A dramatic 35-foot gallery — wide enough to accommodate a sitting area, a console, or both — features original herringbone hardwood floors that flow seamlessly into the grand living room, where sweeping northeast sky views and bright, airy light create an elegant setting. The west-facing, spacious formal dining room, highlighted by beautiful French doors, comfortably seats fourteen or more. Through the butler's pantry, the windowed kitchen offers generous workspace and storage, along with an adjacent convertible bedroom. A washer in the half bath adds everyday convenience.
A private bedroom wing is anchored by an oversized primary suite with northeast exposure and a windowed en suite bath filled with western light. A spacious secondary bedroom and an additional windowed bathroom complete this area. Both bedrooms enjoy open views across the neighborhood's iconic brownstones. The two-and-a-half baths are ready for updating, offering an opportunity to tailor them to your taste. Other updates will further enhance this classic prewar home.

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).
