56 Prospect Place is a classic North Slope townhome, each of its four stories meticulously restored. The modernization of this turn-of-the-century house maintains the integrity of its provenance, while offering modern amenities including central air & heat and upgraded electrical and plumbing systems, along with a new furnace, roof, and windows. Zoned as a multi-family, 56 Prospect Place is currently being used as an enviably comfortable single-family home.

From the outset, you'll note the elegantly curved brownstone stoop, striking arched entry and windows that highlight the home's collection of rare Belcher Mosaic Glass. Belcher's renowned designs of mosaic stained glass, brilliant in color and pattern, are featured throughout the property. The stately brick fa ade is enhanced by a dramatic arched bay window on the third floor and peaked roofline. The parlor floor offers 12' tall ceilings and a tremendous kitchen in the rear with custom mahogany cabinetry and countertops crafted from genuine limestone, a Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf range, and Bosch dishwasher. The front parlor, currently used as a dining room, features a gorgeous decorative fireplace and pristine plaster moldings. In between is a gracious foyer with the showstopper center staircase, intricately carved, as well as contemporary stairs that lead directly to the lower level.

This garden level is a cozy retreat for work and/or play, and accommodates guests easily. The open space has multiple uses: media room with WBFP, workout space, home office, writing or mediation studio, in-law suite Use your imagination! This floor includes a generous custom built-in work-from-home setup and storage area, a dual-exposure den/sitting room off the garden, a bedroom and full bath, plus access to the basement.

The third floor is home to an off-the-charts primary suite, featuring a large front bedroom, generous closet space, and an extraordinary spa bathroom. The bedroom features a wood-burning fireplace with original tile and mantel and a bank of arched windows with Belcher stained glass.

There is also a laundry room with full-size washer/dryer. The grand staircase continues from this level up, where an oversized skylight floods the top floor in light and highlights another exceptional example of mosaic stained glass, while leading out to the contemporary roof deck.
