About This Home
As of August 2024Grand four-story 1910 brownstone in Center Park Slope feels like the home you’ve been waiting for. Set on one of Park Slope’s storied blocks, minutes from Prospect Park, this unique barrel-fronted, 3,600 sf property is a prime example of Romanesque Revival architecture, beautifully melding original detailing with modern enhancements such as mini-split air conditioning. The footprint measures 20 ft wide, by 45 ft deep, on a 100 ft lot with room to spread out.
The parlor floor, the entry point for an owner's duplex, welcomes you with original mosaic tiles and an original pier mirror in the spacious foyer. This floor features a comfortable living room area, a full bathroom with contemporary glass tiles and Waterworks fixtures, and the pièce de résistance: a sprawling French country-inspired kitchen with blue handcrafted, cabinets, granite countertops, lush Brazilian hardwood floors, Bosch appliances, and an original mantelpiece—the perfect setting for your next dinner party. The party continues on the brand-new expansive deck with wrought iron railings and ceramic tile flooring overlooking the garden and affording blue sky views and a far-reaching natural setting of adjacent courtyards.
The upstairs floor of the duplex is just as thoughtfully considered, with two oversized bedrooms, each with a bank of windows letting in the Brooklyn sunlight, and another full bath. Two additional windowed rooms may serve as a home office, fitness room, or walk-in closet.
The top-floor apartment offers a wealth of options as a potential rental property, private family space, or an addition to the duplex below. Sunny and cheerful, it has an oversized bedroom with a charming skylight, adjacent to a compact office, plus a comfortable living room/dining area, and a sweet kitchen with new stainless-steel appliances including a stackable w/d.
The sprawling garden apartment with original tin ceiling is a blank slate, ready to be refurbished into a significant income-producing rental unit, or combined with the other floors to create a one-family residence. Store all your extra possessions in the dry basement. Some photos virtually staged or enhanced.
