Exquisitely Furnished Park Slope Townhouse Rental

Move right in to this elegant four-story one-family townhouse, beautifully furnished, for six to eight months beginning at the end of December. Extraordinary amenities such as a screened-in porch overlooking the garden and an outdoor shower on the top floor deck create a luxurious, one-of-a-kind urban retreat.

Enter at the garden level or at the top of the grand parlor stoop, the loft-like interior has light streaming in from the left beyond the family room and from the right beyond the expansive kitchen overlooking the yard.

Outfitted for a discerning chef, the kitchen is accented with lush African mahogany countertops, Sub Zero fridge, Miele dishwasher, a spectacular 60" commercial grade Garland range complete with grill top, double porcelain farm house sink and plenty of storage. A caesar stone counter-height bar comfortably seats five, delineating the kitchen from the family room. This room, anchored by an original marble fireplace, would work equally well for casual dining or a home office. A full bathroom is conveniently tucked off the kitchen.

Extending this floor is a spectacular 17’ x 11’ screened-in porch, offering a comfortable outdoor setting for family meals and entertaining. This bonus space is complete with a large table seating eight, a hanging, swing chair and heat lamps for the off-season. From the porch, stroll into the garden which has a turf-lined children’s play area and, further into the yard, a hammock under the shade trees. This tranquil garden has mature plantings as well as conveniences including a potting shed.

The floor-through parlor level showcases the townhouse’s classic provenance, featuring high ceilings and bay-front windows. The formal dining area is extravagantly-sized and seats ten with room to spare. In the adjoining living room, grand in its original splendor, is a wall of custom-made bookshelves and a charming built-in banquette under the bay-front windows.

Up a flight to the third floor, find two light-filled, large bedrooms, and a dreamy middle room decorated for a child. This space can serve as a home office, game room, or a walk-in closet. Also on this floor is a second full bathroom in traditional Victorian style and the full-sized side-by-side washer and dryer in a hallway closet.

The top floor has been completely renovated in a compelling Zen-like style. The main suite features sliding Shoji screens, a walk-in closet with custom shelving and wonderful light. Sliding glass doors leading out to a decked balcony offer amazing Manhattan views and a one-of-a-kind outdoor shower experience. Down the hallway, is a separate water closet and elegant spa-like bathroom with walk-in shower and deep, 6 ft long Japanese soaking tub with Waterworks fixtures.

The grand finale on the fourth floor is an additional mesmerizing room with circular skylight and turret. It could serve as a guest bedroom, fitness or meditation room, or artist’s studio. Unique to this house is three-sided exposure on the third and fourth floors, a special feature that offers exceptional natural light.

Located nearby fantastic shopping, restaurants, schools, local farmer’s markets, transportation, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 393 6th Street offers a rare opportunity to enjoy townhouse living at its finest. Flexible term between the end of December 2024 and the middle of August 2025.
