31 8th Ave, 2

The ultimate urban oasis in the heart of North Park Slope. This sophisticated two-bedroom home underwent a rarely seen top-of-the-line renovation in early 2012, and is replete with bespoke detail, an exclusive terrace and a private landscaped garden with blossoming cherry tree. Occupying the parlor floor of a 5-unit brownstone co-op, this flawless, exciting home features 11-foot ceilings, exposed whitewashed brick, a private entrance and central air conditioning. The living room includes a wood-burning fireplace, an exposed wood beam, stained glass windows, custom shelving by Brooklyns own Atlas Industries and lighting by George Nelson & Atelier de Troupe. The kitchen is complete with custom ceiling-height cherry cabinets, extra-wide Carrara marble counters, Franke sink and KWC faucet, with appliances by Liebherr, Miele and Futuro Futuro. The bathroom boasts Hansgrohe and Montreaux fixtures, Jielde lighting, a Duravit sink, a soaking tub, and a vintage-design medicine cabinet by Restoration Hardware. The vast master bedroom, accessed through a custom mirrored French door, overlooks the terrace through another set of French doors. With three closets, one of which is a custom walk-in, and extra-deep & high cabinets above each closet, there is ample storage in this home. A fourth closet contains a stacked, vented washer-dryer. The second bedroom features two walls of windows and a skylight. Outside, the apartment offers an additional ~800 square feet of private outdoor space. The garden was landscaped and hardscaped in 2015 by the Artists Garden. Enjoy the hydrangeas, hostas, trees and other foliage as it continues to take root in the years to come. The garden is wired with in-ground lights for nighttime illumination and two Bose speakers for sound. The apartment also features 6 in-ceiling Bose and Boston Acoustics speakers in the living area, bathroom and master bedroom. This small, friendly co-op building allows generous basement storage, under-the-stoop bike storage, and the main hallway of the building may be used for stroller parking and packages - all at no additional cost. Pets allowed on approval. The prime location has the advantages of both Park Slope and Prospect Heights; it is close to 2/3 and B/Q trains, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Library, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Frannys, Caf Regular, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Ample Hills Creamery to name just a few neighborhood favorites.
