SHOWINGS WILL BEGIN JAN 3/4, Available January 18, flexible to February 1: Large, beautiful 2 bedroom+ apt on quiet, leafy street in best part of Park Slope. Full-floor apartment in a 4-unit historic rowhouse. Laundry and bike storage in basement. Huge eat-in kitchen, stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, dishwasher. Beautiful wood floors, including some antique wideplank pine, as well as some new hardwood in bedrooms, wood laminate in kitchen. Great light everywhere. The bedrooms in the rear have a view of downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines. Lovely tiled full bathroom (one). Heat and hot water are both included in rent. Zoned for the highly-rated PS 321, and walking distance to several top Brooklyn private schools, as well.

Located on Carroll Street, one of the prime name streets of Center Slope/North Slope. Many consider this particular street (Carroll between 5th & 6th Aves) to be one of the most pleasant and distinct in the neighborhood. The house is just off residential 6th Ave, so only one block to the restaurants of 5th Ave, and one block in the other direction to the shops of 7th Ave. Convenient to NR23BQ subway lines, as well as LIRR and all Barclay's trains (just 1 stop to Barclay's-Atlantic Terminal). Three avenues up is the great Prospect Park. Along with the character of the calm, brownstone-filled shady blocks, the fine local shopping and the hundred or so restaurants and cafes within walking distance, it is the incomparable Prospect Park that helps make Park Slope the premier Brooklyn neighborhood. Citibikes are down the block by AlDiLa, and up the block by the Berkeley-Carroll School. A new Lidl supermarket, the huge, beloved, suburban-style national chain, is just a few blocks away, as is the famed Park Slope Co-op.

Brownstone row house: This is the entire fourth floor (top floor = 3 flights up/walkup) of a full 20-ft wide 4-unit rowhouse (most in Brooklyn are only 18 feet wide, and some are even less) with a terrific sense of space and history. So very unlike the bland new construction along congested 4th Avenue. Ideal layout, not railroad: Living room in front; center eat-in-kitchen; in the rear there are two bedrooms: one larger BR with two windows, and one medium BR with one window, see photos; the bonus/office is the smaller front room off the living room. This bonus, sunny space makes a fine home office with its front window and second entrance from the hallway, or it can be used for a baby or a small guest room. One photo shows it when it was used by a prior resident as a nursery, a second photo shows it set up as the current resident's cozy reading room. One fully-tiled bathroom.

The residents of the other three floors are a medical doctor in the garden apartment who has been here for five years; an active retiree (former teacher) who has lived here for ten years; and one family of four who has lived here for fifteen years, consisting of two educators with a middle schooler, a high schooler, and their small friendly dog. There is a warm, friendly vibe here; the building residents sometimes have moveable feast dinner parties, Sunday suppers, and Carroll Street's annual September block party is unmatched. Every current and prior resident of the building has been happy here; turnover has been low, as we value tenant relationships highly, and seek those with a spirit of cooperation. Besides living in a beautiful apartment on an extraordinary block in a top neighborhood, you on the top floor will enjoy an extra measure of privacy, with no neighbors above you.
