The Park Slope brownstone showcases rare original features from the 1880s, including elaborate mantels, period woodwork, and a charming mid 20th-century kitchen, remaining largely unchanged since its last purchase in 1961.
Owner John Magilligan's embellishments transformed the neighborhood in the 1880s, claiming his homes offered "first class" features like electric service and dumbwaiters—evidence of the era's evolving appreciation for modern conveniences.
While the grandeur of the parlor had been subdued over time, remnants of its opulent past from the Griswold family are preserved, showcasing a stunning bric-a-brac mantel and intricate original light fixtures.
The evolution of the home demonstrates the balance of historic preservation with modern living, offering a two-family setup that retains the historical integrity, making it an attractive option for contemporary buyers.
