Description

**Shown by private appointment the weekend of 9/26 - 9/27. Please contact the Corcoran listing agent to schedule a showing.** MODERN CHARMER WITH PRIVATE GARDEN OASIS ~ Move right into this pre-war duplex CONDO with a private garden! Nestled on the parlor level of a small pre-war building in Park Slope, this spacious home personifies the perfect combination of architectural charm and modern amenities laid out over two floors of serene living space. Upstairs, relax in the sunny south-facing living room featuring bay windows, white-washed exposed brick, tin ceilings, plenty of ornate original details and rich pine floors. This living space opens into a separate dining area and a recently renovated open-plan kitchen that boasts stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinet and drawer storage and in-unit washer & dryer. In the rear, there's a garden-facing bedroom, a full bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and another living space -- the ideal den, playroom or home office -- that walks out onto a tranquil private garden. The garden features ipe fencing and bluestone pavers (with both water and electric access). Downstairs, the master suite offers a half bathroom and a large walk-in closet with built-ins. Located on a tree-lined street right off of Prospect Park West, this home is quietly tucked away in an eight-unit condo that offers common basement storage, bike storage, additional laundry and first-floor stroller parking in a shared foyer. Enjoy the ease of having top-notch restaurants and shopping moments from home -- and the luxury of living amongst Brooklyn's finest cultural attractions: Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, BAM and Barclays Center. Pet friendly! Subway: three blocks from the F/G.
