Property Description for 708 8th Ave, 2-R

This captivating two bedroom, one and a half bath pre-war home offers you a peaceful retreat right in the heart of beautiful Park Slope. Spanning the full length of the charming building, this appealing home features sunny eastern and western exposures and lots of light. The front living room is a true “wow!” with it’s stately bay window front a *working* wood-burning fireplace with handsome exposed brick mantel-- time to curl up in front of some crackling logs and a good book! The recently updated kitchen is laid out with excellent cabinet space, crisp white Caesarstone counters, subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. A separate dining room has more than enough space for a six-seater table, includes a substantial closet, and could potentially be converted to a third bedroom if desired (other units in the building have made the conversion). The two windowed bedrooms are both generously sized with ample closeting and overhead compartments providing out-of-season storage. The half-bathroom has an in-unit stacked and vented washer/dryer, and there’s a freshly appointed full bathroom, as well. The apartment also comes with a large dedicated basement storage area included (& room for bikes). Featuring numerous recent updates, this eight unit self-managed co-op is long on Brooklyn charm. There’s room off the lobby for stroller or scooter parking. It’s both pet friendly and FIOS ready. And with no underlying mortgage, the building maintenance covers heat, hot water, common area cleaning, and garbage/recycling removal. Perfectly situated on tree-lined 8th Avenue between 7th and 8th streets, you’re only a block away from the F/G lines and the rambling sylvan fields of Prospect Park. Come see it and make it yours today!

Park Slope | Brooklyn

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).
