355 Pacific St

Stately and elegant, 355 Pacific is a quintessential example of a beautiful, 20’ wide, brownstone in the Historic District of a tree-lined block in Boerum Hill. Built in 1869, this 4-story Italianate-style house comes from the Post Civil War era when residential Boerum Hill matured alongside the commercial development of Atlantic Avenue. Renovated and restored in 2016 to its prior glory, but with modern touches, this home is an entertainer's delight, offering the perfect blend of historic and original details, timeless design, and modern 21st century conveniences.

As you walk up the stoop and into the grand parlor floor, a sense of joy and wonder overcomes you, as the soaring 11’ foot ceilings, with oversized Southern facing windows emit light and volume. With original moldings, a wood burning fireplace, and grand proportions, the room is perfect for entertaining 60 of your closest friends or relaxing in solo introspection in front of the fire with your favorite book. The rear of the parlor contains the chef’s kitchen, with top of the line appliances and dining area, and features a magnificent decorative fireplace and original mantle. Off the parlor in the back is a deck, which continues naturally and blends outdoor and indoor living and the added dimension of dining al fresco. Off the deck and down the steps is a dreamy and serene landscaped garden. The fully irrigated garden was designed with mature greenery and was thoughtfully accented by mood lighting, and includes an open sitting area that currently has a temporary fire pit.

Back inside on the 3rd floor is the second shared area, which is modern, open, and airy. Loft like, with high ceilings, and an open communal space, the floor features a powder room and a serving kitchen; marble counters; 5 wine fridges; top of the line fixtures, finishes, and lighting; and multiple sitting areas. It's truly an entertainer's delight. Easily converted into 2 additional bedrooms and a large living room, this is another incredible space where moments are created.

The top floor features the 4th bedroom and a spacious master bedroom, with a dreamy windowed walk-in closet outfitted by California Closets, and a windowed, 5 fixture marble bath with a sculptured soaking tub.

The garden level is configured with two bedrooms, large closets, and a modern bathroom. Perfect for visiting guests but could easily be converted to an income producing rental unit. The full basement was fully renovated in the last six years and features new mechanicals, masonry walls, and plenty of wine storage. The home features a ductless AC system, new mechanicals, a new sidewalk and vault, and countless other updates.

Located in the heart of Brownstone Brooklyn, Historic Boerum Hill has some of the best restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops, and all major transportation lines are a quiet, tree-lined stroll away. Moments to neighborhood favorites like Rucola, The Brooklyn Inn, Grand Army, Mile End Delicatessen, French Louie, Anaïs Wine Bar, Levant on Smith; and close to all the wonders of Smith and Court Streets, The Barclays Center, BAM, Downtown Brooklyn, and every major form or transportation, this is truly a wonderful home in one of the most picturesque, convenient, and exciting places to live in all of Brooklyn!

Previously featured in the Boerum Hill House and Garden Tour, this legal 2 family home is a wonderful place to come home to and enjoy for generations to come.
