Property Description for 1676 8th Ave

Your very own Park Slope Townhouse! This charming single-family home is the perfect alternative to apartment living—no noise from the upstairs neighbors, pets allowed, your own washer/dryer, the freedom to bbq in your own backyard, and no more House Rules! There is a lot to love about this South Slope house built in 1916: original details, wide-plank floors, oversized windows, arched doorways, and high ceilings.The first floor of this quaint home includes a nicely proportioned living room with massive windows and original stone mantle, a windowed dining room, and a spacious kitchen with exposed brick and french doors that lead to the south facing deck and private garden. The second floor has two bedrooms and a windowed bonus space off the bathroom. The master bedroom has tree-top views, a reading nook, two windows, and two large closets. The bright and sunny second bedroom overlooks the garden. The hotel-sized bathroom with skylight could be reconfigured to accommodate a double vanity and/or a separate stall shower. This is the ideal starter home located on a leafy block in the South Slope. Love the cozy footprint as is—or—with a little imagination and a great architect, convert this home to a modern 3 bedroom, 2 bath. There is enough FAR available to build up an additional 250 square feet and the full basement could be excavated to add an additional floor of living space. Perfectly situated between 7th Avenue and Prospect Park West where you will have your choice of great restaurants, cafes and boutiques. Currently zoned for PS 10. A few blocks to the the F/G train and beautiful Prospect Park.

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).
