Property Description for 619 2nd Street

Experience the elegance of turn of the century living outfitted with modern day conveniences in your renovated townhouse located in the heart of Park Slope. This four-story masterpiece with its central sweeping mahogany staircase features a parlor floor with an expansive living and formal dining room with sliding pocket doors and a beautiful inlay of parquet wood-flooring. Designed by Eisenla and Carlson, the front of the townhouse boasts large bay windows that provide plenty of natural sunlight to the upper floors. Entertaining friends and family will be a breeze no matter the season for the dedicated home chef. The eat-in kitchen features Viking appliances, including a dishwasher, refrigerator, and professional-grade stove with self-cleaning oven, and room for an intimate table of four. Additional amenities include large windows, marble countertops, glass cabinetry to showcase your kitchen treasures, ample storage space and outlets, and direct access to the vast backyard. As well as a service entrance and back stairwell that connects the kitchen to the second floor. Glamorous and sophisticated, your new townhouse is resplendent with details harking back to the neo-Italian Renaissance age. Six craftsman fireplaces feature mahogany and ebonized moldings, mantels with nature motifs, and their original cast iron grates. Each floor features ceiling molding and plaster authentic to the period, parquet floors with intricately patterned designs, wood trim, and built-ins. Its upper floors house four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a library with recessed lighting, and a home office with skylight. The second and third floors each have original Victorian-style dressing rooms with matching his and her marble sink countertops between the bedroom closets. The options for self-care and pampering are plenty in your new home. The third-floor bathroom features a shower with pastoral embossed tiles, white marble floors and walls, wainscoting, and chrome accents. The second-floor bathroom, recently renovated, includes a rainfall shower with mosaic-framed window and double-sink vanity. A linen closet adjacent to the washroom provides more than sufficient storage for plush towels, sheets, and a luxurious robe or two. The English basement can be used as an enormously spacious bedroom with high ceilings, and is home to a full bathroom with tub, a laundry room and abundance of closet space. There is also direct access to both the front garden area, and side and back yards with privacy landscaping. Cool in summer and warm in winter, your townhouse includes radiator heating and mini-split A/C units throughout. Merely steps away from the green landscapes of Prospect Park and Litchfield Villa, your home is within walking distance of the Seventh and Fifth Avenues and access to the vibrant Park Slope shopping district. Other nearby amenities include Grand Army greenmarkets, the Park Slope Food Co-op, and further afield Whole Foods. The B/Q and F/G at 7th Avenue and the 2/3 at Grand Army Plaza offer access to downtown Manhattan in 35 minutes.

Park Slope | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Boasting beautiful tree-lined streets, brownstones and a range of activities for all age groups, Park Slope is consistently ranked as one of New York’s most desirable neighborhoods. Filled with lush parks and greenery, the neighborhood is also known for its rare combination of excellent public schools, award-winning restaurants, nightlife, small independently owned businesses and community gardens.

Situated at the western slope of Prospect Park, the neighborhood is divided into different sections: North Slope, Center Slope and South Slope. Depending on who you ask, of course, the definitions of where these borders end and begin may vary (is the divide between North and Center deemed Union Street, Garfield Place, 1st Street or 3rd Street? The one between Center and South 6th Street, 9th Street, 11th Street or 15th Street?). 

Regardless of what part of the Slope you find yourself on, there’s no shortage of architectural beauty. From row houses to brownstones to mansions, the idyllic setting of the neighborhood is further enhanced by its Romanesque and Renaissance Revival styles. Case in point of this is also two of the area’s most well-known churches, Park Slope United Methodist Church and Saint Augustine Roman Catholic Church. 

Revered for its family-friendly appeal, Park Slope is often regarded as one of the best places to raise a family in New York City. That said, it doesn’t mean that parents don’t know how to have a good time... a slew of bars constantly opening in the neighborhood ranging from the high-end cocktail saloon to the dive (well, by Park Slope standards, anyway).
