476 11th Street

Beloved by the same family for over half of a century, this profoundly warm and inviting property is the one you have searched for to now make your own. Sitting on one of the loveliest tree-lined blocks in all brownstone Brooklyn, this special two family home is steps to Prospect Park, F/G train and all the terrific shopping, dining, and community vibes that make Park Slope a one of a kind neighborhood. Built circa 1901, this federal brick townhouse is currently set up as a two and a half bedroom owners' triplex (including basement with 6'4 ceiling height that is now used for heavy storage) and one and a half bedroom top floor rental. Past a front garden with a brilliant pink dogwood tree, entering at the garden level you will feel right at home with the large open living room, country kitchen with original tin ceilings and half bath. A windowed mud room leads out to the sweetest, most tranquil outdoor space in the area. Referred by the current owners as "Shangri-La," this oasis is flanked on one side by a wall of thick ivy, is sheltered by two mature Norwegian Maples and features a delightful patio with implanted above ground pool. Whether it's a simple family dinner or entertaining a large gathering of friends, this space is the perfect respite from city life. Boiler, water heater, electricity and roof have all been recently updated. The heart and soul are unquestionably present, bring your imagination and eye for cosmetic detail to make this gem your spectacular home for the next century.
