What sets the parlor level apart is a dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass wall overlooking a beautifully kept garden anchored by a striking Japanese Maple. The double-height glazing connects the parlor to the garden level below, drawing southern light deep into the home throughout the day. Oversized custom sliding doors at both levels make the transition between indoors and garden entirely seamless.
The primary suite occupies its own level, oriented south and outfitted with two walk-in closets and a refined bathroom featuring Hans Grohe fittings, custom Popham cement tiles, a white shower, and a custom birch vanity. A generous home office on this floor looks out into the treetops. White oak hardwood floors and soaring ceilings carry throughout, while triple-glazed Intus tilt-and-turn windows ensure the home is as quiet as it is beautiful.
Skylights flood the top floor with light, where two well-proportioned bedrooms, a dedicated laundry room with full-sized Samsung HE stackable units, and a flexible multipurpose area are arranged across the level. A full bathroom with skylight features a deep soaking tub and penny tile. A fully integrated Sonos and security system run seamlessly throughout the entirety of the home.
The garden level was excavated to achieve double-height ceilings at the rear, where the wall of glass frames the backyard and keeps the connection with the outdoors constant. Inside, polished concrete floors run through a media area, full bathroom, and home gym, with ample storage throughout. Outside, the garden offers multiple areas for play and entertaining, a built-in gas grill, and a small studio space - the kind of backyard that feels rare in the city.
370 8th Street sits just 2.5 blocks from Prospect Park, the 526-acre oasis at the heart of Brooklyn life - home to a year-round Farmers Market, Summer Stage concerts, and the LeFrak Center, with Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Museum, and Botanic Garden all within easy reach. Seventh Avenue is equally well-served, lined with curated grocers, coffee shops, and celebrated eateries including Bar Toto, Piccoli Trattoria, Ottava, and Pasta Louise. The F and G trains at the 7th Avenue station put midtown Manhattan within half an hour, and CitiBike adds yet another layer of convenience to an already exceptionally connected address.
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).
