449 11th Street

Built in 1889 by F & W Corrigan, 449 11th Street is an elegant brick 3-family townhouse nestled in the middle of a quiet, low-traffic, tree-lined block. The building’s facade features an array of Queen Anne and Neo-Grec style elements, including its original cast iron railings and fence, delicately incised motifs, and a truly beautiful wooden cornice. The original double doors are also intact, leading to an Eastlake-inspired entryway with an encaustic tile floor and beadboard wainscoting. This quintessential Park Slope townhouse can be easily adapted for use as a one or two-family home, or kept as a high-income 3-family with tremendous appreciation potential. Each of the three floor-through apartments is in excellent condition. High ceilings and large windows facing north and south bring light deep into each apartment all day long. The top floor windows in the back look out over the treetops and the lower-slung houses of 10th Street, providing a skyline view of Downtown Brooklyn in the distance. On the garden level you will find an English basement with windows in the front and back, which could easily accommodate a media room, rec room, office and many other uses. Steps lead out to a sunny and expansive backyard set amidst a very open and bucolic block-center. This is a wonderfully tranquil oasis from the bustle of Brooklyn, and a perfect place to relax, entertain and enjoy everyday life. As currently built across three floors, 449 11th Street spans almost 2,600 sf, not including the English basement. The building could be expanded with about 900 additional square feet in the backyard or on the roof. 449 11th Street is close to the best of Park Slope’s renowned restaurants, boutiques, and other amenities. Prospect Park is just two blocks away. The F/G trains are also two-blocks away and the N/R trains are close by for a quick commute to Manhattan and the rest of the city. Come see this classic Park Slope townhouse and make it the backdrop for your next chapter in Brooklyn.
