Property Description for 401 17th Street

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Simply Beautiful. It's rare to find a fully detached single family home in Park Slope, with a 25' x 100' lot. This one is simply divine and expansive in size.

A wood-burning fireplace, exposed brick, gorgeous wide-board oak flooring and tin ceilings are just some of the beautiful features you'll find here.

You'll enjoy relaxing in the spacious living room with its gorgeous exposed brick, decorative fireplace mantel, and convenient custom shelving.

Entertain to your heart's content - the dining room is picture perfect and provides an elegant yet homey space to dine. It has a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace, with exposed brick and three entry points.

The windowed eat-in-kitchen with two exposures is a place where the family can gather and enjoy a meal, do homework or play games at the table. Beyond spacious, it has original tin ceilings, terracotta floors, and a decorative backsplash with hand painted tiles from Portugal. There is an enormous pantry as well.

The first floor has a full laundry room with plenty of storage. And there is a pretty white bathroom on this level too.

Easy access from the kitchen to the backyard allows you to have the outdoors at your fingertips - you can dine on the lovely deck, garden, and there is also a pool for your swimming pleasure.

The second floor is currently set up with 3 bedrooms (2 of them expansive in size). Need a 4th bedroom? It's easy to create a 4 bedroom, by splitting one of them into two. (Please see the alternate floorplans.) It also has a lovely bathroom with a clawfoot tub.

The master bedroom is sublime. It's a combination of two rooms and a true retreat. You'll have room for luxuriating, inclusive of a sitting room and/or a home office all in one--that's for you to decide. Plus it has two exposures, and tons of closet space. The back bedroom is huge, with the original tin ceilings and it has closets that span each side of the room. This can be split in half (see the alternate floorplan) providing a 4th bedroom. The middle bedroom can hold a twin bed, a dresser, and a desk.

The first floor has a convenient hallway, that separates the living room and dining room. And it provides access to the windowed, above grade basement, as well as another point of egress. Easily finished, the basement would provide a great recreation room. The mechanicals are in good shape too.

A botanical lover's delight - it has not only a large backyard but also a huge front yard - 20' long. It's easy to be a gardener here.

Please note: this home is spacious as is, yet there is additional FAR due to its large lot. This provides the potential to add/build approximately 1600 square feet of space. Consult with your architect for specifics.

Superbly located in South Park Slope, it's close to F/G/R trains, Prospect Park, Prospect Park West and all amenities on 7th Ave, Prospect Park West and 5th Ave. And, it's down the block from P.S. 10. This won't last. Showings start at Sunday's open house.

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).
