606A 3rd St Unit 2 Brooklyn, NY 11215

Townhouse perfection in Park Slope

Located a half block from Prospect Park, close to shops, transit, restaurants and services, Third Street is one of the most magnificent streets in what is, lets face it, one of the prettiest neighborhoods in the city. From the gaslight in the deep front garden, to views from the roof deck, every inch of 606a Third Street has been thoughtfully preserved - or exquisitely reimagined. If you've been considering townhouses, do not miss this home. With over 3000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, a separate entrance, three bedrooms, two full baths (plus a hidden powder room), and a massive private storage area, theres room for everyone without feeling overwhelmed - or needing to find a tenant.

Built in 1910 and recently upgraded, this rarely-available "Kinko" home is your chance to live in the historic district without compromise. With cozy wood-burning and gas fireplaces, multi-zone split unit air conditioning, heated stone floors and brand new radiators, your comfort is assured in all seasons. The designer-owner has lovingly treated every surface, with new skim coating, trim, paint and tile. Custom runners line the dramatic stairs, which are lit from above by a huge skylight. The entire home is bathed in sunlight.

The private entry leads to a mudroom where you can drop your gear and leave your cares behind. The solid Arts & Crafts stair leads to a central foyer with clever built-in bookcase concealing a powder room and a coat closet. To the right, the oversized living room features a wood-burning fireplace with marble surround. A distinctive oriel window, with custom upholstery and leaded glass, overlooks the tree-lined street. To the left, a grand dining room unites the entertaining spaces. The chic bar and scullery has a gas fireplace and extensive storage. Beyond, the eat-in kitchen has two exposures, new appliances and an extensive Carrara marble countertop. Glass doors lead to a balcony with a gas grill. Steel casement windows with deep sills bring light and birdsong from the quiet back yard.

Up the stairs, the primary suite is a retreat unlike any other. Sunlight pours through tall french windows into this exquisite set of rooms. Custom millwork conceals vast, clever storage. A gas fireplace makes for a cozy sitting area. The primary bath with heated floors and two exposures leads to a surprise terrace with evergreen plantings.

Two additional bedrooms, each with charming dormer windows, face onto Third Street. There's a stunning skylit bathroom with footed tub and hidden washer/dryer. Attention has been paid to every detail: fixtures from Waterworks and Lefroy Brooks, classic knobs and cremone bolts - if you love elegant hardware, this home is a must-see.

Up the stairs you'll find an extensive roof area ready for your customization. The views are to die for, and the space is all yours. In the lower level, a private 260 square foot storage room is the ultimate luxury - a place for everything you don't use daily. Keep all your gear safe, organized and close at hand.
