Yon Mèvay Atizay nan Distri Istorik Ditmas Park
1000 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn

Nenpòt moun ki te di pa gen okenn vrè palè nan Brooklyn pa janm wè 1000 Ocean Avenue.

Konstriksyon an fèt an 1899 pa achitèk renome George Palliser pou magnat Wall Street George Van Ness ak fanmi li, rezidans sa a ki moniman nan Ditmas Park se yon temwayaj pou grandè Laj Lò Brooklyn. Prèske 6,000 pye kare espas pou viv ak yon garaj detache konplè repoze sou yon teren vaste avèk yon chimen prive ki ka akomode plizyè machin—yon òf ekstraòdinè nan nenpòt epòk.

Devan tanp moniman kay la, pilas korent, ak fenèt Paladyen yo evoke yon elegant achitekti ki pa janm depase. Andedan, plafon wo, kat chemine (de ki boule bwa ak de ki gaz) ak gwo eskalye orijinal la ak twa modèl espiral distenk revele atizay yon tan pase. Fenèt fè ki gen pwente limen aterisaj la ak limyè, pandan otèl jeneral, yon bibliyotèk, ak yon sal manje fòmèl sonje lavi sosyal distenge kay la. Anwo, gwo chanm dòmi ak yon sal bil ya ap tann renovasyon, tout anba yon do kay an nwa ak vale koulè kwiv.

Sitiye nan Distri Istorik Ditmas Park, pwopriyete sa a se yon opòtinite inik pou yon achtè vizyonè pou retounen youn nan rezidans ki pi enpòtan nan Brooklyn nan ansyen glwa li. Malgre bezwen yon renovasyon konplè—andan ak deyò—integrite estrikti a ak provenance li ofri yon fondasyon san parèy pou renouvèlman.

Sa a se yon pwopriyete ki make istorik ki bezwen renovasyon total andedan ak deyò. Achtè lajan sèlman.

A Restoration Masterpiece in Ditmas Park’s Historic District
1000 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn

Whoever said there are no true palaces in Brooklyn has never seen 1000 Ocean Avenue.

Designed in 1899 by the renowned architect George Palliser for Wall Street magnate George Van Ness and his family, this monumental Ditmas Park residence stands as a testament to Brooklyn’s Gilded Age grandeur. Nearly 6,000 square feet of living space and a fully detached carriage house rest on an expansive lot with a private drive accommodating multiple cars—an extraordinary offering in any era.

The home’s monumental temple front, Corinthian pilasters, and Palladian window evoke timeless architectural elegance. Inside, soaring ceilings, four fireplaces (two wood-burning and two gas), and the original grand staircase with three distinct spindle patterns reveal the artistry of a bygone age. leaded-glass windows illuminate the landing with light, while generous parlors, a library, and a formal dining room recall the home’s distinguished social life. Upstairs, large bedrooms and a billiard room await restoration, all beneath a slate roof with copper valleys.

Set within the Ditmas Park Historic Landmark District, this property is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a visionary buyer to return one of Brooklyn’s most important residences to its former glory. Though in need of comprehensive restoration—inside and out—the structure’s integrity and provenance offer an unparalleled foundation for revival.
