Beyond is a stunning eat-in chef's kitchen that is every cook’s dream. With an oversized window on one side, French doors leading directly to the back patio on the other, and a custom skylight, the south-facing space is gloriously flooded with sunlight all day long. Every detail of this beautifully appointed kitchen was carefully thought out, featuring a BlueStar 48" Platinum Series 8-burner Range, endless storage with abundant walnut cabinetry and built-ins, and custom backsplash design with Mercury Mosaic tiles.

A center staircase from the first level ascends to the sleeping quarters on the upper two, each floor encompassing 2 large bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. A fully finished English basement offers bonus space and is ideal for a media room, guest suite, play area, or gym. It also comes complete with a full bathroom, washer-dryer, and plenty of additional storage.
Fully gut renovated, the house was designed for classic yet contemporary taste. Some of the many home improvements include:

PS 321 is down the street, and the 2/3/B/Q/F/G subway lines are also close by. Don’t miss your chance to own this gracious and perfect home on an idyllic block in prime Park Slope!

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).
