Property Description for 579 5th Street
Discover the rare elegance of 579 5th Street, a stunning 20’ wide Tudor-style townhouse on a 100’ deep lot, nestled in the coveted Park Slope Historic District. Built in 1903 as part of a distinguished row of 12 townhomes by Lane and Yeandle, this property evolved from a stately single-family home into a two-family residence with a doctor’s office in 1946, and finally into a legal three-family home in 1972—all while preserving its historic grandeur and adapting to modern needs.
The garden-level apartment offers a spacious floor-through layout with its own private entrance and exclusive access to the garden and a finished basement. Boasting 8.5-foot ceilings and two full bathrooms, it’s a serene retreat with thoughtful amenities.
The grand duplex spans the second and third floors, extending 70 feet from front to back. With soaring 10-foot ceilings, four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and elegant arched doorways, this space blends historic charm with modern luxury. Stained glass accents further elevate its timeless character.
The top two floors feature a bright two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, complete with a stunning roof terrace offering panoramic views of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Skylights bathe the space in natural light, enhancing its warmth and openness.
Modern comforts include washer-dryer units in each apartment, multiple gas fireplaces, and a newer gas boiler for year-round convenience. This versatile home is ideal as a residence with rental income or as a single-family conversion, offering a unique blend of historic architecture and contemporary living.

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).
