From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
Moments from Prospect Park, this sun-drenched prewar gem blends historic charm with modern comfort. Just a half block from the park in prime South Slope, this south-facing floor-through 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom condo sits one flight up from the stoop on one of the most serene, quintessential blocks in Park Slope. A rare mix of old and new. The home recently underwent a complete overhaul, adding modern comforts like a stacked washer/dryer and a professionally designed kitchen, all while lovingly preserving the prewar details that make this apartment special: exposed brick, ornate tin ceilings, stained glass, crown and baseboard moldings, and beautifully restored pine floors throughout. The expansive windowed kitchen offers floor-to-ceiling maple cabinetry, stainless steel Bosch appliances, a double-door refrigerator with freezer drawer, quartz countertops, open shelving, a deep sink, and excellent storage throughout. The windowed bathroom pairs an original clawfoot tub with clean white tile, an updated vanity and faucet, and new overhead lighting-a perfect marriage of vintage character and everyday function. The separate dining area comfortably seats six or more, giving nice separation from the living room and kitchen. And then there's the park. South-facing bay windows frame leafy treetop views, and with Prospect Park just half a block away, its meadows, trails, and Long Meadow ballfields become an extension of your own backyard-morning runs, weekend picnics, and dog walks are all just steps from your door. Pet-friendly and self-managed, this superb apartment is also close to the F and G trains, plus the eateries, pubs, grocery stores, and locally owned shops that make South Slope such a vibrant, sought-after neighborhood. Stroller parking is available in the foyer, with additional open storage in the cellar.
