Brooklyn's oldest surviving country villa, this 1850 landmark offers award-winning restoration and National Registry distinction. Two oversized five-bedroom condos blend historic charm with chef's kitchens, spa baths, and multiple private terraces.
The Elkins House stands as a significant historical landmark in Crown Heights, recognized as the oldest surviving townhouse in the area and the last remaining country villa in Brooklyn. Built in 1850, this individually landmarked residence has been meticulously restored and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The property was awarded the Landmark Preservation Award in 2019, highlighting its architectural and historical importance.
Restored into two oversized condos, the Elkins House retains its original clapboard façade, columns, and distinctive front porch, set back from the street amidst a lush lawn. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom duplex units blend historical charm with modern luxury, featuring spacious layouts that maximize natural light and minimize vertical circulation. The interiors showcase wide-plank oak floors, exposed brick walls, and a contemporary gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Unit B features a stunning great room designed for both formal dining and relaxed living, anchored by a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry by Leicht and high-end appliances, including a Bosch range and Fisher and Paykel refrigerator. The upper level includes two versatile bedrooms with private terrace access, while the second floor boasts a spacious private terrace and three additional bedrooms, including a primary suite with a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom.
Outdoor living is enhanced by three private terraces and a shared front porch, offering a rare urban oasis. Located in a culturally vibrant neighborhood, the Elkins House combines historic significance with modern amenities, making it a unique offering in Brooklyn's real estate market.
