75 8th Ave

Location, Location, Location! Design your dream home steps from glorious Prospect Park in the center of Park Slope’s historic district on coveted 8th Avenue. Bring your architect and designer to assist in the transformation and restoration of this fabulous piece of Brooklyn brownstone history! Make your way up the dogleg steps with garden ornamentation and take in an impressive Queen Anne facade with ashlar stone featuring original wood-carved arched front doors with beveled glass, and be greeted by two friendly gargoyle sconces just before entering the home. The first of many graceful transom windows is an exceptional way to enter 75 8th Ave. Once in the foyer, you’ll appreciate the craftsmanship of the original hand-carved wood pier mirror and staircase. The parlor-garden-cellar triplex apartment is the star of the home adorned with five of the whopping eleven hand-carved wood fireplaces the home has to offer. Multiple decorative wood transoms, cornices, ceiling medallions, plaster wall ornamentation, built-in cabinetry, stained glass, and inlaid hardwood floors illuminate the space. The second and third-floor 1-bedroom apartments feature west-facing views and the top-floor apartment is a 2-bedroom. The second, third, and fourth apartments each host two fireplaces, ample built-in closet space, crown molding, ceiling medallions, and inlaid hardwood floors. Not available since the 1970s, 75 8th Ave is on a 20 x 100 lot with 20 x 55 building dimensions. The ideal canvas for creating your dream home or ripe for a condo conversion, the property requires a gut renovation. The home is vacant. Full income and expense statements are available upon request. Situated one block from Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza, a few blocks from 2/3/B/Q trains, and near the bustling shops of 7th and Vanderbilt Avenues, the Park Slope Food Coop, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. 75 8th Ave is truly a celebration of Brooklyn brownstone history and should not be missed!
