500 13th Street

Welcome to 500 13th Street, a beautifully preserved three-story townhouse, updated for modern living. This single-family house offers the best of old and new—with high ceilings, generously proportioned windows, original plaster moldings, pocket doors and flooring, as well as a bright, contemporary kitchen and modern baths. The house is in a perfect location, on a lovely treelined street, just half a block from Prospect Park. FIRST SHOWINGS April 10-11. All showings by appointment. Enter at the parlor floor to a tranquil living room with bay windows, center library, and a comfortable, sunny family room in the back. The original oak floors have been whitewashed for a more contemporary look. There’s also a home office on this floor (which could become a bedroom), as well as a full bathroom with a glass-walled shower and floor-to-ceiling storage closet. Downstairs you’ll find a sunny, modern kitchen with open dining area, large walk-in pantry, wide sliding glass doors opening to a south-facing garden with mature plantings, designed by noted landscape designer Foras Studios. Also on this floor is a large playroom or family room, a home office, and a roomy storage closet with a sliding barn door. On the top floor are four sunny bedrooms, a huge dressing room, and a bright, modern bath with skylight, tub and shower. Down below, there's a full semi-finished basement/rec room with a laundry area, 30 feet of storage cabinets, and two separate utility /storage rooms. Other features include: a new roof and solar panels, central air conditioning on the first floor. Steps away from neighborhood favorites like Provini, Ladybird bakery, and the Nitehawk Cinema. Half a block to Prospect Park, close to the bandshell and the Harmony Playground. Two blocks to the F & G trains at the 15th Street/Prospect Park station.
