This 1903 French Renaissancestyle
row house is verily besotted
with carpentry. It’s got a
coffered ceiling in the dining
room, built-in glass cabinets,
garlanded window casings
with stained-glass transoms,
a built-in breakfast nook, decorative
baseboard moldings and
paneling, and even a wooden
sauna in the master bathroom.
From the fl oor plan, it looks
like it has no fewer than six
fi replaces — three of which, the
listing mentions, are working.
It claims they are marble, but
the ones pictured are wooden
with mirrored overmantels —
although one of them appears
to have an onyx surround.
The home at 594 Second St.
is part of a lengthy row of 26
houses in the Park Slope Historic
District designed by Benjamin
Driesler, the prolifi c
turn-of-the-century Brooklyn
architect who claimed to
have designed more than 4,000
buildings while still only halfway
through his illustrious
career. These ones all have
high brownstone basements
and L-shaped stoops with upper
stories varying between

brick, brownstone, and limestone
throughout the row. This
house is limestone.
It’s a block from Prospect
Park with fi ve bedrooms, 3.5
baths, modern stainless-steel
appliances, a brick garden,
and terraces on the second and
third fl oors. Although its 1964
certifi cate of occupancy was
for two families, it was converted
into a single family in
1990, and has one kitchen.
The latter is in an extension
and features green-stone counters
and a built-in table and
chairs whose handcrafted feel
and whimsical cone-shaped
Lg Fairmont
legs are echoed in a vanity and
shelving in bathrooms elsewhere
in the house.
We featured the house a couple
of years ago when it was up
for rent. Now it’s on the block,
asking $4.5 million, with Jeff
Reyngach of Lg Fairmont handling
the listing. Worth it?
