Property Description
A contemporary behemoth hidden behind a stately, 19th century Greek Revival facade, 126 Pacific Street presents the pinnacle of Brooklyn townhouse living. The house is striking in the sheer volume it offers: it is 25 feet wide, has ceilings up to 11 feet high, and spans four capacious floors, not including the finished basement. Exposures to the north and south diffuse soft light throughout the house all day. Three distinct and private outdoor spaces - the terrace off the kitchen, the large back garden, and a terrace on the top floor - each face south and create a multitude of opportunities for cooking, dining, and relaxing.
Enter on the parlor level, audacious with 11-foot ceilings and generous windows. It becomes immediately clear why the triple-parlor configuration is the most desirable among townhouse layouts. Each of the principal public areas of the house - the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen - occupies its own, substantial space while offering easy flow among them. There are two working fireplaces on this level, one in the proper dining room, and the other in the living room; each has restored Iranian Marble mantels. Chevron hardwood flooring and crown mouldings allude to the home's history, while other finishes, such as built-in bookshelves, smart-home wiring, and recessed lighting imbue modernity. There is a powder room discreetly located off the living room, perfect for guests.
The kitchen is both timeless and functional. A large island seats four, and there is also a breakfast area immediately adjacent. South-facing windows draw in light from the back garden. As in the rest of the house, the scale impresses, with extensive counter space, custom millwork creating plenty of storage, and a pantry. A high-end appliance package, including two wine refrigerators and a six-burner range, accommodates any level of cooking and hosting.
There is a terrace off the kitchen that leads down to the rear garden. The garden is appointed with privacy plantings, multiple seating and lounging areas, shaded dining and a grill. In the warm months, it's a verdant and tranquil space, surrounded only by other private backyards.
Facing south, the principal bedroom overlooks the garden from the third floor. This oversized suite includes a dressing area, two huge walk-in closets, a utility closet, and a large windowed bathroom. With floor-to-ceiling marble, the bathroom is chic and luxurious, with a separate soaking tub and a wide double vanity with matching marble. On the other end of the floor there is a library, which easily converts to an additional bedroom, and a home office. The library, softly masculine, includes wall-to-wall custom bookshelves and a fireplace, the third in the house. Finally, there is a full laundry room rounding out this level.
The top floor of the house has three additional bedrooms plus a large south-facing terrace. Ceilings on this floor are over 10 feet high. The southern bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and direct access to the terrace. The two remaining bedrooms share a common bathroom, though each has its own closet. The larger of the two easily accommodates a king-sized bed, plus a small sitting area and desk space.
The garden unit is a renovated and generously sized two-bedroom apartment. It has its own entrance, HVAC system, and laundry facilities. Each of the bedrooms faces south into the garden. There is a large kitchen, plenty of closet space, and two well appointed bathrooms.
The basement is finished and accessible directly from the triplex without entering the garden unit. A multi-purpose space, it is currently set up as a gym and entertainment space, including a built-in sound system, as well as additional storage and the building's mechanicals.
126 Pacific Street is equipped with central air and heating throughout. An elevator shaft could readily be installed in a through-line where common closets are currently located.
