168 Bergen Street is a completely renovated townhouse on one of Brooklyn's most sought-after tree-lined streets in the Boerum Hill Historic District. Originally built in the 1850s by William Alexander and James Hughes, this 22-foot-wide house retains its original 19th-century facade and is approximately 4,400 square feet, featuring 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths.
The setback and wide stoop entrance lead to the parlor floor, which serves as the main living and entertaining space, with a beautifully proportioned living room, an elegant curved staircase, and an open kitchen with a marble counter and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and a dining area with a built-in banquette. Access the back terrace through two large custom glass doors that overlook the incredible park-like garden with lush, mature landscaping for ultimate privacy.
The spacious primary suite occupies the entire third floor, complete with a dressing room, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bath with a glass shower, a soaker tub, dual sinks, and much more. Three well-appointed guest bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a central sitting room comprise the second floor, allowing for exceptional flexibility to meet your needs.
The garden level offers an additional guest suite plus a large versatile space suitable for a home theater or an additional living room. Floor-to-ceiling accordion doors open to the expansive yard, enhancing the indoor/outdoor living experience.
Additional highlights include a skylight that floods the home with natural light, herringbone floors, and a finished basement/gym with a wine cellar and a laundry room.
