Property Description for 604 2nd Street

A half block from Prospect Park, this classic high stooped brownstone was designed in 1903 by Brooklyn architect Benjamin Driesler. The L-shaped stoop, curved 3-window bay and metal cornice are examples of both the Romanesque Revival and neo-Classical architectural styles used in the period. Interior details include oak and bird's eye maple woodwork, wainscoting, parquet floors with intricate inlaid borders, beautiful stained glass windows and pocket doors. The house has six decorative fireplaces which include columned mantels, over-mirrors, and tiled or onyx surrounds. Other highlights are original pier mirrors, dressing rooms, and decorative plaster ceiling detail.

A beautiful oak staircase flanked by wainscoting and a intricately designed bannister greets you in the entranceway. Large pocket doors open up to the spacious double living room. Unique arched fretwork divides the space, blending in seamlessly with original columns and moldings.

A large decorative fireplace with golden onyx surround is the centerpiece of the formal dining room, featuring a coffered ceiling and built-ins with leaded-glass doors. Vintage fixtures illuminate the space and the original hand-painted wall coverings. Beautiful pocket doors and leaded stained glass complete the elegant picture.

A galley kitchen is followed by an ample pantry with back staircase access to the common laundry room, WC, and garden.

The upper two floors include five bedrooms, two full baths, four decorative fireplaces, and a stained glass skylight illuminating the top floor hall.

The garden level currently consists of a 1 bedroom apartment. The home can easily be converted into a grand 1-family residence.

Near Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, and Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Convenient to all transportation, shopping, and restaurants. Zoned for PS 321 School District.

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).
