Ni mara chache sana unapopata fursa ya kuchukua nyumba ya mawe ya kahawia yenye upana wa futi 30 na kuigeuza kuwa nyumba ya ndoto zako. Huu ndio wakati huo! 870 President Street ni nyumba kubwa ya kihistoria yenye upana wa ziada, iliyoko kwenye barabara bora iliyojaa miti katika Park Slope.

Mwonekano wa mbele wa mtindo wa Romanesque Revival unaupa nyumba hii taswira ya kwanza yenye kuvutia na ukaribishaji. Ngazi fupi za mbele zinaelekea kwenye lango lenye upinde lililojengwa juu ya nguzo zilizochongwa, huku sehemu ya mbele inayojitokeza yenye ghorofa tatu ikipanda juu yake ikiwa imejengwa kwa mawe yaliyokatwa kwa mtindo mb粗 na matofali yaliyopangwa kwa muundo wa ubao wa mchezo; dirisha dogo la vioo vya rangi lililowekwa fremuni kwenye ghorofa ya pili linaikamilisha, likitoa mwonekano wa kipekee lakini wenye uwiano unaotawala mandhari ya barabara.

**GHOROFA YA MAPOKEZI:**

Kupitia milango miwili ya vioo, ukumbi wa kuingilia unaingia kwenye eneo la mapokezi lenye mwonekano wa galeria, lililojaa vipengele vya awali: sakafu za vigae vya Kiingereza vilivyopambwa kwa kuchomwa, zenye mipaka ya mosaiki, mapambo ya ukutani ya Lincrusta, meko kubwa la moto, na ngazi ya katikati inayopinda yenye matusi yaliyochongwa kwa mkono. Kando ya ukumbi, vyumba rasmi vya mapokezi vina kazi tata za mbao, sehemu za juu za meko zilizochongwa, na mapambo ya mbao ya ukutani kote. Vyumba ni vikubwa na vina dari ndefu. Kwa sasa ghorofa hii ina chumba cha mbele cha mapokezi, chumba cha kati cha mapokezi, chumba rasmi cha kulia, bafu kamili, na kabati nyingi nzuri, pamoja na jiko kuu linalochukua kiendelezo cha nyuma kilichojaa mwanga na chenye urefu wa zaidi ya futi 24, kikiwa na madirisha pande tatu yanayofunguka moja kwa moja kuelekea kwenye deki ndogo, yenye ngazi zinazoelekea chini bustanini.

**GHOROFA YA PILI:**

Ngazi iliyoangaziwa na mwanga wa skylaiti inaelekea kwenye sebule pana, vyumba viwili vya kulala, bafu kamili, na jiko lenye eneo la kula linalotoka moja kwa moja kwenye mtaro wa paa na pergola yake—chumba cha wazi kilicho juu ya vilele vya miti.

**GHOROFA YA TATU:**

Vyumba vitatu vya kulala vyenye nafasi kubwa, bafu kamili, nafasi pana ya kabati, chumba cha kufulia chenye dirisha, na sehemu maalum ya ofisi iliyounganishwa na chumba cha kulala cha nyuma.

**CHINI YA NYUMBA:**

Sehemu ya chini ya nyumba yenye madirisha na dari yenye urefu wa takribani futi 8 na inchi 8 ina mifumo ya kiufundi ya nyumba pamoja na maeneo kadhaa ya kuhifadhia, na inaweza kubadilishwa kwa urahisi kuwa ukumbi wa mazoezi, karakana ya kazi, au studio.

Ikiwa katika eneo bora la North Slope, nyumba hii inaweka kitovu cha kitamaduni cha Brooklyn mlangoni pako, ikiwemo Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum, Maktaba ya Umma, Prospect Park Zoo, na soko la wakulima la Grand Army Plaza. Prospect Park yote iko umbali wa mtaa mmoja tu, huku migahawa na maduka ya Seventh Avenue yakiwa karibu kabisa.

Nyumba hii ilijengwa mwaka 1888 na Charles F. Burckett, mbunifu na mjenzi mahiri wa Park Slope. Ikiwa na vipengele vya kihistoria vilivyotunzwa kwa ustadi mkubwa, 870 President Street imehifadhi haiba halisi ya miaka 138, ikitoa mchanganyiko wa kipekee wa ukubwa, mwanga na eneo. Mlete mbunifu wako na ufanye nyumba ya ndoto zako iwe halisi!

Rarely do you have the opportunity to take a 30-foot-wide brownstone and turn it into your dream home. This is that moment! 870 President Street is a grand, historic, extra-wide home, located on a prime, tree-lined street in Park Slope.

The Romanesque Revival facade gives the home a welcoming first impression. A low stoop leads to an arched entry on carved brackets, and a three-story bay rises above it in rough-cut stone and checkerboard masonry; a small framed stained-glass window on the second floor punctuates it, delivering an eclectic yet balanced aesthetic that commands the streetscape.

PARLOR FLOOR:
Through the double glass doors, the vestibule opens into a gallery foyer that is filled with original details: English encaustic tile floors with mosaic borders, Lincrusta wall coverings, a large fireplace, and a winding center staircase with hand-carved banisters. Off the hall, the formal parlors carry intricate woodwork, carved mantels, and wainscoting throughout. The rooms are generous and have high ceilings. This level currently holds a front parlor, a middle parlor, a formal dining room, a full bath, and excellent closets, as well as the main kitchen, which occupies a light-filled rear extension spanning over 24 feet, with windows on three sides opening directly to the small deck, with stairs leading down to the garden.

SECOND FLOOR:
A skylit staircase leads up to a spacious living room, two bedrooms, a full bath, and an eat-in kitchen that walks directly out to the roof terrace and its pergola, an open-air room above the treetops.

THIRD FLOOR:
Three generously proportioned bedrooms, a full bath, extensive closet space, a windowed laundry room, and a dedicated office suite connected to the rear bedroom.

BASEMENT:
The windowed basement, with ceilings of roughly 8'8", houses the mechanicals and multiple storage areas and can easily be converted to a gym, workshop, or studio.

Set in prime North Slope, this location places Brooklyn's cultural center at your doorstep, including the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, the Public Library, the Prospect Park Zoo, and the Grand Army Plaza farmers market, with the whole of Prospect Park one block away and Seventh Avenue's dining and shops just around the corner.

The house was built in 1888 by Charles F. Burckett, a prolific Park Slope architect and builder. With historic details that are impeccably maintained, 870 President Street preserves 138 years of authentic character, offering an irreplaceable combination of scale, light and location.
