Property Description for 511 12th Street, 2-L

Prospect Park at your door!

Introducing unit 2L at 511 12th St. This sunny 1 bedroom offers classic charm, versatility, and quiet space in an elegant prewar limestone building. Just one flight up, the home is bathed in natural light from three exposures and features a thoughtfully designed layout with a separate windowed dining area, expansive living space, oversized bedroom, and excellent storage throughout.

An exposed brick woodburning fireplace anchors the living and dining space, while high ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and classic picture frame moldings on the walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere. With a north/south exposure the living area boasts tons of natural light all day long. The updated kitchen blends style and functionality with a butcher block prep area and stainless-steel appliances, including a full-sized dishwasher. The second largest of four closets is at the far end of the kitchen, allowing for easy storage.

Spanning the full length of the building from front to back, the apartment offers an uncommon sense of space and privacy. At the front of the home, the oversized bedroom overlooks a quiet and picturesque tree-lined park block through beautiful bay windows. A custom-built desk and storage below adds functionality to bedroom. The adjoining walk-in closet is remarkably large - so much so that some residents have converted similar spaces into dedicated home offices or added in unit laundry here. At the center of the home a windowed bathroom has been tastefully updated with timeless finishes.

Additional highlights include basement laundry and private storage. The building is pet friendly and permits subletting with board approval. Perfectly positioned just half a block from Prospect Park and moments from the F and G trains, surrounded by some of Brooklyn's best restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood amenities, this home offers the rare combination of tranquility, convenience, and classic Brooklyn character.

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).
