Come home to the perfect blend of old and new in this stunning and spacious architecturally designed 3-bed, 2-bath apartment in prime Park Slope. Flooded with light and designed down to every last detail, this masterful transformation was created by NV/design.architecture and is the perfect embodiment of space, light, luxury, and location. Situated just one flight up in an extra wide and deep barrel-front limestone between 2nd and 3rd streets on 6th avenue-and also including a partial area of the roof for your outdoor enjoyment-this approx. 1500 SF home offers you the opportunity to enjoy the warmth of a pre-war coop with all of the luxuries afforded by a newer renovation.
 
Embarking on a journey to bring in light and open up all of the spaces without losing any historic flavor, the current owners widened the center hallway to allow light to cascade through both the front and back of the apartment. They anchored the home with a massive living room in front overlooking picturesque 6th avenue, and a vast chef's kitchen and formal dining room in back with garden views. In the middle are three bedrooms, two designer baths, great closet space, and a washer and dryer, perfectly situated for easy accessibility to the common living spaces. Original period details have all been restored to perfection and include shutters, moldings, exposed brick, crystal hardware, bay windows, hand-carved door and window casements, and a real woodburning fireplace. To illuminate the space even further, they transformed these original elements through the stylish use of white paint, whitewashed brick, and pickled oak floors in the kitchen, dining room and center hallway. The affect is mesmerizing and perfectly frames the majestic treelined views in front and the quiet garden views in back. Bedrooms also feature large closets, and don't miss a capacious entrance closet perfect for your seasonal clothing and guests.
 
The living room is grand enough to accommodate two separate spaces and is distinguished by a wall of bay windows that span the entire front of the apartment. Currently used as a music area including a piano on one side; and a wonderfully comfortable living room on the other side perfect to entertain family and friends. The windowed chef's kitchen in back is masterfully separated from the formal dining room by an oak island that blends seamlessly with the history of the property. Gray painted cabinetry includes a floor-to-ceiling pull-out pantry and an impressive glass enclosed china cabinet that is as pretty as it is practical. A wall of drawers and overhead cabinetry include more storage than you could ever need. Enjoy a suite of professional Thermador appliances including a 5-burner range, built-in microwave speed oven, and wine cooler. Gray quartz countertops and a limestone mosaic backsplash lend a cool California minimalism to the space, allowing the timeless elegance of the white wainscoting surrounding the formal dining room, and ornate mantle and hand-fired hearth ceramics, to take center stage along with a modern Michael Anastassiades contemporary brass chandelier. Enjoy morning light in the kitchen and stunning West-facing light in the living room. Spa-like bathrooms both include custom white oak vanities, limestone-style slab floors, hand-made modern thin stacked white subway tiles, unlacquered brass Delta fixtures and Kohler sinks. The primary bath features a floor-to-ceiling cabinet and a large glass-enclosed shower with limestone mosaic floors. The secondary bath includes a tub and built-in storage niche.
 
The building itself is perfectly located. Just a few blocks from Prospect Park and one block to PS 321, it is also a short jaunt to the amazing restaurants and amenities on 5th and 7th avenues. Union Market is three blocks away, in addition to the easily accessible F, G and R trains. A roof space private to this unit awaits your green-thumb and offers soaring views over treetops. Additional basement storage and pet friendly too.
