31 8th Avenue, Unit 2 is a sophisticated two-bedroom home in north Park Slope featuring two private outdoor spaces, and it is like nothing else on the market.
Occupying the parlor floor of a 5-unit brownstone co-op, this exciting home has 11-foot ceilings, exposed whitewashed brick, central air conditioning and its own private entrance from the stoop. The living room includes a wood-burning fireplace, stained glass windows, custom shelving by Brooklyn's own Atlas Industries and lighting by George Nelson and Atelier de Troupe. The kitchen is complete with custom ceiling-height cherry cabinets, extra-wide Carrara marble counters and high-end appliances. The bathroom boasts Hansgrohe and Montreaux fixtures, Jielde lighting, a Duravit sink, a deep soaking tub, and a vintage-design medicine cabinet by Restoration Hardware. The vast primary bedroom, accessed through a custom mirrored French door, overlooks the terrace through a set of gorgeous French doors. With three closets, one of which is a custom walk-in, and extra-deep and high cabinets above each closet, there is ample storage in this home. A fourth closet contains a stacked, vented washer-dryer. The second bedroom features two walls of windows and a skylight. The apartment also features six in-ceiling Bose and Boston Acoustics speakers in the living area, bathroom and primary bedroom.
Outside, the apartment offers an additional 700 square feet of private outdoor space spread out over two levels. The easily maintained, landscaped garden features hydrangeas, hostas, a blossoming cherry tree and other foliage that will continue to take root in the years to come. Additionally, the owners have installed a covered outdoor gym in the yard that will remain with the home, as well as a sweet swing.
This small, friendly co-op building allows generous basement storage, under-the-stoop bike storage, and the main hallway of the building may be used for stroller parking and packages - all at no additional cost. Pets allowed on approval. The prime location has the advantages of both Park Slope and Prospect Heights; it is close to 2/3 and B/Q trains, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Library, Fausto, Union Market and La Taq to name a few.
