Description

PRETTY IN PARK SLOPE Park Slope Delight - This dreamy sun-drenched 3-story brownstone checks all the boxes! Currently set up as a 2-family home, it can easily be used as a single family. It is a rare beauty inside and out. Nestled on a tranquil, tree-lined block, in a row of historic brownstones it has two ultra-rare, coveted features: a deep rear garden and a two-story, full-width, historic, light-filled extension. There are lovely original details throughout, including marble mantles, gorgeous woodwork, wood floors, tin ceilings, and elegant stairways. The parlor floor has a spacious, southern-facing living room. There is a large kitchen, with plenty of cabinets and an oversized island. The dining room has three full-height windows that overlook the lush rear garden. Upstairs there is a special, full-width bedroom with a gorgeous, plaster archway and a lovely marble mantle. Its adjoining walk-in closet connects to the spacious rear bedroom. There is a full bath off the main hallway. A rear room off of the hallway houses the home's 2nd kitchen. The owners have architectural plans to convert this into another bathroom. On the garden level there is a versatile suite of two connected rooms in the front. Use one as a bedroom and the other as a generously-sized home office, guest room, or art/yoga/meditation studio. There is also a sizeable rear bedroom on this floor, a large full bathroom, a laundry area, and an expanse of cedar storage closets. The extra-deep rear garden has a large stone patio that provides plenty of room for dining and grilling. A lawn is bordered by planting beds filled with perennials and shrubs. This is set against a stunning Japanese maple tree and the larger landscape of the beautifully maintained neighboring yards. The home's basement houses the mechanicals and can be used for additional storage. Please see the video we have created for this listing in addition to the photos on the web. The house can be shown by appointment only.
