building-wide balcony above.

Perched on a truly exquisite, quiet cul-de-sac, this home, while grand in scale, especially its south-facing width that allows light in all day, is one of those rare homes that is perfectly proportioned. The current owner undertook an extensive, multi-year renovation in the mid-2000's. The restored redbrick façade won the 2007 Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award, one part of the extensive engineering, fine millwork, and mechanical improvements that are timeless.

Aside from 6 fireplaces and impressive ceiling heights throughout, the interiors boast some wonderful period detailing, including an elegant staircase, arched double doors, Tiffany glass, distinctive bay windows, beautiful hardwood floors with border inlays, and intricate crown moldings, ceiling medallions, and fretwork transoms.

GARDEN LEVEL:
Set back from the street with a gated-entry courtyard, enter this floor through a separate entrance under the stoop, which houses a large bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a kitchenette, and a large media. NOTE: The KITCHEN rendering is virtually staged to show how the media room could easily be a large eat-in kitchen leading out to the garden.

PARLOR LEVEL:
Accessed via the gracious stoop, an entry vestibule and gallery greet you, leading to the formal living room with a large bay window overlooking Grace Court. Centered on a fireplace, this room boasts 13-foot ceilings and numerous built-ins. The dining room, also featuring a fireplace, custom-built-ins, and a bay window, showcases extraordinary Gracie wall coverings. There is a built-in wet bar and access to the landscaped backyard patio for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Alongside the dining room is a windowed galley kitchen with barrel-vaulted ceilings, marble floors, an oculus, a breakfast nook, and Viking and Sub-Zero appliances.

THIRD FLOOR
The Primary Bedroom Suite - also with a bay window - features two en suite bathrooms with P.E. Guerin fixtures and walk-in closets with another fireplace. The two additional bedrooms on this level could easily accommodate a study and/or a massive boudoir/closet with its own fireplace, should you wish to dedicate the entire floor to a primary suite.

FOURTH FLOOR
This floor is dedicated to three additional bedrooms - two with fireplaces - with great closet space, built-ins, abundant natural light, and an enormous windowed full bathroom with a step-in shower and a freestanding tub. Adding another bathroom is possible.

ATTIC LEVEL
The massive - over 1,400 sq ft - windowed attic houses a laundry room and provides ample storage. It may be an area to expand the house for other uses.

The visual delights are as appealing as the sounds of chirping birds on Grace Court: At the end of this enchanting block, an intimate garden with views of the New York Harbor, Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Statue of Liberty, and the Lower Manhattan Skyline further enhances the quality of life of this, Brooklyn's most desired neighborhood, which delivers an enticing array of restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, and retail stores. This location benefits from easy access to multiple public transportation options, including local bus lines, the NYC Ferry, and the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, R, and F subway lines. This is a home of collector-grade quality that rarely becomes available.
