This very pretty 20' wide Park Slope brownstone awaits its next owner. Packed with original pre-war details over three stories on a 100' lot, this property offers the rare opportunity for you to create a dream home. The townhouse is blessed with an east/west orientation, high ceilings, marble fireplaces, and oversized windows, with views of the lush rear garden and tree-lined Bergen Street. Currently used as a single-family home, this house awaits your vision and design team to transform it into the most enviable brownstone on the block.
Entering through the large arched stoop doors, you'll be greeted with a gracious parlor floor. The large windows flood the entertaining space with sunlight. The two public rooms still have the original matched marble fireplaces, beautiful moldings, and original tin ceilings. They are separated by pocket doors with etched glass panels. A small office is just off the hall in the rear.
Upstairs are two large bedrooms connected by the original passthrough of closets, plus two additional rooms that could easily be converted into office spaces, small bedrooms/nurseries or an ensuite bath. A skylit hall bathroom and roof access closet completes the top floor.
The garden level has 8' ceilings and the potential for a fabulous open kitchen, plus communal living space. A second full bathroom, plus mudroom and a large open basement round out the lower floors. With approximately an additional 1,600sf of FAR, this home could be expanded and still have a luxuriously large rear south facing garden.
The townhouse features all the charm North Park Slope has to offer, with close proximity to both Boerum Hill and Prospect Heights. It is perfectly located a few blocks away from the most diverse public transportation hub in all of New York City: Atlantic Station featuring the 2,3,4,5,B,D,N,R,Q and LIRR train lines. Barclays Center, Prospect Park, and The Brooklyn Academy of Music are within walking distance, in addition to some of the best restaurants, cafes, and shops Brooklyn has to offer!
Please note: the golden retriever is not included with the townhouse, but he is patiently waiting to be friends with the lucky new owner.
