This landmark Prospect Heights brownstone has classic bones and modern finishes. The lovingly renovated 2-family townhouse is a marriage of old-world charm, with high ceilings, over-sized windows and a historic brownstone facade, combined with newly-installed luxury touches. The recent owners made beautiful upgrades in anticipation of years of enjoyment, including herringbone oak floors throughout, central AC, new heating system, soundproof windows, designer lighting, custom shades, custom closets, and a new roof.

This historic home is set back from the sidewalk behind a landscaped front yard, offering privacy from the street and creating a quiet oasis within. The main house has key-less entry to a stunning parlor floor, an open family space with formal dining room at the front of the house, leading to a Chef's kitchen with custom Italian cabinetry, a marble waterfall island, Wolf appliances, and Subzero refrigerators. The living room, at the peaceful back of the home, features a recently added extension with floor to ceiling windows looking over the massive backyard, a perk of this extra-long lot property. Step out onto the deck, leading down to the gorgeous garden with mature trees. The perfect place for entertaining, the yard boasts brand new TimberTech decks and an outdoor kitchen by NewEco, complete with TimberTech cabinets, granite counter tops, Lion brand built-in grill, outdoor refrigerator, Big Green Egg smoker, and TimberTech storage bench.

A spectacular feature of the parlor floor is an epic curved staircase that sweeps you up into the light from the newly added penthouse floor above, where skylights flood all the floors of the home with sunshine. Head upstairs to the second floor, where the generous master bedroom is located, along with a windowed dressing room with custom cabinetry. The sophisticated master bathroom has intricate tile work, a freestanding tub, separate toilet room, double sink with over-sized vanity and a glass-enclosed shower with a rainhead showerhead. The second bedroom on this floor also enjoys its own en-suite bath, with classic hexagon tiles and a glass-door shower. The top penthouse floor has two additional bedrooms and a full bath, all lit up by skylight windows.

576 Bergen Street can be enjoyed as a 5-bedroom, 4.5 bath single family home, or by simply closing a door, can be converted to a 4-bedroom, 3.5 bath owner's triplex with a garden-level one bedroom rental. The garden apartment has a separate key-less entry, full kitchen, and washer/dryer.

The entire home is wired for ADT Security and there is a huge sub-basement for additional storage. The sellers are open to selling their gym equipment (Peloton tread, Peloton bike, and Bowflex weight system) and some pieces of the furniture (B&B Italia, Maria Yee, Lazzoni, etc.).

Situated on a quiet Prospect Heights side street, this home is steps away from Michelin star dining on Vanderbilt Ave, which is part of the amazing Open Streets Program, and several blocks from Prospect Park, with its fantastic weekend farmer's market. The main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum are a short walk away. Conveniently located near several train lines, including the B/Q at 7th Avenue, the 2/3 at Bergen St., and the C at Clinton/Washington.
