Luxurious interiors meet spectacular outdoor space in this custom-built Mill Basin showplace featuring five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a home theater and a resort-like pool deck. A soaring double-height foyer with inlaid stone floors, coffered ceilings and a majestic floating staircase makes a dramatic first impression in this almost 5,000-square-foot residence. To the left, the formal living room invites you to relax in front of the gas log fireplace and handsome built-in cabinetry. To the right, the formal dining room welcomes large gatherings under a crystal chandelier. The adjacent open kitchen is a chef's wonderland where premium stone counters top custom cabinetry and a massive center island. Upscale stainless steel appliances includes a side-by-side Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer; a six-burner Wolf range with double ovens, a pot filler and a copper hood; a dishwasher and a built-in microwave. Enjoy casual dining at the large breakfast bar, or step onto the adjacent balcony for coffee overlooking the sparkling pool. Ascend the chic staircase to find the corner owner's suite featuring designer wall coverings, a large walk-in closet, an en suite bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile and a walk-in rain shower for two. Two secondary bedrooms on this level share a full bathroom equipped with a lovely clawfoot soaking tub. On the top floor, a third full bathroom is flanked by two more extra-large bedrooms — one includes a private terrace. This home's walkout lower level features a deluxe theater room, a powder room and a convenient second kitchen. Outside, the magnificent rear yard beckons with an in-ground pool, oversized patio and well-stocked outdoor kitchen, all surrounded by privacy walls and fencing. This home features an extensive security system. Gorgeous landscaping and a handsome brick façade add irresistible curb appeal, while a wide driveway and attached garage provide plenty of parking in this special Brooklyn home.
