Property Description for 640 2nd Street

For location, detail and condition, this park block home could no better define the ultimate Brooklyn lifestyle. Located in a prime section of Park Slope just off Prospect Park West this four story townhouse is the quintessential Brooklyn brownstone. Presently configured as a one family townhouse the home can be easily converted to a owner's triplex with garden access over a high income rental. (See floor plan for optional configuration).

Perfectly located on the garden level is the elegantly designed and renovated kitchen with abundant prep space and two defined sitting areas. The front room on this floor could be used for more intimate dining or as family space. There is a fully renovated bathroom on this floor as well. The focal point of the home is clearly the spacious garden with vine covered arbor and bluestone pavers--so rare for park block houses and the bright southern views are equally stunning from both this floor and the floor above. The spacious parlor level with incredible detail provides lovely views to the limestone townhouses along Second Street with side views leading to the park. This floor can easily accommodate both family living and dining space if the prospective buyer prefers use as an owner's triplex with garden rental. The rear room with sunny southern views (currently used as an office) can equally accommodate a spacious galley kitchen with optional half bath.

The upper two floors of this townhouse provide five bedrooms and two renovated baths. A washer/dryer laundry closet on the top level (along with additional laundry in the lower level basement.) Buyers may wish to consider a terrace addition to the master floor with amazing treetop views of Prospect Park!

Abundant storage possibilities in the lower level basement which could equally house a wine cellar or additional recreational space. All utilities and mechanicals have been updated and perfectly located in the 321 school district and so close to Poly Prep's lower school.

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).
