On the parlor floor, the working WOODBURNING FIREPLACE serves as the focal point for the room. A lovely sitting area is adjacent the kitchen and dining area offering the perfect place to relax while keeping the chef company. The beautifully renovated kitchen has abundant storage and workspace with custom cabinetry, including a large pantry, a large island, soapstone countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a Viking range and hood, a Fisher & Paykel fridge and a Bosch dishwasher. Southern and northern exposure brings in lovely light no matter the time of day. The back door leads to a large deck. Overlooking the expansive and lush garden below, it would be hard to find a better place for morning coffee or to grill and dine al fresco.
On the second floor of the home you'll find an enormous primary suite spanning the entire floor. Three large south-facing windows plus a skylight bring in gorgeous light, while the beamed ceiling and exposed brick offer a rustic feel. Large closets line one side of the room, while the en suite bath features classic subway tile, a walk-in shower, pedestal sink, custom storage cabinet and a large skylight.
On the garden floor, which has its own entrance under the stoop, you'll find the den and the second bedroom. With views of the garden, the bedroom is quiet and tranquil. The bathroom is ingeniously split with the WC on one side of the hall and the shower and sink on the other, making both spaces feel roomy. A back "mudroom" offers great storage for outdoor gear and gardening needs.
Throughout the house you'll find hardwood floors and ductless mini-split air conditioning. Best of all, the verdant garden, measuring over 1000 square feet, has been beautifully landscaped with herringbone brick pavers framed by beds of blooming perennials, flowering shrubs, and lush greenery.
Located on 8th Street in the heart of Park Slope, the house is one block from the F, G, and R trains at 4th Avenue and 9th Street, a half block from 5th Avenue with all of its fabulous restaurants and shops, and just four blocks from Prospect Park. A better location is hard to find.

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).
