Thoughtfully renovated and lovingly cared for, this Park Slope townhouse seamlessly combines gracious period detail with updated, yet classic design. With its lovely garden, this three-story, two-family home offers a serene urban escape, inviting you to enjoy the charm both inside and out.
A welcoming foyer greets you as you enter the home and into the parlor floor which boasts 11' ceilings and a spacious living room with plenty of room to relax and unwind. Sunlight pours in through oversized windows, while the room’s centerpiece is a marble-mantled decorative fireplace.
The entrances to the kitchen and dining room are adorned with striking stained-glass transoms. Sunlight floods the kitchen through two large windows and a door that leads outside to the back deck. With stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops, and ample cabinetry, the kitchen is as functional as it is stylish. With plenty of room for a large dining table, this space is perfect for holiday gatherings and entertaining.
Discreetly positioned under the staircase, a charming powder room is conveniently located just off the kitchen.
Step through the back door to a delightful deck with stairs leading to the spacious garden—a perfect spot for morning coffee. Whether dining al fresco, honing your grilling skills, or tending to your garden, the backyard, complete with a flowering pear tree, offers endless possibilities for outdoor living.
The top floor features three well-appointed bedrooms and two large, handsomely renovated bathrooms. At the top of the stairs, the first bathroom showcases a classic black-and-white design with subway tiles, a spacious vanity, and a large tub.
The primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with a walk-in closet/dressing room and an en-suite bath featuring a charming pedestal sink, chrome fixtures, and a luxurious deep soaking tub. Bathed in soft southern light and overlooking the serene garden, this room exudes warmth and charm, complemented by the decorative fireplace.
Throughout the home, you’ll find high ceilings, custom lighting, intricate original moldings, ceiling medallions, and stunning hardwood floors, all adding to the refined character of the space.
The garden level features a lovely one-bedroom apartment with an additional sunroom, perfect for use as a home office. In excellent condition, this apartment can provide significant rental income, or it could be easily incorporated with the upper floors to create a spacious single-family home. In addition, the house has approximately 3000 square feet of FAR* to build up or out! (*Please consult an architect for confirmation on FAR.)
Situated on picturesque tree-lined 8th Street, this townhouse enjoys a prime location just steps from Prospect Park, renowned dining and shopping on 5th and 7th Avenues, and convenient access to the 9th Street F, G, and R trains. The location is simply unbeatable.
