About This Home
Welcome to 8 8th Avenue #2B. Set on a quintessential tree-lined avenue framed by historic brownstones, this extraordinary duplex residence boasts approximately 1,500 square feet of elegant interior space, thoughtfully designed and rich in character. Located in a boutique cooperative, this two-level home was originally crafted by a maritime architect, whose vision is evident in the finely detailed woodwork and timeless craftsmanship throughout.
The home features two spacious bedrooms, one and a half baths, and both parlor- and garden-level private entrances. Soaring 13-foot coffered ceilings on the parlor level create a sense of grandeur, while 9-foot ceilings on the garden level provide a warm and intimate atmosphere. A dramatic spiral staircase connects the two floors, blending architectural interest with functional flow.
The sun-filled living room is graced with northwest-facing bay windows that overlook a lush terrace, bathing the space in natural light and offering leafy views. A fully functioning wood-burning fireplace adds an inviting centerpiece, perfect for cooler months. The residence also features a well-appointed kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigerator and gas range, in-unit washer and dryer, and bathrooms on both floors for added convenience.
One of the home's most distinctive features is its expansive private terrace, surrounded by lush trees and classic townhouses-an ideal setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or quiet moments of respite. Additionally, a dedicated storage area in the basement provides ample room for seasonal items or larger belongings.
Located just one block from Grand Army Plaza, 8 8th Avenue enjoys immediate access to Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Greenmarket on Saturdays. The 2 and 3 trains at Grand Army Plaza, and the nearby B and Q trains at 7th Avenue, provide convenient access to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn. The B69 and B41 bus lines are also within easy reach.
Everyday essentials are close at hand, with Union Market, Olmsted Natural Foods, and Park Slope Food Coop all nearby. Local dining and nightlife options abound: enjoy dinner at Fausto, Oxalis, Gertrude's, or Cafe Mado, followed by drinks at Sharlene's, The Se7en, or Union Hall. For coffee and pastries, nearby favorites include Caf Regular, Winner, and Hungry Ghost.
This prime Park Slope location offers seamless access to cultural institutions, beloved restaurants, essential services, and green space-bringing together the best of Brooklyn living in one meticulously maintained and architecturally distinctive home.
