Property Description for 226 6th Ave

Welcome to 226 6th Avenue, a masterfully renovated single-family home that seamlessly marries the 1880s charm with contemporary sophistication. Nestled in the heart of Park Slope, this exquisite residence offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a finished basement, and a spectacular roof deck. Perfectly positioned between Carroll and President Streets, it boasts serene garden views and picturesque sunsets over Manhattan and the iconic St. Francis Xavier Church.

The garden level opens with a flexible living or dining space featuring a decorative fireplace-tailor it to suit your lifestyle. The sun-drenched kitchen is a true highlight, with a wall of windows looking out to the garden and a large island that doubles as a dining table-ideal for everyday meals or homework. Step outside to a peaceful backyard oasis with a patio for al fresco dining and custom wooden planters, perfect for gardening.

On the parlor floor, the home's historic character shines through. Original entrance doors, period moldings, and beautifully preserved wood fireplace bring 19th-century elegance to life. Arched doorways and carved wood details add architectural richness, while the formal dining area, which comfortably seats ten, is flanked by two sunlit living areas with floor-to-ceiling windows.

The third floor hosts a spacious bedroom with a marble fireplace, an en-suite bath, a second bedroom, and a full hallway bathroom featuring a picture window. All bathrooms throughout the top three floors are finished with premium tile and fixtures, and feature heated floors for added comfort.

The top floor is dedicated to the luxurious primary suite, again with a marble mantle, complete with a walk-in rain shower, dual showerheads, and high-end fixtures. Bespoke lighting and flooring throughout the primary floor, as well as the entire home.

Just one flight up, a private roof deck offers sweeping views of Lower Manhattan, the surrounding neighborhood, and those unforgettable Brooklyn sunsets. The finished basement provides additional flexibility, with a full bath and a sunlit glass door to the garden. This space is ideal as a home theater, private gym, or office.

Fully renovated in 2015, the home features new plumbing, new electrical, new roofing, and central air throughout. High-end Tom Dixon lighting enhances this entire home, along with custom-designed flooring and five decorative fireplaces.

Located a block and a half from Union Market, and moments from the vibrant shops and restaurants of 5th and 7th Avenues, 226 6th Avenue enjoys a quiet residential feel with every convenience nearby. Zoned for PS 321 and surrounded by top private schools, it's also just three blocks from Prospect Park.

This is a rare opportunity to own a historic yet thoroughly modernized home in one of Brooklyn's most beloved neighborhoods.

Park Slope | Brooklyn

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).
