86 Prospect Park West, 3R is a stunning Central Slope corner apartment on one of the most prized blocks of Prospect Park West. Three of its many windows have changing-season postcard views of Brooklyn's landmark Prospect Park and directly frame the landmark Litchfield Manor, also known as Grace Hill, the park's Italianate mansion. An additional nine windows look over beautiful tree-lined and quiet 4th street. With three additional windows in the back offering a third exposure, it is no stretch at all to say that light streams into every room of this apartment.
86 Prospect Park West, 3R, is a classic 3-bedroom/2-bath co-op in a quintessentially Park Slope French Beaux Arts building dating back to the early twentieth century. In addition to the numerous windows, the apartment features: museum-quality original plasterwork; original unpainted woodwork; elegant, working pocket doors; un-altered period dining room built-ins; and classic, original parquet floors throughout. Its spacious entry hall welcomes you with its Parisian-feeling, delicate plasterwork. Its large corner living room feels even larger with the expanse of park and 4th Street just outside its windows and is large enough for entertaining or simply gathering everybody for movies or games.
From the living room, you can access one large bedroom, or home office, through pocket doors, or from the hallway that runs along all the additional rooms and into the kitchen in the rear. Along the way, you will come to the primary bedroom, large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed, its two windows with treetop views, an en-suite bath with deep-soaking jacuzzi tub, and a wall of closets. The third bedroom is also generously sized with built-in closets (all closets throughout have been outfitted with California Closet shelving) and more beautiful tree-filtered light.
Before reaching the kitchen, you step into the formal dining room - a space so elegant and large it will inspire even the most reluctant entertainers. With a wall of fully-preserved display cabinets, with leaded glass doors (with rarely seen stunning millwork) to display your antique serving platters, and ample storage all around. Even with all the original wood, the dining room feels bright and cheery because of all the light through its windows.
Finally, you will come to the ingeniously-designed kitchen, in the back of the apartment. Using every available space, the kitchen is perfect for cooking, having breakfast or a snack, and working from home and teems with practical storage - from pull-out pantry shelving, to ceiling-height cabinetry, to a fully-vented large oven, and dishwasher, -- a breakfast bar, and a over-to-the side work/computer area for those who are working at home, perhaps while someone else is doing the same in a different part of the apartment. The second full bath is tucked away in off the kitchen, with a shower and, yes, another window! The laundry area is also neatly concealed here.
Completing the picture is designated, easily-accessible basement storage, ample enough to store the contents of a whole apartment if this sprawling apartment isn't enough (and additional laundry for extra large loads).
86 Prospect Park West is a self-managed and pet friendly co-op building. This bright, lovely apartment is the Park Slope offering of the season.
We highly recommend early viewing and are showing this apartment by private, guided appointment only
