525 2nd Street

Originally built in 1901, 525 2nd Street is a brick & carved limestone two-family townhouse ideally located between 7th and 8th Avenues in prime Park Slope. Gut renovated by its current owner, the house spans approximately 4,000 square feet across four floors, plus a fully built out home gym + home office in the building’s basement. Currently configured as an owner’s triplex over a large garden 1-bedroom, the property is built 20 feet wide by 45 feet deep with a rear extension on both the garden and parlor levels. Nestled on a gorgeous tree lined block just moments from Prospect Park and zoned for PS 321, 525 2nd presents a unique opportunity to purchase a fully renovated home in a coveted Park Slope address. Major curb appeal sets the tone for this wow factor home. Up the stoop one can appreciate the stately and grand facade, which is in pristine condition. Enter the home and you are welcomed by a dramatic parlor level which features original woodwork, moldings, wainscotting and a loft-like entertaining area consisting of separate living and dining spaces, a powder room and a crisply renovated Henry Built kitchen. Equipped with state of the art appliances including a 42” Sub Zero refrigerator, Wolf oven, range and hood and a Miele speed oven, the kitchen is a room of its own and is wrapped in massive windows overlooking the private garden and a deck off of the dining room. French doors open out onto the deck which features a plumbed gas line and grill and access to the 800 square foot private garden. The second floor features two large bedrooms and a third interior room which can easily function as a playroom or guest bedroom. There is a windowed renovated bathroom on this level with a shower/tub combo. The top floor of the house encompasses the primary suite. The bedroom area spans the entire width of the house, features a separate seating area and is also connected to a massive walk-in closet. A skylit corridor leads to a gut renovated five fixture primary bathroom which features a large rain shower, a deep soaking tub overlooking the garden, double vanity, reclaimed wood detail and radiant heated carrara marble floors. There is also a separate home office on this floor. The professionally landscaped garden features wi-fi controlled irrigation and is wired for sound, electricity and lighting. Below the triplex is a large garden one bedroom that is currently being used as an extension of the upper unit. It could easily be rented out upon closing or can be retained as additional space for the owner’s benefit. The basement is unlike most, and has been superbly renovated and configured as a state of the art home gym with a Landice L7 treadmill, mirrored wall, a ballet barre, ceiling anchors, full ethernet and a wine refrigerator. Arched brick detail, polished concrete floors and a fully functional work space make this level of the home highly valuable. 525 2nd Street features all new mechanicals from 2018, new landmarked windows, central HVAC, smart home wiring throughout, radiant heated floors in the kitchen, kids bathroom and entry vestibule and a fully integrated alarm system throughout the house.
