Property Description for 244 12th Street
Magnificent and modern style and indoor-outdoor living meet in this breathtaking convertible three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom gut renovated and expanded Park Slope townhouse. Impeccable interiors and enchanting outdoor space make this house one you won't forget.
Meticulously reimagined inside and out, this home is at once sophisticated and relaxed, pristine and welcoming. Open layouts maximize sunlight and leafy views while edgy concrete details deliver a striking contrast to original architectural detail. Arrive on the parlor floor where the chic living room features a bold fireplace and a light-as-air Isamu Noguchi lamp. Blonde wide-plank floors usher you into the open chef's kitchen filled with reclaimed open shelving, a vast waterfall island, sleek cabinetry and professional-grade stainless appliances. Over the dining area, a David Weeks chandelier appears as birds hoping to take flight out the floor-to-ceiling wall of glass to the tranquil garden below. An industrial detailed powder room and coat closet complete this well-planned level.
Above, two bright bedrooms share a massive and beautiful, sky-lit Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub, glass rain shower and wide trough concrete sink. The front bedroom features custom wallcoverings that mirror the treetop views outside. The back bedroom boasts vaulted ceilings, a wall of closets and a huge private terrace laid with Brazilian Ipe wood decking.
Head down the restored central staircase to the stunning garden floor where folding glass doors open entirely to the picture-perfect yard. Ipe fencing and built-in seating surround patio and lawn areas while tall trees and landscaping add the perfect amount of greenery to the soothing sanctuary. Currently configured as a playroom and den with concealed storage, a laundry room and full bathroom, this full-floor space could easily accommodate the addition of a private owner's suite, guest bedroom, or any other use, without sacrificing comfort.
Located mid-block on a tree-lined Park Slope street, this outstanding home offers the ideal mix of residential serenity and easy access to renowned local dining, nightlife and shopping. Sprawling Prospect Park and two fantastic YMCA locations are within blocks, providing abundant outdoor space and recreation. The F, G and R trains, and the Prospect and Gowanus Expressways are minutes from your door, putting the rest of the city within easy reach.

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).
