Beautifully situated on Park Slope's premier, double-wide, tree-lined street, 470 3rd Street, Apt 4R, represents the best of Brooklyn living. The graceful, prewar limestone building is a meticulously maintained, self-managed, 8-unit coop, with a landscaped front garden and flowering trees. This limestone gem is just two blocks from Prospect Park and it's zoned for PS 321. Apartment 4R is a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home bathed in sunlight, with private roof rights for a spectacular view of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines, from the Clock Tower and Empire State Building to the Freedom Tower and the Statue of Liberty. Prewar charm, grace, and proportions are abundant in Apt 4R. Hardwood floors, 9+-foot ceilings, and original moldings are featured throughout. A large and welcoming foyer, with a generous coat closet, greets you upon entry. Through an original pocket door is the formal and windowed dining room, with plenty of space to host gatherings, located conveniently off the open, renovated chef's kitchen. The windowed kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances-a gorgeous Bertazzoni oven, Liebherr fridge, and Bosch dishwasher-plus custom maple cabinetry and granite countertops and floor. Through a second pair of pocket doors is the living room, with three oversize windows overlooking tree-lined 3rd Street. In the generous gathering space, the current owners were able to fit a large sectional to watch television-set back in custom built-ins-and a separate built-in office space, while still retaining an open and spacious feel. The centerpiece is the wood-burning fireplace, faced in green slate and perfect to gather around on cold nights. The coop purchases a cord of wood each year, so you'll always have a steady supply! The bedrooms and baths are conveniently located away from the main living spaces. A hallway leads you to a moody powder room, a laundry closet (it vents out!), two more generous coat and linen closets, and a windowed full bath with a newly updated vanity, sconce lighting, and ceiling fan. All three bedrooms offer generous closet space. One, currently used as a child's bedroom, has a lofted twin bed and two built-in desks underneath it. Another bedroom, used as an office and guest room, features a clever and stylish built-in, two-person maple desk system, which can fold up and allow for a full-size guest bed. The primary bedroom fits a king-size bed and has two oversize windows overlooking the gardens and decks of 3rd and 4th streets. The piece de resistance is the private roof rights! Up a flight of stairs, onto the brand-new roof-replaced two years ago-the new owner can safely build a new deck, with plenty of room for lounging, gardening, and more, all while taking in spectacular views. 470 3rd Street, Apartment 4R, offers low monthlies, private outdoor space, and gracious, well-kept living in the heart of Park Slope. Every convenience has been thought of: There is storage in the basement, as well as ample bike storage, and stroller storage off the entry. Small pets are allowed (sorry, no dogs). Just at the end of the block, on 7th Avenue, are myriad businesses: Blue Bottle Coffee, Sushi Katsuei, Tarzian Hardware, and Heatwise Yoga. Plus, you're just a block and a half from bustling 5th Avenue, with its many desirable restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops.
