584 11th St

Situated on the block closest to Prospect Park, 584 11th is a charming limestone in use as a 2 family house. It is the first in the row of 15 neo-Italian Renaissance houses that builder Thomas F. Martin began to construct in 1897. Both inside and out, 584 is filled with lovely historical details. The owners’ duplex is accessed with a private, under-the-stoop entrance. The front parlor has original shutters and a decorative fireplace. The dining room is in the middle of the house with wide doorways leading to the parlor and the kitchen, giving rise to a full floor-through line of sight. And the kitchen, facing the south-facing garden, is light, bright and open. There is a full bath on this floor as well. The deep garden is beautifully landscaped and sunny. This easily accessible and very usable outdoor space is an extension of your living space. It’s perfect for a lively summer BBQ, a dinner party under the stars or just a quiet, sanctuary for your coffee. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and another full bath. Each room has an original set of double pocket doors that remain unpainted and provide both privacy and a lovely historical context. The large and elegant master bedroom has an adjoining dressing room currently used as an office. The top floor, accessed via the stoop, offers additional income as a spacious 1+ bedroom apartment which is currently vacant. The house has a large, clean basement, perfect for storage. Alternatively, take advantage of the high ceilings and extra square footage to create a rec room for the children, an office space for those who work at home, or a den to relax in. Mechanicals are up to date. The house is in move-in condition, or ready to be re-configured as you like. This well maintained home is perfectly located one block from Prospect Park, a short walk to the trains and all the best shopping and dining of Park Slope. It is zoned for PS 107. Its prime location, size, original details, flexibility in use and magical garden make this a must see.
