741 President St #1, Brooklyn, NY 11215

Built in 1899, 741 President Street is a uniquely distinguished four-story, two-family brownstone that gracefully blends preserved turn-of-the-century craftsmanship with refined modern updates. Set on one of Brooklyn's most beloved tree-lined blocks, this handsome brownstone offers a four-bedroom owner's triplex above a stunning, character-rich, garden-level apartment. A rare combination of scale, character, and distinction in the heart of Park Slope! Inside, the home showcases remarkable architectural detail, including one-of-a-kind, hand-carved ornate woodwork, carved wainscoting, pocket doors, decorative fireplace mantels, crown moldings, bay windows, and wonderfully finished parquet hardwood floors. The parlor level is designed for elegant entertaining, with a gracious dining area, a renovated kitchen that features white shaker cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, dishwasher, and quartz countertops that provide a clean, spacious workspace. The rear living room is outfitted with rich original woodwork, a beautiful, detailed fireplace mantel, high ceilings, and oversized windows that open directly onto a spacious deck that provides treehouse-like privacy from the abundance of surrounding leafy trees. The upper levels offer generously proportioned bedrooms, including a dramatic primary suite with bay windows, a lovely decorative mantel with cast iron fireplace insert, and serene treetop views. The second bedroom provides a beautifully framed arched alcove that creates a refined and practical workspace, adding architectural interest and flexibility to the room, and on the top floor, the expansive front bedroom offers exceptional flexibility. A graceful window bay, high ceilings, hardwood parquet floors, decorative ceiling medallions, and crisp white walls create an airy backdrop for multiple layout options, including sleeping, lounge, study, or play zones. The modern bathrooms include soaking tubs, glass enclosures, bright tilework, and skylight details, while the large windowed laundry room completes this triplex's thoughtful layout. The separately accessed garden-level apartment offers a compelling layer of flexibility and preserved prewar charm. Original raised-panel wood wainscoting, deep-set bay windows, period door and window casings, and pine plank floors run throughout the entire unit. The eat-in kitchen features exposed wood ceiling beams, an exposed red brick accent wall, butcher-block countertops, modern appliances including a stainless-steel dishwasher, and French doors to the rear yard. Two half baths and a large washer/ dryer complete the layout. Moments from Prospect Park, Barclays Center, Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Public Library's Central Library, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the location is exceptional.
