A rare, double-wide Gilded Age mansion by Prospect Park in Brooklyn is on the market for $16 million, Gimme Shelter can reveal.

Built in 1887, the Park Slope mansion at 842 Carroll St. was designed by architect C.P.H. Gilbert.

It’s one of three in a row designed by Gilbert and part of the Park Slope Historic District — and the only one that has retained its single-family mansion status, said listing brokers Thomas Handschiegel and Mackenzie Kyle, of Platinum Forbes Global Properties. And, at 32 feet wide, it is one of Brooklyn’s widest townhouses — far wider than the average 15- to 20-foot-wide structures.
