560 1st St

1st showings (by appointment) Sunday 5/7/23! Welcome to 560 1st Street, a palatial 22.5' wide limestone on one of Park Slope's most cherished park blocks. Built in 1909 with the grandeur of a bygone era, 560 is distinguished as one of four townhomes with full height curved-sided bay windows, an iconic gas lamp, and an ornamented wrought-iron entry. At first introduced and featured by Victoria Home magazine, 560 1st Street will soon unveil to the public for the first time in three and a half decades. As you enter, you will be greeted by a generous foyer and a magnificent staircase embellished with historical detail and bespoke wood-work. The parlor floor, an entertainer's dream from the in-laid flooring to soaring coved ceilings, includes a resplendent living area, a grand sitting room, a stately dining room, and a bright parlor kitchen. Each room is adorned with intricate moldings, preserved wainscoting, and elegant friezes. If this were not enough, you'll enjoy central cooling throughout. Outside the kitchen you can have breakfast on the private deck and enjoy the rear garden, a serene oasis with a glorious Magnolia tree. The second floor features two bedrooms, one currently being used as a primary suite and the other as an expansive living area that spans the entire width of the home. The top floor includes three bedrooms with an additional bedroom or playroom brightened by a skylight. The garden level features a dedicated work area, laundry room, and mud-room, all with an abundance of storage. Located in the heart of Park Slope's historic district, you'll enjoy easy access to Prospect Park, fine restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and more. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn history.
