You get all the charm of a historical property with all the upgrades to meet the demands of modern city living. And this arts and crafts oasis is just a 5 minute walk from Prospect Park with direct and convenient subway links to the city. Upon entering the house you immediately time travel, immersed in the opulent splendor yet subtle elegance of the home, featuring silkscreened wallpapers, chandeliers, and delicate hand crafted touches throughout all 3 floors. Straight out of a magazine editorial (of which there have been many!), the walls of the dining room come to life with a hand-painted chinoiserie mural in the style of De Gournay and more bespoke flourishes that invite guests to indulge in long, lively, lingering meals. The light-filled room, which is crowned with an exceptionally large crystal chandelier, also features original woodwork painted in Farrow and Ball Calke Green, seamlessly tying it together with the kitchen. There are two additional spacious living rooms on the ground floor with original historic woodwork and three fireplaces. The generously sized eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home-it's rich with English country-estate charm and fully accented with heirloom quality finishes and a chef-sized Garland stove. The decor features renowned William Morris wallpaper, Farrow and Ball-painted cabinets and designer light fixtures. The windows and skylights provide massive amounts of light, as well as a glass door opening out to the bluestone patio, where you are immediately surrounded by a mature woodland garden as well as an oversized 700 square foot porch, elevated, wrap-around, low maintenance stone-floored porch featuring a private trellised 'outdoor room', perfect for entertaining. Highlights of this property continue with seven large light-filled bedrooms, all featuring high-end European wallpapers, including the primary featuring a beautiful Victorian-tiled fireplace and its own en-suite bath-one of 3.5 fully renovated baths, all tastefully designed in the arts and crafts style. A large versatile bedroom/studio suite on the 3rd floor faces west and perfectly frames every sunset. Perhaps the property's most remarkable feature of all is the splendid mature English cottage garden that surrounds the home in a lush blooming botanical embrace throughout every season. Professionally designed as a series of small "rooms", this garden is a plant lover's dream, boasting over 65 types of roses that form walls of fragrant blooms, accompanied by lilacs, wisterias, hydrangeas, elderflower, evergreens, all-season perennials, and flowering bulbs. But this garden isn't just beautiful, it's also delicious, including apples, pears, figs, and raspberries, all espaliered (train horizontal) to accommodate city living and thriving in an 8-inch bed of organic top soil that was replaced throughout the property. All is kept thriving with an efficient and comprehensive irrigation system. This home essentially comes with its own private professionally landscaped botanic garden-perfectly epitomizing the landmarked neighborhood's rus en urbe (country in the city) vibe. The garden comes with recommendations for local maintenance providers and further extensive information about the plants for interested parties. Beyond this artful architecture and curated design are significant mechanical upgrades that ensure the integrity and functionality of the home-offering buyers a level security, value, and peace of mind not often associated with historic homes.

This home is asking $3,950,000, $1,500,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,265,000 and $2,975,000. - **Median closed price**: $2,450,000 - **Middle half**: $1,265,000 – $2,975,000 - **Based on**: 5 house sales in Prospect Park South - **Period**: October 2024 – June 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $845/ft² Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Prospect Park South. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 96% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 5 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 88 days (about 13 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 52 days (about 7 weeks) Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 88 days (about 13 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 5 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 52 days (about 7 weeks), based on the 5 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 5 house sales in Prospect Park South, October 2024 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3050930001. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
