495 1st St Unit 2 Brooklyn, NY 11215

495 First Street, Apt 2

Renovated Parlor level floor-through in a historic limestone with wood burning fireplace and south facing terrace.

On a tree-lined street only one block from Prospect Park, this gem combines well-preserved architectural details with all the modern comforts: a recently renovated kitchen and bath, central AC, in-unit washer-and-dryer, a wood-burning fireplace, a lovely terrace, even space for an office nook.

The recent kitchen has hardwood cabinets, and high-end appliances including a Bertazzoni stove, Fisher & Paykel fridge and Bosch dishwasher. With the original carved-slate mantle and a charming arched cove to accommodate a dining table, the living space features a triple bay-window with stained glass transoms, and opens to a large deck overlooking lush brownstone gardens.

The bedroom has generous windows with functioning pocket shutters and a double customized California closet. The extra width of the entrance hall provides ample space for a desk and chair. The new bathroom has a soaking tub, and the full sized washer/dryer vents to the roof. Basement storage is included in the very low monthly maintenance.

This pet friendly home is one flight up from the sidewalk in a self-managed, 3-unit townhouse Coop. Situated on arguably one of the most sought-after streets of this picturesque neighborhood, several subway lines are within easy reach, as are the Saturday farmers market at Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Museum, and all the charms and conveniences vibrant Park Slope has to offer.
