Description
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.
