Unique opportunity to rent a beautifully furnished, historic townhouse with unsurpassed wood work and detail. This gracious early 20th Century limestone is available from February 2016 through May 2016. Located on a quiet, landmark, tree-lined residential block in the heart of Park Slope, this stunning home resides in one of Brooklyn's most desirable and safest neighborhoods.

The house is airy and sun-drenched with Victorian, as well as Arts and Crafts touches. There are original parquet floors, stained glass, wood paneling, mosaic tile, and Stickley furniture. All three stories are available for your use ? it is a rare single-family home. The first floor has a double-parlor living room; formal dining room; renovated cook?s kitchen with high-end appliances and a skylight. A door off the kitchen opens onto a deck with a gas grill and stairs that lead down to a charming, manicured garden. On the second floor are two large bedrooms/home offices and a renovated designer bathroom with tub/shower. The master bedroom on the third floor is generously sized. On this floor is another large bedroom and a renovated marble bathroom with double vanity, custom-made oak built-ins, a skylight, and huge combination tub/shower. Laundry is no longer a chore. The washer/dryer has its own quarters in the finished English basement with a window view to the courtyard.

Prospect Park, Frederick Law Olmsted?s magnum opus (he also designed Central Park), with its leafy walkways and bike paths is steps away. Seventh Avenue, the main shopping area, with abundant stores, restaurants and services, is three blocks away. The house is a stroll to Grand Army Plaza, where there is a year-round Saturday farmer?s market and the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. Walk another 10 minutes, and you arrive at the Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Gardens. One subway stop, or a 30-minute walk, brings you to the Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
