85 8th Ave, 1

Breathtakingly gorgeous and enormous duplex in an 8th Avenue mansion with a private garden in prime North Slope.

This exceptional and rarely available unique home, with its own private entrance, feels like a townhouse offering with over 2200sf over 2 floors of living plus a finished basement to use as you choose. From the moment you walk in you will be taken by the museum-quality millwork and soaring 12-ft ceilings. Upstairs you will enjoy the warmth of an expansive open living room complete with pocket doors with turn of the century details and an equally gracious dining room with built-in window seat surrounding the cheery bay window, an efficient kitchen overlooking your own garden, and sweet powder room with exposed brick. Glow up the formal dining room with roses from your private garden accessible from both floors!

Downstairs the 3 sizable bedrooms are all conveniently located on one floor, along with a separate laundry room, 2 full bathrooms, and loads of closets. The primary suite, complete with working wood burning fireplace and ample walk-in closet. The finished basement is exclusive to this unit and the icing on the cake, currently used as a wine cellar and storage. This rambling townhouse alternative is ideal for entertaining whether its an intimate cookout in your private garden or a children's birthday party for 20!

Conveniently located in the heart of Park Slope, one block from Prospect Park and the Farmers Market and a very short walk to the 2, 3, B, and Q trains and all the fabulous North Slope dining and provisions.
