Property Description for 873 President Street
Brooklyn grandeur at its finest exists in this special trophy house that is beyond compare! The magnificent single-family jewel set on a 35'x100' lot in prime Park Slope boasts a spacious 27' width and your own private driveway, perfect for parking your car. Built in 1878, this architectural gem was designed by Stachlin & Steiger in a style reminiscent of a small country villa. Â
873 President Street is located on an exceptional tree-lined block, moments from Brooklyn's best attractions. Interiors are spectacular, melding rich original features with luxurious modern upgrades desired by the discerning buyer. A lovely landscaped front courtyard and enormous, lush rear patio and garden heighten the allure. Light pours into the 4-story stunner from oversized windows on triple exposures. Among the awe-inspiring elements are exquisite original crown moldings, pocket doors and fireplaces throughout, all original woodwork on the first 3 levels, gorgeous hardwood floors, and beautiful Bradbury & Bradbury wallpaper enriching the ambience.
The spacious garden floor invites comfort and has something for everyone with a playroom and media room/home office. Here you'll also find a charming garden-facing bedroom, full bath with shower, and convenient laundry room. The parlor floor is a masterpiece with soaring ceilings and a gracious layout for entertaining.
The front parlor/living room is brightened by a bay window and graced by a decorative marble fireplace. Original pocket doors with etched glass open to a generous dining room with another marble fireplace for hosting guests. Adjacent sits a sun-filled chef's kitchen appointed with elegant wood cabinetry, a center island with seating, dual sinks, and a suite of premium Thermador stainless steel appliances including a 6-burner professional range with vented hood. Enjoy coffee in the breakfast area that can fit a large table and has a bay window with built-in seat. Also on this level is a guest powder room, and access to the outdoor deck and huge yard with built-in BBQ for grilling.  Â
On the third story are 3 bedrooms and a full bath with double sinks. One bedroom is very sizable with a decorative marble fireplace and walk-in closet. Secondary bedrooms have 2 exposures; plus, there's a handsome library with marble mantle, built-in bookshelves, and windows with pocket shutters. Â
The entire top floor is reserved for the primary bedroom suite, with flooring made from the pilings in Boston Harbor. This incredible retreat offers vaulted ceilings, a sitting area with wood-burning fireplace, amazing storage with a wall of closets and separate walk-in. The spa-like bath indulges with radiant heat, a steam shower, deep soaking tub and separate sinks. A secondary laundry room is also found on this level.Â
Other highlights include a working dumbwaiter, a basement with a gym, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, additional storage and mechanicals, upgraded electrical and plumbing, and 4-zone heating and central air-conditioning. Moments away is Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Union Market, and access to the Q/B and 2/3 subway lines.

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).
