361 5th Street #NA

Welcome to your elegant new Park Slope townhouse. Built in 1899, this beautiful home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn history. Located on a peaceful, tree-lined street between 5th and 6th Avenues, 361 Fifth Street boasts three floors of gracious living space and a serene, verdant landscaped rear garden with areas for grilling, dining, and lounging.

One enters the home through a gated front yard, up the stoop and through a striking front door into an inviting foyer. This space leads to a well-appointed living room and dining room-each centered around two decorative marble fireplaces. The grand parlor floor is perfect for entertaining and boasts soaring 11-foot ceilings, oversized windows, historic period details including exquisite inlaid wood floors, original pocket doors and shutters and decorative tin ceilings, all in pristine condition. A charming bathroom with original claw foot tub completes this floor.

The top floor is where you'll find your private sanctuary. All of the rooms on this floor-the primary bedroom with walk in closet, the amply sized guest room, a smaller bedroom, a home office perfect for remote work, and the full sky lit bathroom-are all flooded with sunshine. The top of the stair is illuminated by a stained glass covered skylight with original plaster detail surround.

The garden floor is accessed from under the stoop as well as from the interior stair. From here one enters a mud room with built-in storage. A cozy den, with decorative fireplace, opens into the modern eat-in kitchen with access to the 814 square foot rear garden. Here one will find everything that the home chef requires-plenty of space to spread out, stone counter tops, a large center island with dining counter, high-end stainless-steel appliances, wine storage plus a walk-in pantry. Additionally, there is plenty of hidden built-in storage space behind sliding walls adjacent to the dining area, bookshelves, storage cabinets and a work station. A separate laundry room with full sized washer dryer and sink, plus a powder room complete this floor. There is central air conditioning on this level as well as the top floor.
