357 5th Street

On a beautiful tree-lined street in the heart of Park Slope, this 20’ wide single-family brownstone is the home you’ve been looking for. Three floors offer a huge amount of living space, along with a full height cellar and backyard garden.

Enter the parlor floor, with its 11-ft high ceiling, and find a large living room, a library and separate home office. Historic period details abound, including stunning marble fireplaces, etched glass pocket doors, original wood pocket shutters, ceiling medallions and a carved pier mirror bench. Sunlight streams in from the 8-ft southern facing windows. Off the library, a lovely balcony overlooks the serene backyard.

A separate entrance on the garden level leads to a large dining room, which can easily accommodate a den area, along with a powder room and a renovated eat-in kitchen complete with granite countertops, a decorative fireplace and a walk-in pantry! The 4-ft wide refrigerator and the dishwasher match the cherry wood cabinets. A garden room off the kitchen opens to the backyard patio.

There are three bedrooms on the upper floor. The primary bedroom, with an original marble fireplace, includes a huge walk-in closet/dressing room and an ensuite spa bath with a steam shower. The second bedroom also has a marble fireplace and walk-in closet. A third bedroom, a skylighted full bath with a soaking tub and three more closets complete this floor.

This lovely residence offers a myriad of possibilities, as it can easily be reconfigured into a four- or five-bedroom home.

357 5th Street is just a short walk from Prospect Park, and is perfectly situated near the shops, restaurants and markets of 5th and 7th Aves. It is zoned for PS 321.
