Property Description for 40 Prospect Park West, 5-A
THE MOST MAGNIFICENT TOP FLOOR COOP ON THE MARKET TODAY!
A Rare Find
This much sought-after, park-facing, two-bedroom, two-bath corner co-op spans nearly 1,300 square feet and has been completely reimagined by the famed design firm Space Exploration. Boasting a spectacular layout and treetop views from every window, it's the only apartment of its kind currently on the market. If you're seeking a flawless combination of location, space, views, and light in a well-established and financially sound pre-war elevator co-op, look no further - you've found your new home.
All The Space You Could Need
As you enter this palatial park-side showstopper, a stunning foyer welcomes you. There is a custom walk-in California closet, custom white oak built-in bookshelves, and a stunning custom oak arched doorway that leads to the formal dining room, where top-of-the-line Schumacher wallpaper adds an elegant touch.
Chic Galley Kitchen
The chic galley kitchen is adorned with custom white oak cabinets, cabinet pulls by Devol, Calacatta marble backsplash and countertops, plus built-in, top-of-the-line appliances, including a Subzero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and Bertazzoni oven.
The palatial and bright living room easily accommodates your favorite deep sectional - this space will make you wonder how you ever got by with less.
Your Own Sanctuary
Just adjacent to the dining room, you will find two magnificent and pristine bedrooms. Both bedrooms are separate from the living spaces and are bright, spacious, and oh-so-quiet. The primary bedroom features two leafy park exposures, ample room for a king-size bed, custom wallpaper by Calico, and a flawless Level 5 paint finish. The en-suite bathroom has been thoughtfully upgraded with a custom Calacatta turquoise sink, a custom mirror, and hand-painted tadelakt walls, while the original shower and flooring have been preserved. The second bedroom also faces the park and can comfortably fit multiple beds or be used as a work or play space. Both bedrooms offer an ideal retreat, ensuring tranquility and privacy while enjoying serene views of the stunning Prospect Park.
Storage for Days
The primary bedroom features a custom walk-in California Closet, providing ample storage and organization. The second bedroom offers a generously sized, traditional closet. The unit also comes with basement storage (for a small fee), a city-living essential.
Other Notable Features
White oak herringbone floors throughout
Lighting fixtures by Atelier De Troupe, Allied Maker, and In Common
Brand new classic crown moldings, picture moldings, arched door openings, and a flawless, skim coated, Level 5 paint finished doors and walls throughout

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).
