513 Fourth Street | Park Slope A house with presence, provenance and a story to tell. One of Park Slope’s most distinctive townhouses, 513 Fourth Street is an extraordinary 24-foot-wide Romanesque Queen Anne residence dating to the 1890s. Built by the celebrated Allan Brothers, the house is distinguished by its dramatic corner turret, Spanish-tiled spire, stained glass and richly detailed architectural ornament. It also happens to have a bit of cinematic history, making a memorable appearance in Academy Award winning Moonstruck. Inside, original details unfold at every turn: soaring ceilings, intricate millwork, handsome mantels, pocket doors, parquet floors, stained-glass transoms and an exceptional oak coffered ceiling. The upper triplex offers an elegant scale for both grand entertaining and everyday living, with generous bedrooms, beautiful living spaces, a private terrace and a lush garden. A separate two-bedroom garden rental provides welcome flexibility for guests, family, an au pair or income. Just a block from Prospect Park, this is quintessential Park Slope at its most romantic: grand without being formal, richly historic yet wonderfully livable, and utterly impossible to mistake for anything else.
