533 2nd Street

Four grand floors on Second Street! This townhouse, with a facade of slender pale brick, three sets of triple bays and terra cotta barrel roof tiles, sits 20-feet wide in the center of Park Slope and equidistant to both Seventh Avenue and Prospect Park. A grand stair wraps up three flights and allows each room to realize the full width of the building. The front entryway leads down the hall or into the living room where a first set of bay windows with stained glass and a decorative fireplace set the mood for an eminently livable yet architecturally rich home. A center study is the perfect spot for remote work or a quiet read while the formal dining room, strewn with light from double windows, is a welcome host for overdue dinner parties. The separate kitchen has two exposures and a terrific layout for meal prep. Granite countertops and a slate floor pair beautifully with white cabinetry. A door leads to the deck and stairs to the garden below. A powder room completes the parlor floor as a perfect living/entertaining level. The floor above hosts two extra-large bedrooms (one has access to a roof deck over the kitchen extension and the other a triple bay window) and center bath with laundry. The top floor features a large bedroom with a triple bay plus two additional bedrooms for guests, an au pair or another play space, and a full bathroom. The garden level -- with sliders that lead into the garden -- also has a large bathroom and can be used as guest quarters or additional work/fitness/play space. The back garden is lush and inviting, and the basement is open, has brick arches and good ceiling height. Second Street is in the heart of all that's coveted about Park Slope: P.S. 321, Prospect Park, coffee bars galore, enough great pizza to fight about, fine dining, locally owned stores, and so much more.
