INCREDIBLE PARK SLOPE PRIME RENOVATION OPPORTUNITY 384 9th Street is an historic two-family townhouse with gorgeous original Arts and Crafts Era detail, situated between two major transportation lines, dining, shopping, and entertainment in the heart of thriving Park Slope -- and it's ready for your renovation! With a three bedroom duplex on the first and second floors and a four bedroom triplex on the upper floors, you can live with income, or choose to renovate each apartment individually while living onsite in the other unit. Built 20' x 45' on a 72' lot comprising 3,824 square feet, this visually striking house offers an alternative to uniform Brooklyn brownstone stolidity. Lower Duplex: a private vestibule opens into a grand central living room, complete with a decorative carved wood fireplace and mantel, high wood beam coffered ceilings, antique chandelier, and paned windows facing north onto 9th Street. The living room has a wide archway into the dining room with a built-in bar surrounded by original cabinetry and lots of storage. The dining room has a wall of windows facing south into the backyard as well as board and batten paneling and an impressive carved mantel surrounding a second decorative fireplace. Carved doors, a mullioned cabinet breakfront, 12" parquet floors, cove molded ceilings, and rare fleur-de-lis hardware add to the grandeur and warmth of these rooms. The kitchen with half-bath extends south off the dining room and opens into the private L-shaped backyard, which is ready for your landscaping or garden design. The backyard benefits from a canopy of mature trees, and also gets direct sunlight throughout the day. There is a full basement, accessible from the street as well as from the kitchen. Currently it has a working washer-dryer, furnace, and water heater along with approximately 800 square feet which could be finished into a den, recreation room, or home office. A carved staircase leads to the second floor, where there are three bedrooms and a full bathroom with clawfoot tub and shower and pedestal sink with vanity. The well-proportioned primary bedroom faces north with two windows over 9th Street and a large closet. The hallway landing between rooms has two additional closets. A second bedroom features French doors which open onto a roof deck (atop the kitchen below). The third bedroom has its own interior closet and a window facing south, overlooking the treetops and backyard. Upper Triplex: A private entrance leads up a carved staircase to the apartment entrance. A carved door opens to a central entry foyer which opens onto the living room to the north and the dining room to the south. The bright living room has large windows facing north, a decorative fireplace with mantel, and an extra cozy alcove. The dining room and adjacent separate kitchen face south and overlook the backyard. Original parquet floors and carved moldings echo the romantic period design throughout the triplex. There are built-in closets on the interior landing outside the apartment as well as inside, off the entry area. A carved wooden staircase runs up the center of this apartment. The large primary bedroom has high ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking charming 9th Street, neighboring historic buildings, and the downtown Brooklyn skyline in the distance. The central bathroom has a clawfoot tub, shower, vanity, and toilet. The second and third bedrooms on this floor face south overlooking the treetops and backyard. The staircase continues to the roof level, where another room has its own WC with windows facing onto the rooftop. Heavy carved doors open onto the roof, which could easily accommodate the addition of an outdoor deck. The house evokes a dignified rusticity. While the bones of this venerable property are exceptional, the condition is well lived-in, and even the simplest of renovations will bring the home new life.
