Step into a piece of New York history at the legendary Elkins House, Crown Heights" oldest residence and a testament to enduring architectural grace. This remarkable 1850s wood-frame villa carries the distinguished honor of individual landmark designation and National Registry recognition-a rare jewel that has been meticulously restored and converted to 4 condos.

Unit A presents over 2,600 square feet of thoughtfully curated living across a dramatic duplex layout, offering the grandeur and privacy of a private townhouse with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The marriage of period authenticity and cutting-edge design creates an atmosphere that is both timeless and utterly of the moment.

Enter through the gracious front portico via towering nine-foot French doors into a spectacular great room where 12-foot ceilings create an sense of boundless space. The open kitchen features German cabinetry and high end appliances arranged around a show-stopping waterfall island, with modern, gas fireplace incorporated. Two generous bedrooms complete the upper level, each opening onto a private terrace that overlooks the expansive private garden below.

Descend the dramatic staircase-crafted from steel and original joists-to discover an entirely different mood below. The sitting room provides versatile space for relaxation and entertainment, while a flexible den or office doubles as guest accommodation. Two additional bedrooms anchor the rear of the home, including a sprawling master suite with walk-in closet and spa-inspired ensuite featuring dual vanities, radiant heated floors, and an oversized rain shower. Direct garden access transforms these rooms into private retreats.

Every convenience has been considered, from central climate control to the sophisticated Lutron smart lighting system that adapts to your daily rhythms. A dedicated laundry room with premium LG appliances rounds out the floor. 

Beyond these walls, the tree-lined streets of Crown Heights beckon with their vibrant mix of established charm and emerging culture-where neighborhood bistros and boutiques create the perfect backdrop for Brooklyn living at its finest.
