Enter on the parlor level through a classic set of original wood doors where you will find the spacious living room complete with high ceilings, a marble gas fireplace, hardwood floors and a beautiful oversized window with built in seating. Additional east-facing windows - a rare feature among Park Slope brownstones - ensure abundant natural light throughout the home. Past the living room is an expansive eat-in chef's kitchen featuring multiple sinks with Grohe fixtures, La Cornue oven, Fisher Paykel and Miele dishwashers (one in the main kitchen and one in the galley-style scullery), built-in Wolf microwave, built-in Miele Coffee Maker, and a lovely gas fireplace. Light fills the space from South-facing floor-to-ceiling windows at the rear of the house. The kitchen opens onto a spacious glass-floored deck, which flows down to the back garden. The deck features an outdoor kitchen with a built-in Wolf grill.

The primary bedroom suite on the third floor is a sanctuary of luxury with a beautiful curved-glass bay window with built-in seating overlooking historic President Street. A large walk through closet leads to the oversized and well-appointed primary bathroom with soaking tub, Mr. Steam shower, dual sinks and a wall of closets.

The fourth floor has a wonderful layout. Two bedrooms face the garden and share a hall bathroom. The large third bedroom with ensuite bathroom is currently used as the playroom. A full-size vented washer/dryer is also found on this level.

The garden apartment is very inviting with an oversized window and wall of built-ins. The large bedroom leads out to the blissful backyard patio enveloped by lush greenery.

The basement features a beautifully designed wine cellar, and offers additional laundry facilities, great storage and the home's mechanicals. 878 President Street boasts new electric, plumbing, central HVAC system, and Control 4 Smart Home integration, this home offers modern convenience at every turn.

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).
