Situated in Prospect Heights at the edge of North Park Slope, Prospect Park is just a short walk away. The home retains much of its original character, with tall bay windows, decorative moldings, wainscoting, hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings, while thoughtful updates-including stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and an in-unit washer and dryer-bring everyday comfort. The parlor level opens into a spacious living room where oversized bay windows flood the space with natural light. Original architectural details give the room warmth and character rarely found in newer construction. Just beyond is a separate dining area that flows naturally into a well-appointed kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, generous cabinet storage, ample counter space, and a dishwasher. Both bedrooms overlook the private backyard, creating a peaceful separation from the entertaining spaces. The king-sized primary bedroom enjoys tranquil garden views and features an unexpectedly generous double-height closet. The second bedroom has built-in shelving and has been used by previous tenants as either a home office, nursery, guest room, or an oversized walk-in closet. The main bathroom is clean, tiled, and includes a full bathtub. Downstairs, the finished recreation level dramatically expands the living space. Whether you envision a media room, home gym, studio, guest suite, or workspace, it offers remarkable flexibility. This level also includes a second full bathroom with a standing shower, an in-unit washer and dryer, and direct access to your private bamboo-lined backyard. The backyard is exclusively yours.
