285 11th Street

Brimming with charm, this legal 2-family townhouse, currently enjoyed as a spacious single-family, sits on one of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks in Park Slope! The 3 stories of spacious, elegant living quarters are complemented by a large, lovely rear patio garden oasis, and a lower level with recreation space, a workshop, and tons of storage. Approaching the home you are greeted by a gated, planted forecourt affording entry to the garden level, and a stoop to the parlor. Once inside, youÂ’ll appreciate the incredible natural light pouring in from tall windows, and wonderful classic touches reflective of the circa 1893-built home such as walls of exposed brick, hardwood floors, three working wood burning fireplaces and airy ceilings. The sun-bathed garden level affords a perfect setting for relaxing with loved ones and entertaining in comfort and style. An open-concept living and dining room connects to the well-designed eat-in kitchen with state of the art stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and a serving counter. Adjoining is a convenient powder room for guests, and a full-size windowed laundry room with a door leading out to the private patio for al fresco dining, and lush garden area beyond. On the parlor level is another living area with a working fireplace, sizable master bedroom with dressing area, separate walk in closets, and a windowed full bath and linen pantry. The third story features a generous landing with two skylights which now serves as an office area but can make an ideal homework station or play area too. This level also presents 2 large bedrooms with walk-in closets, an office/nursery, and windowed full bath with double sinks. Located on highly desirable 11th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues, this attractive home is close to shops, restaurants, services and subways. Take a stroll to 7th Avenue for even more great offerings, and past that to Prospect Park for a fun day out in nature.
