480 13th Street, GARDEN

Calling all gardeners! This lovely 2 bedroom/1.5 bath brownstone duplex has its own private garden and is located just off Prospect Park in Park Slope. Enter on the ground floor through a private entrance which leads into a generous foyer. Off the foyer through the French doors you will encounter a gorgeously detailed living room, complete with hardwood floors and other original brownstone details such as wood shutters, decorative tiled/brick fireplaces, vintage sconces and light fixtures throughout, wood wainscotting and ornate ceiling plasterwork. The massive eat-in windowed kitchen features a mix of original wood cabinetry and has been updated with modern appliances such as a stainless steel refrigerator and stove, and a dishwasher. The vintage pot-bellied stove, now decorative, sits charmingly in the original brick fireplace in the kitchen. Just off the kitchen there is a small half bathroom and a sizeable separate laundry room, complete with side-by-side full-size washer and dryer. The back of the house also boasts a large storage/mudroom, conveniently located in between the kitchen and the garden. Climb the stairs to the second floor for access to the 2 massive bedrooms, both bursting with original details like tiled decorative fireplaces and wood-framed mirrors, wood shutters, tin ceilings and moldings on the walls. The full bathroom, also on the second floor, has a large original bathtub and a gorgeous stained glass window. Very close to the park, all the shopping and restaurants on 8th Avenue and the F train is just a few blocks away. Pets considered, available 9/1. 2-year lease preferred.
