The thoughtfully designed layout features a generous living room, renovated open kitchen, separate dining area, king-size bedroom, and an oversized dual-entry bathroom. The dining area provides valuable flexibility and can easily convert to an office, den, nursery, or additional sleeping area if someone need to change the footprint at any point.
Throughout the home, soaring ceiling height (approximately 11-foot ceilings) and distinctive architectural details create a sense of warmth and personality. A skylight brings natural light from above, while exposed brick, decorative moldings, a stained-glass transom, and a library ladder add to the apartment's unique pre-war charm.
The renovated open kitchen features soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, ample workspace, and a breakfast bar that connects naturally to the living and dining areas. The spacious bathroom offers excellent storage and convenient access from both the hallway and bedroom.
Upstairs, your private rooftop terrace extends the entire footprint above your unit, providing a wonderful extension of the living space-perfect for relaxing, entertaining, gardening, or enjoying the outdoors at home.

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).
