Penthouse C - Historic Elegance Meets Modern Luxury Over Prospect Park
Welcome to Penthouse C, a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence with sweeping southeastern exposures over Prospect Park. Evoking the elegance of the 1920s, this 1,700-square-foot home combines meticulously restored prewar details with bespoke contemporary finishes.
The gracious entry foyer, with two closets and hand-laid reclaimed heart pine flooring, sets the tone for the craftsmanship throughout. A powder room off the foyer channels timeless prewar style with wainscoting, a Calacatta Nero marble-topped washstand, Waterworks chrome fixtures, beveled-edge mirror, and custom Workstead lighting.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is anchored by Estremoz marble countertops and backsplash, a cast-iron sink, fully integrated Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and custom paneled cabinetry by Workstead. Enhancements include additional custom shelving to maximize storage, pull-out shelving, and refined millwork details. Its deco-inspired design opens to an expansive living and dining area framed by dramatic windows with Prospect Park views, complete with motorized shades and window treatments throughout. A custom-built library and entertainment wall serves as the focal point of the living space, featuring backlit gallery-style bookshelves, concealed storage drawers, and refined millwork-perfectly balancing function and artistry.
The serene primary suite features oversized windows, a large walk-in closet with an adjustable Décor+ by Elfa storage system, and a statement oversized Japanese lantern fixture. The spa-like primary bath is clad in Novelda Cream limestone with Bianco Dolomite marble tile in the shower, Waterworks fixtures, a separate water closet, and pyramid-glass doors framed in powder-coated steel. A custom vanity topped in carved Calacatta Nero marble houses dual Duravit sinks, each paired with a mirrored medicine cabinet.
The secondary bedroom wing includes two bedrooms with adjustable Décor+ by Elfa closet storage systems, a concealed laundry closet with LG washer and dryer, and a full bath with a Calacatta Nero marble vanity and honed gray limestone mosaic floors.
Originally built at the height of the Jazz Age and recently reimagined, 1 Prospect Park West marries Classic Revival architecture with the refined aesthetic of acclaimed design studio Workstead. Residents enjoy a full suite of amenities, including a 24-hour attended lobby, library, children's playroom, and a rooftop oasis by ODA New York featuring an apple orchard, lounge terrace, sun deck, and full outdoor kitchen.

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).
