Description

Welcome to 397 2nd Street, a quintessential Park Slope brownstone tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of the neighborhood.

This charming home captures the best of Brooklyn living: prewar character, flexible layout, and an unbeatable location just moments from Prospect Park and all that makes Park Slope so beloved.

Sitting on an 18′ x 100′ lot, this 18-foot-wide multi-family townhouse offers two distinct apartments and a full-height unfinished basement with endless potential.

Apartment 1 is a spacious duplex that includes the garden level and first floor. On the garden level, you’ll find a bedroom, full bathroom, and kitchen. On the first floor, there’s a bedroom, full bathroom, and a living space with tall ceilings and beautiful natural light, an original feature of a classic Brownstone.

Apartment 2 takes up the entire second floor and features a large living space, one bedroom, kitchen, and a full bathroom, perfect for guests or rental income.

Below, the large unfinished basement provides valuable bonus space, ideal for storage, a workshop, home gym, playroom, or future expansion.

The home is rich in original detail, with large windows and an abundance of natural light. Whether you’re looking to live in one unit and rent the other, create a home for extended family, or convert the entire space into a single-family residence, 397 2nd Street offers incredible flexibility.

All of this, just blocks from Prospect Park, the Saturday farmers market, top-rated schools, beloved neighborhood cafés, independent bookstores, playgrounds, and multiple subway lines.

Classic, flexible, and full of character. This is the kind of Park Slope home people wait for. Come see it for yourself.
