The unit's private parlor entrance features a vestibule (large enough to store bicycles and strollers) and the original grand staircase leading up to a gigantic eat-in-kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances (including dishwasher), an oversized island with breakfast bar, and plenty of space remaining for formal dining and/or seating. The powder room, adjacent to the kitchen, has been decorated with a white-stained wide plank floor tile and white vanity, and behind sliding doors includes a full-size washer/dryer.
Also on the same level, the grand living room off the kitchen has more than enough room for entertaining and boasts a bonus windowed nook perfect for an additional living or work space. Original wooden shutters and stained glass window details add to the old world charm. The living room also provides access to an extra large walk-in storage closet.
On the townhouse's top floor, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, another extra large walk-in storage closet and a full bath. The oversized master bedroom, which has the same gorgeous windows as the living room directly below, also features an original decorative fireplace mantle, plenty of closet space and the aforementioned third bedroom/home office, which can be accessed from the hallway as well.

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).
