Property Description for 615 3rd Street

This 4-story single family limestone is an architectural standout situated along the gold coast of historic Park Slope. Built in 1899 by noted Brooklyn architect-builder Peter J. Collins, it stands on one of the most coveted, Landmarked, tree-lined blocks in Park Slope. It's situated a half block from the famous bronze Panther monuments at the Third Street entrance to Prospect Park.

The 20' wide townhouse underwent a meticulous multi-year renovation, restoring all the original detail, including magnificent parlor columns, level-5 finishes, and stained glass skylight. Woodworking throughout is pristine and includes mahogany, Birdseye maple, and cherry.

The facade and interiors are impeccably maintained with a refined, yet traditional sensibility. Its living space currently boasts a square footage of 4500, configured as an upper triplex and a garden level apartment with a separate, private entrance.

There are 5 bedrooms with 4 ensuite bathrooms, and a powder room discreetly and conveniently located on the parlor level. The bedrooms are beautifully scaled to enjoy the full width of the house. Windows have impressive proportions, particularly in the primary suite, framing a delightful south-facing Juliet balcony. Natural light fills the house.

There are 3 intact wood burning fireplaces, two of which have an added gas component.

There are 2 private outdoor spaces to enjoy, including the rooftop, which is easily accessible through a bulkhead. This roof has been rebuilt with steel reinforcement and is equipped with water, electricity and gas. A rear bedroom in the garden unit provides access to a bluestone patio garden.

The home's depth was extended to include a stunning back parlor den with graceful east-facing stained glass windows.

Security cameras, Sonos audio, and multi-zoned temperature control throughout. A clean, brightly lit cellar measures the full footprint of the house providing abundant storage.

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).
