Perfectly placed on one of the most picturesque blocks in Northern Park Slope, the Murphy Mansion exemplifies the artistic heritage and cultural fabric of this storied neighborhood. Standing a full 5 stories with its meticulously maintained original details, this residence is a testament to the opulent history of the neighborhood. Built circa 1885, this gracious and grand townhome boasts six bedrooms, two full and two 1/2 bathrooms, a top-of-the-line custom kitchen, a perennial garden, a gas burning fireplace, original mahogany woodwork throughout and a stunning stained-glass atrium. Original Victorian detail abounds with entry pier mirror, Jefferson shutters throughout, 6 decorative fireplaces and 1 gas fireplace all featuring original millwork, sliding bookcase and Lincrusta wallpaper that carries you up the staircase to the private bedroom quarters. The expansive primary suite, featuring pass-through closets and a sitting room, is a perfect respite from a day's work. On the next two floors, you will find 4 additional bedrooms adorned by the over-sized jaw-dropping stained glass atrium that elegantly filters in the natural light from above. All of these exquisite features have been meticulously maintained, but there is no shortage of modern luxuries: new mini split HVAC system throughout, new solar panels on the roof, Lutron lighting throughout and a screening room.
