Half a block from Prospect Park, airily perched on the top floor of a grand 1920s limestone in Park Slope's historic district, this 3BR/1.5BA condo embodies the magic of old New York — with an elegant and spirited renovation that enhances the charm of its original details, from crown moldings and columns to high ceilings and inlaid hardwood floors. The current owners have meticulously maintained and improved the home, giving both kitchen and bath a top-to-bottom renovation, with Kucht professional range appliances and quartzite countertops in the designer kitchen, and Kohler fixtures and Danby marble in the bath. They added a windowed half bath off the dining area, and reoriented the laundry closet, upgrading to an extra-large stack washer and dryer – all a perfect marriage of form and function. The floor-through layout is currently configured as a three-bedroom with a luxurious primary bedroom and attached sitting room and two large secondary bedrooms (both of which can fit king beds), all with details that bespeak the original period, from chair railings to original doors. The east-west orientation brings in moving light that floods the kitchen with morning sunshine, and crosses over to grace the primary and its peek of Prospect Park with afternoon sun and glorious panoramic sunsets, with a skyline that views all the way to the Verrazano bridge. With the grandeur of its history and the convenience of condo living, 567 8th Street embodies the best of both worlds. The self-managed building is pet-friendly and beautifully maintained, and its low monthlies include a deeded private storage room for each unit, as well as common bike storage and even a well-equipped gym – an incredible rarity for a walk-up building. And the walk up is made remarkable by the elegance of the surrounds, with parquet floors and stairwells lit by stained glass. Zoned for P.S. 107, located one block from the F/G trains and a half block to Prospect Park (five minutes to the Bandshell and ten to the Picnic House) and surrounded by local favorites for shopping, dining, and delighting — each element of the home and neighborhood is an added joy.
