Park Slope Mansion With 32-Foot Width Asks $18.5 Million

A Romanesque Revival brownstone with an iconic tower bay and wide front stairway features 11 bedrooms, nearly as many fireplaces, six full baths, two half baths, and a garden. The facade uses ashlar-cut rock-face brownstone with no brick, and the mansion was originally designed in 1887 by C.P.H. Gilbert, later restored with a private elevator. A nearby five-story Gilded Age mansion on a tree-lined block includes 11 bedrooms, six full baths, two half baths, very high ceilings, a large walk-in closet, a landscaped garden, and an elevator. Interiors include coffered ceilings, pocket doors, grand staircases, wainscoting, arched windows, skylights, herringbone parquet floors, and historic wood-burning fireplaces. The legal two-family layout provides an owner’s parlor quadruplex over a two-bedroom garden residence, totaling about 8,000 square feet, with a primary suite, marble bath with steam shower and soaking tub, and multiple specialized rooms.

"On a leafy stretch, the Romanesque Revival brownstone features 11 bedrooms and nearly as many fireplaces, six full baths, two half baths, and a garden. With its iconic tower bay and wide sweeping front stairway that leads to a recessed door, the Remington House evokes a postcard version of Park Slope. Unique among its Romanesque Revival neighbors, there is no brick on the facade. It is all ashlar-cut rock-face brownstone. Originally designed in 1887 by C.P.H. Gilbert, this 32-foot-wide mansion has been restored - now with a private elevator."

"On a tree-lined park block, the five-story Gilded Age mansion at 838 Carroll Street features 11 bedrooms, six full baths, and two half baths. The ceilings are so high they're neck-craning; a walk-in closet is wide enough for a dance floor. The landscaped garden seems to always be in season. Did we mention the elevator? Gilded Age eye-candy abounds: coffered ceilings, pocket doors, grand staircases, wainscoting, spindles, brackets, and a collection of historic wood-burning fireplaces that will warm your 2026 heart and bones."

"Sunlight pours through oversized arched windows and skylights, casting dramatic shadows on the herringbone parquet floors. A legal two-family, the expansive house comprises an owner's parlor quadruplex over a two-bedroom garden residence well suited for lucky in-laws or an au pair suite. In all, there's about 8,000 square feet. That's a lot of living. The floor-through primary suite features a sitting room and walk-through dressing areas."

"The marble bathroom features a steam shower, freestanding soaking tub, and yes, a fireplace that's dried many a Gilded-age moustache. There's a neoclassical family room that echoes Louis XIV here, a library to summon your inner Mark Twain there, and a sunlit, wood-paneled breakfast nook tucked into a bay window. If you ever had an inkling to separate yourself from such Arts and Crafts elegance-and why would you?-there are numerous ways to get to the landscaped garden."
