Throughout the home, extra-wide, deep-scale rooms with grand proportions are paired with oversized triple-pane windows and a striking three-story turret, allowing natural light to flood the interiors and frame serene views toward the tree-lined, landmarked Montgomery Place and east toward Prospect Park. Designed in the late 1800s by renowned architect C. P. H. Gilbert, the home showcases his signature beautifully crafted facade, rich in dramatic detailing that lends the residence a sense of gravitas. An impressive broad stoop leads visitors toward the sun-filled parlor floor with soaring ceilings.
The garden level opens through a private entry door into a versatile living space defined by radiant heated floors, soapstone accents, and thoughtfully designed custom cabinetry. This level offers flexibility for recreation, storage, or guest use, continuing the home's seamless blend of function and refinement.
The recreation room includes a BenQ projector and integrated ceiling speakers, transforming the space into a private theater. An adjacent bathroom features a Carrara marble-topped vanity, and the laundry room offers solid-wood cabinetry, Carrara counters, and Samsung washer and dryer units.
Ascending to the parlor floor, a floating staircase leads to an elegant platform-a truly unique architectural feature. The expansive parlor level preserves much of the opulent original dining room paneling while introducing contemporary design elements.
The dining area features an Art Deco-inspired wet bar with Calacatta Vagli Gold stone, brass detailing, a beveled brass sink, custom cabinetry, a built-in Edgestar wine refrigerator, and a Summit ice machine. A one-of-a-kind Form LA marble dining table, custom built for the space, anchors the room beneath a sculptural Lindsey Adelman light fixture.
The chef's kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry with architectural detailing, Maya Quartzite countertops, Wolf ovens, a convection oven, a microwave, Miele dishwashers, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator with freezer drawers. Waterworks fixtures, pantry pull-outs, custom Oxford Street counter stools, and brass switches and hardware by Buster + Punch complete the space. Extra-high custom triple-pane Ikon patio doors open directly to the parlor deck, creating a seamless transition for dining, entertaining, or quiet mornings outdoors.
The third floor centers on a spacious family room with original refurbished window paneling and a rear skylight. An adjacent powder room features design flourishes and radiant heated floors. Two bedrooms on this level serve as serene retreats, each with en suite full bathrooms featuring Carrara marble-topped vanities, Kohler fixtures, penny tile accents, and radiant heated floors. A Miele washer and dryer with custom built-ins are also located on this floor for added convenience.

The spa-inspired primary bath features a custom 18-foot-long Cambria Delgatie vanity, cement sinks, chrome fixtures, Nemo tile flooring, and an oversized rain shower. A dedicated office on this level provides a quiet workspace, complete with custom Ikon patio windows and a kitchenette/coffee station seamlessly integrated into custom built-in wall storage. A Sub-Zero wine refrigerator and Bertazzoni dishwasher allow for effortless entertaining on the adjoining outdoor spaces without the need to travel downstairs.
Beyond the office, a meditation nook leads outside to a private landscaped terrace designed to accommodate chaise lounges, sectional seating, and extensive irrigated plantings. Crowning the home above is a sweeping roof deck with sculpted planting beds and natural grass accents, offering panoramic vistas across Prospect Park to the Manhattan skyline-an extraordinary setting for alfresco entertaining or peaceful retreat.

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).
