548 8th Street

Introducing a new exclusive from the Morris Resnick Team at Compass: Just a few steps off of Prospect Park, this stately 20.5-ft wide landmarked townhouse has come to market for only the 2nd time since 1902. Built by prolific NYC architect Benjamin Driesler, this neo-classical limestone with 3 sided bay front window is a magnificent example of the best in Park Slope living. The house has been meticulously well maintained and cared for -- original detail has been lovingly preserved and restored while modern upgrades such as an abundance of excellent closet space have been added. The parlor floor, with double parlor, formal dining room, and over 10-foot ceilings is gracious and flowing with lovely, warm light. The southern facing backyard is located just off the eat-in-kitchen and is lined with 100 year old rose bushes as well as a variety of perennials such as day lilies, irises, and hostas. Upstairs has three large bedrooms, plus a windowed office with closet that is perfect as a nursery and hallway washer/dryer closet for added convenience. Currently configured as an owner's duplex with garden floor one bedroom rental, the house could be easily converted into a one family. The subway is located right at the corner and you are steps from all the wonderful things Park Slope is known for: easy dining, shopping, playing, and caffeinating. Please join us for our first open house this Sunday, March 19th from 12:30-2:00pm. We look forward to seeing you there~
