Property Description for 451 8th Street

This Beautiful Brownstone Townhouse situated on one of the prettiest tree-lined land-marked blocks in Park Slope invites you Home! This Brownstone Beauty is a legal two family home currently being used as an elegant and spacious 3/4 bedroom, 3.5 bath single family home. Up the stoop, you enter through beautiful double doors and are greeted by a double parlor living room replete with sumptuous details including parquet floors, period window casings and shutters, picture moldings, a beautiful marble mantle, an ornate ceiling medallion and 11 foot ceilings. Passing through the front parlor you enter the light filled rear parlor, serving as the dining room and kitchen, again replete with more wonderful details including original stained glass, and another marble mantle. Entertaining indoors, outdoors or both is effortless with a beautifully renovated kitchen with modern kitchen appliances, an open and adjacent dining area, a powder room, and a roomy steel deck with spiral stairs leading down to the beautiful bluestone patio that is the length of the entire rear garden. From this parlor floor up the stairs to the third floor are two bedrooms which share a full bath with washer and dryer and a well-proportioned master suite with full bath, walk-in closet and beautiful built-in bookcases. Back down to the garden level there is a spacious living room with wet bar and an office/den which could easily be used as a fourth bedroom, and another full bath. Finally downstairs from the garden level is the fully finished full height basement which offers so many possibilities for additional play space, storage, and more. The house is in great condition, central air conditioning, a new furnace and boiler have been installed. Located on land-marked 8th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues, you are less than two blocks from Prospect Park and less than a block from bustling 7th Avenue, abound with boutiques & shops, cafes & restaurants. Showings begin Monday July 6th.

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).
