The nicely renovated, sun-filled, eat-in kitchen with stainless appliances spills into an open adjacent area that is currently being used as a den. The well-organized pass-through closet area provides ample space for storage and leads to a large and sunny living room. Original tin ceilings and well-maintained planked pine floors bring warmth and nostalgia to these rooms. The bedroom is a small room located off of the living room, and it fits a full/queen size bed and a nightstand as well as a small work space (pictured). The layout of this apartment lends itself to several living configurations: if you prefer, you could also use the living room as a large loungey bedroom and the current bedroom as a separate and quiet work-from-home space instead.
The building is located on a quiet and leafy section of 7th Street that’s just around the corner from 5th Avenue, replete with all of the conveniences that Park Slope has to offer such as cafes, restaurants, salons, banks and grocery stores. The F/G and R trains are easily accessible from here as are the B63 and B61 bus lines. Heat and hot water are included in the rent. No pets, please.
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).
