Description
194 Berkeley Place sits mid-block on one of those quintessential Park Slope streets—the kind people picture when they think of brownstone Brooklyn. It’s part of a distinguished row of ten four-story homes developed during the neighborhood’s post–Brooklyn Bridge boom by Edward S. Sturges and John Magilligan, with architecture by Amazi Hill—an era that truly shaped the Park Slope we know and love today.
This is a special two-family townhouse, an owners triplex over a garden rental, with six bedrooms and three bathrooms, ideally positioned on a picturesque North Park Slope block. It has been in the same family for over 50 years, and you feel that immediately—there’s a sense of history, warmth, and care here that’s increasingly hard to find. The home has been meticulously cared for throughout the years, with considered updates to electrical, plumbing, roof, and cellar implemented over time.
The parlor level is where the home really shines. Beautiful original details have been thoughtfully preserved, from intricate moldings and rich hardwood floors to classic wooden shutters and beautifully crafted doors speak to the craftsmanship of the era.
Upstairs, the second and third floors offer a flexible and comfortable layout, with generously sized southwest-facing bedrooms that bring in wonderful natural light throughout the day. The second floor is configured with two well-proportioned bedrooms, while the third floor offers three additional bedrooms, along with the convenience of laundry on that level.
The garden level adds another layer of versatility, currently set up as a one-bedroom apartment—ideal for rental income, an au pair, or extended family—but easily incorporated back into a full single-family home if that’s the vision.
The south-facing garden is a serene oasis, grounding the home with a sense of nature and effortless outdoor living in the heart of the city—while also offering ideal sunlight and exposure for those looking to try their hand at gardening.
There’s also a meaningful piece of Brooklyn history here. 194 Berkeley Place is one of ten four-story brownstones built during Park Slope’s late 19th-century boom in 1883, just after the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. It was originally home to civil engineer C. C. Martin, who played a significant role in both the creation of Prospect Park and the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge—a rare and special connection to two of Brooklyn’s most iconic landmarks.
And then there’s the location, which really speaks for itself. You’re just moments from Prospect Park, with easy access to the B/Q trains along Flatbush Avenue and the 2/3 at Grand Army Plaza—making getting around the city seamless.
Even closer to home, you’re surrounded by some of the very best of Park Slope and Prospect Heights living: weekend mornings at the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket, afternoons spent at the Brooklyn Public Library or the Brooklyn Museum, and everyday conveniences along 5th and 7th Avenues.
Neighborhood favorites are all right here— the Park Slope Food Coop, Un Posto Italiano, Cafe Regular, Il Leoni, Sofreh, plus staples like Al Di La, Fausto, and Russo’s Mozzarella—making it easy to settle into a rhythm that feels both vibrant and deeply rooted in the community.
And the icing on the cake—something that truly sets this home apart—a deeded parking space just around the corner at 841 Union Street, a rare and valuable convenience in this part of Brooklyn for an additional purchase.
It’s the kind of block, and the kind of home, that people wait for.
