About the Listing 334 - 74803
Apartment 2L on beautiful 3rd Street offers a rare combination of historic detail, generous scale, and everyday convenience with its three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and in-unit washer/dryer. It sits on one of Park Slope's most beautiful and intact blocks - 3rd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues - where a continuous row of historic buildings frames a notably wide, tree-lined streetscape. The coop is pet friendly! What further distinguishes this residence is the remarkable degree to which its original interior has been preserved. The apartment reflects the craftsmanship of the late 19th-century brownstone era, with architectural elements that remain both cohesive and unusually complete. The living room is the defining space: grand in proportion, with high ceilings finished in an original pressed-tin pattern that spans the full length of the room. A deep bay window draws in natural light and frames mature trees, while a substantial decorative fireplace is set within an elaborate carved wood mantel complete with an integrated overmantel mirror and fluted columns. The scale of these elements - ceiling height, window depth, and mantelpiece - creates an elegance that is difficult to replicate in later construction. The living room leads through a wide original opening into a separate dining area, allowing for a natural progression of spaces that feels both formal and highly usable. This arrangement preserves the proportions of the original layout while easily accommodating modern living and entertaining. Positioned beyond the dining room, the windowed kitchen is brand new with straightforward, functional finishes and modern appliances. An in-unit washer/dryer and two windowed full bathrooms - uncommon for homes of this vintage - add practical convenience without compromising the historic character. The primary bedroom continues the same architectural expression, featuring its own pressed-tin ceiling and a second decorative fireplace, with the contemporary convenience of a walk-in closet and an ensuite full bathroom. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for a variety of uses, from guest rooms to workspaces. Set on extra-wide 3rd Street, the location offers easy access to Prospect Park as well as the shops, restaurants, and transit options of Park Slope. JJ Byrne Park, with its excellent playground and popular Sunday greenmarket, is nearby. With low monthly maintenance in a self-managed co-op, Apartment 2L presents a rare opportunity: a home where the scale, craftsmanship, and material presence of the original architecture remain fully intact, paired with the practical updates required for contemporary living.
