Property Description for 861 President Street

All open houses are BY APPOINTMENT only

Located mid-block on one of Park Slope's most picturesque tree-lined streets, 861 President Street is a beautifully preserved Brownstone offering an exceptional upper triplex with a separate garden unit and a private rear garden. This elegant home is currently configured with five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one powder room, and seamlessly blends grand proportions and original period details with thoughtful modern updates.

The gracious stoop entry opens into a dramatic foyer with soaring 11-foot ceilings and exquisite wood moldings. A grand set of pocket doors leads into the expansive front parlor, where vaulted ceilings, oversized bay windows with functional wood shutters, and a decorative wood mantel create an impressive yet inviting entertaining space.

The parlor level continues with a recently renovated chef's kitchen equipped with brand-new Bosch appliances and ample cabinetry and workspace. Beyond the kitchen, the rear parlor features beautiful stained-glass windows and a second decorative wood mantel, offering exceptional flexibility as a formal dining room, second living space, or library. This level also provides direct access to the charming private rear garden, while a conveniently located powder room and laundry complete the floor.

The third floor is anchored by a spacious primary bedroom with three south-facing bay windows that fill the room with natural light, as well as a generous walk-in closet. The newly renovated en-suite bathroom features dual sinks, an oversized soaking tub, and luxurious finishes. A sizable additional bedroom with its own walk-in closet is also located on this level.

The fourth floor offers two additional bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, along with a second newly renovated full bathroom featuring the same sophisticated finishes as the bathroom below.

Downstairs, the one-bedroom garden apartment features private outdoor space, a full-size washer/dryer, dishwasher, and central HVAC. The floor-through also includes stunning period details including moldings, shutters, floors, and a decorative mantel.

Set between 7th and 8th Avenues in the heart of Park Slope, 861 President Street is ideally situated near Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza, with the neighborhood's renowned restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and shops along 5th and 7th Avenues just moments away.

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).
