About this House

Stunning and fully renovated 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath single-family townhouse in historic Park Slope! Set on prized 3rd Street on a park block, arguably one of the best blocks in Park Slope just moments to glorious Prospect Park, this gorgeous residence embodies the perfect combination of thoughtful modern improvements along with intentional preserved original detail.

As you enter this special home you are greeted by a large and landscaped front yard that keeps it set back from the street. Enter the first floor that features a comfortable family room in front with a working wood-burning fireplace, separate formal dining room with an original built-in glass cabinet in the middle, and powder room for guests.

Beyond is a stunning eat-in chef's kitchen that is every cook's dream. With an oversized window on one side, French doors leading directly to the back patio on the other, and a custom skylight, the south-facing space is gloriously flooded with sunlight all day long. Every detail of this beautifully appointed kitchen was carefully thought out, featuring a BlueStar 48" Platinum Series 8-burner Range, endless storage with abundant walnut cabinetry and built-ins, and custom backsplash design with Mercury Mosaic tiles. A new tile floor with radiant heat and a built-in banquette complete this light-filled space.

If it is dining al fresco or outdoor gatherings you crave, step out to your back patio directly from the kitchen. Glass French doors to the back yard allows for a seamless transition from indoor to out connecting you directly to summer barbecues, recreation and lounging.

A center staircase from the first level ascends to the sleeping quarters on the upper two, each floor encompassing 2 large bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. A fully finished English basement offers bonus space and is ideal for a media room, guest suite, play area, or gym. It also comes complete with a full bathroom, washer-dryer, and plenty of additional storage.

Fully gut renovated, the house was designed for classic yet contemporary taste. Some of the many home improvements include:
-brand new kitchen and bathrooms
-custom skylight in kitchen
-new plumbing and electrical
-ducted and enclosed Mitsubishi dual heat/AC
-new water heater
-new roof
-new wood flooring
-2 working wood-burning fireplaces
-renovated backyard with bluestone pavers, Ipe fence, and irrigation system
