Property Description for 240 8th Street, 2-S

Welcome to 240 8th Street #2S -- a one-of-a-kind bright two-bedroom coop (currently configured with a three-bedroom layout) with 1.5 bathrooms and a DEDICATED PARKING SPACE - conveniently located in the coop's private gated + locked parking lot.

With ceilings soaring well over 10-feet in height, oversized windows that fill the apartment with warm light and cross breezes via rare triple exposures, exposed brick and beams throughout -- you've found the Park Slope pre-war dream.
Enter the apartment via a roomy foyer decked out with built-in storage nooks and a powder room. Once inside, relax in the expansive open-concept living space. The sunny living room features dual exposures and floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves and storage. There's plenty of room for a large dining table - the optimal layout for hosting festive gatherings or cozy dinners at home. The open-plan kitchen includes chic industrial wood details and stainless steel appliances all around. The spacious island countertop offers a long overhang for stools - the perfect kitchen design for entertaining or casual meals.

The primary bedroom includes a full wall of closet storage and tree-top views from dual exposures. The full bathroom offers a double vanity, radiant heat on the floors, deep soaking tub and abundant storage space. The second bedroom enjoys a leafy courtyard view. The office is a flexible additional room, currently outfitted with a built-in desk and loft.

Nestled in the historic Higgins Ink Building -- a 5-story former factory built in 1898, where the universal ink used around the world was once manufactured - this loft-like home presents a distinct opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn history. The coop boasts a unique common cobblestone courtyard - complete with lush trees and garden, a grill and outdoor furniture -- a shared space for social gatherings or your own quiet time. This coop also offers a complimentary "guest parking spot" for your visitor's car in the coop's private gated + locked parking lot. Additional amenities include: an elevator, common laundry, an oversized 8x8 storage unit for #2S and bike storage (all at no additional fee). Pets welcome upon board approval.

Located right off of vibrant 5th Avenue in the heart of Park Slope, enjoy the ease of having top-notch restaurants and boutique shopping right on your doorstep -- and the luxury of living close to Brooklyn's finest cultural attractions: Prospect Park, BAM, Barclays Center, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Public Library. The F/G/R trains, multiple bus lines and multiple Citibike stations are all less than two blocks away.

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).
