AVAILABILE: January 1st, 2027 Bask in the Victorian elegance of a genuine Gilded Age brownstone. Built in 1883 and nestled on a tree-lined street in the heart of Park Slope's coveted Historic District. This spacious 2,500 sq ft, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath upper triplex in a two-family brownstone features a private terrace, a shared backyard with upper deck, and in-unit laundry. The ultra-prime location offers exceptional transit access and is steps from Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park and neighborhood shopping. Four express subway lines, the 2, 3, B and Q, are one or two blocks away and put you in Lower Manhattan in just 15 minutes and Midtown in under 30. You get to spend less time commuting and more time relaxing at home with family and friends. The beautifully restored parlor and dining room feature decorative plaster ceilings, brass chandeliers converted from gas, original floor-to-ceiling black walnut woodwork, burl wood inlays, a gorgeous wooden mirrored mantel, a floor-to-ceiling pier glass mirror, an 1870 French-made double buffet, parquet floors, pocket doors and original working shutters. The indoor splendor is matched by the neighborhood outside: Grand Army Plaza with its limestone fountain and triumphal Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch, the Central Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, cherry blossoms at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, the weekly farmers' market in the Plaza, and best of all, idyllic Prospect Park. The apartment has many practical features as well including an additional fully furnished third-floor kitchen and a private patio just off the parlor-level kitchen, perfect for breakfast on a sunny spring morning. The yard below makes for a quiet outdoor reading area or an ideal play space for young children. Spread over three spacious and luxurious floors, the layout adapts to how you choose to live, and the fourth bedroom can easily serve as a guest room or a work-from-home office.
