419 6th Street

Grand proportions, gracious layout and intricate 19th century detail await in this 4 story 20 foot wide brownstone on a lovely tree lined block in prime Park Slope. So loved and cared for for the last 25 years and ready for its new owner to make it shine. Upon entering you are greeted by the original Victorian style etched double glass doors and magnificent intact historical plaster work. Ceiling medallions, ornate friezes and swags and swirls adorn the almost 13 foot ceilings in the living room and a rare and dramatic interior window surround looks out onto 6th St with an ornate marble mantel by your side. The formal dining room is what a formal dining room should be -- majestic and oversized with original chair moulding, delicate friezes and marble mantel with wood burning fireplace. Inlaid wood floors lead into the spectacular and unique kitchen extension with slanted glass roof that allows sunlight to stream in and fill the room with sunlight. Having coffee in the morning becomes a spiritual experience as you gaze past the deck out onto the cherry blossoms in your large backyard while sunshine envelopes you from all angles. Or stargaze at night while having a quiet dinner at home. If you're feeling social, hold a private movie screening with all your friends -- the living room features its own pull down movie screen visible throughout the parlor level of the house. Upstairs the master bedroom is a quiet and peaceful respite that spans the width of the house with another wood-burning fireplace to warm your feet at night. Two large closets, including a walk-in cedar lined closet are featured. The other large bedroom also features a marble mantel and original shaving sink and is light and bright. The bathroom on this level has been renovated with care and the original bathtub was salvaged and repositioned in the room to maximize space. An oversized linen closet with salvaged brownstone doors complete offers plenty of room for everything you need and more. Up on the third floor you have 3 more good sized bedrooms, some with recently refinished floors -- a 4th bedroom on this level is currently used as a laundry room. The first floor garden apartment is a one bedroom in great shape with its own marble mantel in the large living room, beautiful replicated original detail, a large renovated bath and beautiful original subfloor. The house can be delivered vacant or with a very responsible, quiet tenant in place. The cellar is clean and dry with plenty of ceiling height. Bring your contractor and create the home of your dreams.
