228 17th Street

This stately four story townhouse located in Park Slope Brooklyn has been lovingly cared for and is already configured as a 3400sf single family home. The impressive scale of this house is nicely balanced with many details from the original build which combine for a truly warm expression of townhouse living. Upon entering the vestibule, you're greeted with a grand parlor floor measuring 40' deep with 11' ceilings as well as a separate windowed study and a central hall staircase. Details abound here with two working pocket doors and large double hung windows that overlook the South facing garden. The two original slate mantels and beautifully intact ceiling medallions convey a real sense of history & grace to what will surely be the focal point of your new home. The master suite occupies the entire third floor of the house, set up with a rear master bedroom connecting to the front room that now functions as a den. However, this room can easily convert back to another stand alone bedroom and may also be combined with the adjoining windowed home office. On this floor you'll also find a large windowed bath as well as extensive closet and storage space. The top floor of the house has an identical footprint with two large bedrooms, a windowed home office space and another full bath. Brilliant light abounds here all day through south facing windows and the sky light. The garden level of the home has a large eat in kitchen that exudes country chic and open directly to your south facing garden. A large formal dining room connects directly to the kitchen and features another original mantel. There's also a winowed half bathroom on this floor. The basement is nicely finished with new heating mechanicals, a vented washer dryer unit as well as tons of extra storage space. The block itself is a lovely brownstone lined street just off of trendy 5th Avenue. There's a tremendous convenience factor here as well with the Prospect Avenue R Train stop right at the corner which gets you to Wall Street in just 25 minutes.
