Welcome to 418 5th Street - the gracious single family brownstone in the heart of Park Slope you have been waiting for! The grand parlor level features soaring 10 foot high ceilings and beautiful light throughout the day from both northern and southern exposures and mint hardwood floors throughout. The front parlor's striking mantel creates a natural focal point, and provides ample space for living and dining, or two seperate seating areas. The rear parlor is bathed in southern sunlight, and elegant original moldings elevate the space throughout. The rear parlor can be fully separated via working pocket doors, and could be used as an additional bedroom or study, a formal dining room, or provides the perfect location for a full chef's kitchen should you prefer it on the parlor level.
The large, garden level kitchen offers ample room for an large center island should one choose, and opens up to the spacious backyard beyond. Keep the kitchen as is, or open up the entire back wall for true indoor/outdoor living. Outside, an extra large deck is ready for your next bbq or lazy sunday afternoon, and a nice garden is ready for your green thumb. Trees from neighboring yards, including a stunning pine, offer privacy and greenery, without taking up space or blocking the light in this sunny south facing yard. Back inside, one finds a full dining area adjacent to the kitchen, as well as several storage closets and a full bathroom. At the front of the house is a cozy wood paneled den with a brick hearth, offering a Catskills like retreat right here in the city!
On the top floor, a spacious landing leads to three bedrooms and another full bathroom. The oversized front bedroom offers triple windows, elegant moldings and another decorative fireplace. The middle bedroom is well sized and features a skylight for natural light. The back bedroom is also spacious with another lovely mantel, and a side room which could be converted to an en suite master bathroom, or used as a nursery, home office, or the walk in closet of your dreams!
The home also features a full, semi finished, bone dry basement with a ceiling height of over 7.5 feet, concrete flooring and electrical throughout. It is currently being used for storage and laundry, but could also be easily converted to an excellent playroom or rec space.
The home is ideally located on 5th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, in very center of Park Slope with Park Slope Ale house on one corner and Poetica Coffee on the other. Neighborhood favorites abound, and F&G subway access (soon with an elevator) at 7th and 9th Street, is just 4 blocks away, as it the Park Slope Library, CVS the YMCA and Steve's 9th Street Supermarket, making all of life's necessities very convenient. The home is currently zoned for PS 39 in district 15.
