Description

We wish to welcome you to 561 5th Street 1A on the beautifully tree-lined park block of Park Slope, Brooklyn. The classic pre-war brownstone was converted to a 4 unit condominium and this premier duplex home including the entire backyard garden is the first resale. Originally configured as a 2 bedroom with a full bath upstairs and half bath downstairs is now being used as a perfectly sized 3 bedroom home. The traditional features of a Park Slope brownstone home are found here. A real wood burning fireplace with decorative marble mantle immediately catches your eye every time you come home. Use the wide open living space to host all your holiday events while you enjoy whipping up magical culinary creations in your stunning chefs kitchen. The endless custom granite countertops, professional appliances, and wide design of the galley kitchen create just the right space to accommodate every gathering. Retreat back to your large master bedroom nestled into the rear of the home: an extension added to the building during conversion. Serenity now is finally achieved in the rear garden that rivals the beauty and harmony of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. This backyard is an oasis off 5th Street and is 100% all yours for those with a taste and desire for extra privacy. Come visit this truly breathtaking Park Slope home between 8th Avenue and Prospect Park West and make it your own.
