Set within a distinguished landmarked corner building, Residence No. 1 pairs the character of classic Brooklyn architecture with a refined, contemporary interior. Fourteen windows and exposures on multiple sides bring natural light throughout the home, while the building's depth creates a sense of privacy and separation rarely found in Park Slope.
The main living spaces are open and thoughtfully designed for both everyday life and entertaining. A beautifully appointed kitchen anchors the living and dining areas with custom cabinetry, generous storage and premium appliance package, including a Bertazzoni induction range.
Four bedrooms provide flexibility for a range of living arrangements. The primary suite offers a serene retreat, while the additional bedrooms are positioned with privacy and functionality in mind. One secondary bedroom retains original stained glass windows-a distinctive architectural detail that brings color, character and a meaningful connection to the building's history. Three full bathrooms and a powder room are finished with an elegant and calming, spa-like aesthetic.
Nearly 1,200 square feet of the residence is located on the lower level, dramatically expanding the ways this home can be lived in. The generous footprint can easily accommodate a secondary living room in addition to a home office or gym, with additional space for storage. This flexibility, paired with the scale of the upper level, gives Residence No.1 the versatility of a townhouse within the ease of condominium living.
Outdoors, the private 240-square-foot side yard creates a natural extension of the home and a rare opportunity for al fresco dining, gardening or a quiet retreat.
Located on a picturesque Park Slope block just moments from Prospect Park, 501 8th Avenue is surrounded by some of Brooklyn's best dining, shopping and neighborhood amenities, with convenient access to transportation.
Residence No. 1 offers an uncommon combination of scale, natural light, private outdoor space and historic character-all within one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods.

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).
