136 Park Pl, Brooklyn, NY 11217

136 Park Place is on one of the most beautiful blocks in the North Slope, in a row of six Italianate houses built in 1869. This section of Park Place is one of the earliest in the Park Slope Historic District to be developed (1869), and was one of the first to achieve landmark status in 1973. 136 Park Place is 21 feet wide, 45 feet deep, on a 100 foot deep lot. The gorgeous stoop beckons you to step through the ornate, tall arched double doors with etched glass, and into this beautiful and well-loved home. Currently configured as a two-unit dwelling, triplex over garden unit. The parlor floor is characteristic of the Italianate style -high ceilings with decorative details, high arched doorways, and a glamorous gilded pier mirror in the living room. The kitchen is in the back of the parlor, in the manner of modern living. The deck off the kitchen introduces an oasis that in the summertime is verdant and lush, and includes a heavenly grape arbor over the deck. On the bedroom floors, there are four large bedrooms, and two smaller side bedrooms, along with two full baths. The top floor has a flexible middle room, and the laundry is situated on this floor for convenience. The garden floor has been used as a rental for many years, and features an open living/kitchen area, two bedrooms, laundry, and excellent closet space. The location is super convenient - just a block to the Q/B trains, and a few blocks to the 2/3 trains. The block is tight-knit and friendly, just what one expects of Park Slope! A couple of photos have been virtually staged, most are actually staged.
