Set on a tree-lined Park Slope block, this lovingly maintained 20-ft wide two-family brownstone is a perfect blend of period detail and modern touches. Built in 1899-1900 by a builder named Buckley and first owned by a musician named Charles Burkhardt this home is currently laid out as a garden level one-bedroom rental apartment and an owner’s parlor and upper level duplex that easily converts to a single family if desired. The parlor floor offers an open plan living room with cherry built-ins, long dining room, back sitting area, and side kitchen, leading out to a south-facing deck and lush garden. The garden was designed by the manager of the greenhouse at Barnard College and offers a tranquil space to relax. Enjoy a variety of easy care, mature perennials including lilac, honeysuckle, rhododendron, hostas, columbine, ferns, bleeding hearts, succulents, and plenty of bulbs that come up year after year. Or sit inside in front of your working fireplace and enjoy the loft-like feel of this sunny floor with oversized back windows. The kitchen is open and offers great counter and cabinet space, along with a huge island and a large walk-in pantry. Tucked on this level is a convenient coat closet and powder room as well. On the upper floor you will find a master bedroom complete with walk-in-closet and beautiful en-suite bathroom. Also on the second floor are 3 additional bedrooms and a 2nd full bathroom. Skylights bathe the space in light and an extra wide hallway provides a nook for a desk or bookshelves. The garden level extra-large 1 bedroom apartment offers the opportunity to collect rental income or take over the floor to create a huge den, extra bedrooms, office, or space for the in-laws! It features an open living/dining room, upgraded kitchen, laundry in the unit, large bedroom, and separated private outdoor space. The huge basement provides more storage than you will ever need. Quietly located in prime Park Slope, moments to Prospect Park and excellent shops and dining, including popular spots such as Talde and Hugo and Sons.
