Property Description for 561 5th Street, 2

Residence 2 at 561 Fifth Street is a sun-filled, full-floor parlor-level condominium in a classic 20-foot-wide Italianate brownstone, just half a block from Prospect Park West. Oversized south-facing windows, leafy tree-lined views and a flowing layout set a serene tone. Nearly 10-foot ceilings, parquet floors, crown moldings, deep window seats and a wood-burning fireplace give the home its unmistakable brownstone charm. The open living and dining room (approx. 22' x 12') works for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate kitchen with granite countertops completes the practical layout. Two generously sized bedrooms offer privacy and flexibility. More than 25 linear feet of closets, including twin closets in the second bedroom and a shelved linen closet, provide exceptional storage. A wide hallway fits a home office nook, and in-unit laundry plus split-system units in the living room and each bedroom add everyday comfort. At the end, Litchfield Villa and the Third Street playground lead to the Picnic House and Long Meadow. The Boathouse, lake, Carousel, Zoo and Bandshell are close by, along with Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden and Central Library. The cafés, restaurants and shops of Fifth and Seventh Avenues are an easy convenient subway access to Brooklyn and Manhattan. Currently zoned for P.S. 321 (buyer to verify). Set within a four-unit prewar condominium, this full-floor home pairs townhouse character with condominium convenience. Approx. monthly taxes $607; common charges $192. Morning sun, green views, Prospect Park minutes away and evenings by the fire.

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).
