About This Home
As of July 2025Nestled on one of Park Slope's most picturesque, tree-lined, and landmarked streets, this elegant park block limestone townhouse offers a perfect blend of superb location and breathtaking original details. The flickering courtyard gas lamps evoke the charm of a bygone era, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Currently configured as an owner’s duplex above a garden rental, this home can easily be converted back to a spacious single-family residence.
Step inside and be greeted by exquisite old-world craftsmanship throughout. The house is rich in original features, including a beautifully paneled staircase with a hand-carved newel post, pier mirrors, intricate inlaid parquet floors, wooden fretwork, and pristine plaster relief work. The property also boasts original mantels and fully functioning, never-painted shutters.
The parlor floor impresses with its soaring ceilings and exceptional original details. It features a bright, south-facing living room and dining room, a tucked-away full bath, and a large, architect-designed kitchen with an island and pantry closet. A glass door from the kitchen opens to a wood-covered steel deck, with stairs leading down to the lush, professionally landscaped garden below. Upstairs, the sun-drenched top floor offers a full bath, four bedrooms, and a spacious sitting room with a skylight. A smaller rear bedroom includes a stacked washer/dryer for added convenience. The garden is a private oasis complete with an automated sprinkler system, complete with timers, which ensures easy maintenance whether at home or away.
The garden-level rental apartment features impressive original details as well. This one-bedroom unit has a private entrance, a large eat-in kitchen, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a secluded outdoor patio. The dry basement offers ample storage and could easily be transformed into a wine cellar or additional recreational space.
459 13th Street is just steps from Prospect Park, PS 107, Poly Prep’s lower school, and neighborhood favorites such as Ladybird Bakery, PowerHouse Books, Union Market, and the vibrant shops and restaurants along 7th Avenue. The F/G trains at 15th Street are also conveniently nearby, making this a truly ideal home.
