452 8th St Brooklyn, NY 11215

On a beautiful Park Slope block, one of the prettiest and friendliest in the neighborhood, sits this classic brownstone. Built at the turn of the century it retains its traditional feel while seamlessly incorporating all the improvements modern living requires.
The garden level kitchen is bright and spacious with glass doors that lead out to a deep and south-facing garden. Its recent renovation features sleek white cabinetry, Caesar stone countertops, a double oven, a SubZero refrigerator and a built in range. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed and encompasses a table and chairs overlooking the garden in addition to a large stone island for the chef.
With a beautiful backyard at your doorstep, enjoying the outdoors is luxurious and easy. The rear part of the yard has a grassy surface big enough for a game of catch or a picnic. The front part, right off the kitchen, has blue stone pavers and is ideal for grilling, dining under the stars or lounging in the sun.
On the other side of the kitchen is an elegant dining room with original built-ins - a perfect place to set up a bar or store your china. It can seat up to 12 and is a versatile space easily used for both your casual weekday meals or for a more sophisticated dinner party. There is also a powder room on this floor.
The parlor level is a perfect meld of old and new. The architectural details, such as the soaring ceilings, marble fire places, moldings and floor to ceiling windows are reminiscent of an older era while the flow and layout reflect a more contemporary lifestyle and use of space. The formal front parlor has many original details and connects through pocket doors to the rear. The back parlor is used as a more casual gathering place with built in bookshelves and cabinets.
The bedrooms are upstairs with a spacious master on the 3rd floor overlooking 8th Street. It has a pass through, walk in closet that connects to another bedroom, and laundry. This layout allows the 3rd floor to be used as either a master suite encompassing a sitting room, private walk in closet and bath or as two separate bedrooms: a master and a guest room. The fourth floor has 2 additional large bedrooms, each with its own walk in closet. There is another full bath on this floor. Both bathrooms have radiant floor heat.
