604 2nd St Brooklyn, NY 11215

Welcome to 604 Second Street.

A Landmark four-story, two-family brownstone, located in the middle of a gorgeous tree-lined Park block.

From the moment you step into the vestibule you know that this is indeed a very special home. As you enter the front parlor, the spacious living room is graced with triple bay stained glass topped windows, a full-length pier mirror, and parquet floors. An intricately designed oak fretwork separates the front and rear parlor. Original sliding doors welcome you into the heart of the entire home: a dining room with mirrored fireplace (built for gas), oak paneled ceilings, original tapestry walls, and a rich, dark wood, 14-ft leaded glass-front china cabinet with hidden desk. And don't miss the strikingly beautiful stained-glass door in the hallway, as it is a show stopper. The entire dining room is bathed in warmth from the sunlight, as it streams in from the over-sized south facing window.

The eat-in kitchen features a breakfast bar that seats 4 comfortably and faces a wall of windows overlooking the backyard. The backsplash is made from imported Belgian tiles. The gas stove and dishwasher are recently updated. Attached to the kitchen is a windowed pantry with enough open shelf space for food as well as appliances and your library of cookbooks. From the pantry is a back stairway that leads to the laundry room, potential powder room and south garden. The outdoor space is perfectly set up with areas to both exercise your green thumb and to dine al fresco on the bricked patio.

The floor above the parlor features the master bedroom with its arched alcove, full closet, original marble vanity sink, and built-in cupboards. The south-facing back bedroom with its own full closet is currently being used as an office. Both bedrooms have decorative mantles. There is a bath that is pure Victorian with its original stained-glass window, cast iron claw foot bathtub, and classic original porcelain tiling on the floors and walls.

The top floor has two full sized bedrooms, with original vanities and mantles in each room. There is an adorable hall room, access to the roof, and a full bath.

The hi income one-bedroom garden rental is comprised of a living room with the same detail and overall sensibility as the rest of the house. A compact kitchen and full bath complete the unit. From this level there is access to the shared laundry room and garden. The cellar has a full height ceiling and cement floor.

Whether you move right into this five-bedroom home or modify it to your personal style, this house captures the best of brownstone living. Located less than a block to Prospect Park, just two blocks to PS 321, and one block to shopping on 7th Avenue, this is the very best of Park Slope.
