Exclusive | Rare Brooklyn mansion asks $12.49M after a breathtaking renovation: 'Had to be taken apart and put back together'
Briefly

A 22-room classical mansion in Prospect Park South has hit the market for $12.49 million, making it the most expensive listing in the area. Originally sold for $2.75 million in 2017, the home underwent extensive renovations led by its current architect owner. With over 11,000 square feet of space, including nine bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, the mansion features notable architectural details, such as two-story Ionic columns and restored interiors. The improvements include modern upgrades while preserving the home's historical charm, now visible in its impressive curb appeal.
This is considered kind of the Grand Dame of the neighborhood... It was built with a lot of architectural detail, and the scale is very, very dramatic.
When the mansion was last snapped up for $2.75 million in 2017, it was in a state of disrepair with peeling paint and rotting wood marring the once-grand facade.
It was like a puzzle that had to be taken apart and put back together.
According to Lubin, the extensive renovations included bathroom, kitchen, roof, plumbing and central air upgrades - as well as restoring the pocket doors, fireplace mantels and 66 wood-framed windows.
