Prospect Park West

In one of Park Slope's most desired pre-war co-ops, this sprawling apartment marries the gracious layout of a pre-war home with a contemporary and tasteful 2010 renovation. Perhaps the most wonderful feature of this high-floor apartment is its sweeping views in all four directions, from Prospect Park to New York Harbor. An oversized entrance gallery leads to the very large living room with Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza views. Custom-built barrister's bookcases transition to the large formal dining room, from which Grand Army Plaza and Manhattan views sparkle delightfully at night. The gallery and living and dining rooms have original and beautifully restored oak herringbone floors. Modern double doors in solid mahogany with fluted glass windows allow the living and dining rooms to either flow together or be separated - a perfect layout for entertaining. Innovative designs in turn separate the kitchen from the dining room: a pass-through, which closes with hand-crafted mahogany shutters, and an elegant barn door made of mahogany and finished with brass fittings. The kitchen is masterfully renovated. Its design offers up-to-the minute function and beauty, yet it remains in harmony with the pre-war aspects of the apartment. Soapstone counters with beautiful veining complement the farm sink and unlacquered brass fixtures. The extensive custom cabinetry includes two full-height pull-out pantries for storage. Appliances include a powerful Blue Star range (vented to the outside), Liebherr french door refrigerator, Wolf microwave drawer, silent Bosch dishwasher, and Marvel wine fridge. The cork floor is perfect for the serious cook, while a huge double window provides excellent light. The former maid's room is an office with large windows and views of New York Harbor, including the Statue of Liberty. Next to it is a powder room and Bosch washer and dryer. There are 3 very large bedrooms with ample closet space. One faces Prospect Park and is in use as a media room. The master suite is in the southeast corner with Park and Harbor views, and includes two large closets and ensuite bath. The south-facing third bedroom is also spacious. There is a hall bath with a south window. Both baths have been updated with modern fixtures while retaining and restoring the original subway tile and pristine cast-iron bathtubs. A complete renovation has brought this apartment to the highest standards. All windows have been replaced with energy efficient double-paned windows that tilt in for cleaning, with the living room and dining room windows crafted in true mahogany. Upgrades throughout the apartment include all new electrical and low-voltage wiring and extensive new plumbing. Doors and door moldings have been stripped and repainted, and hardware has been refinished to restore the original look. All other trim has been fully replaced in the style of the old. The building's renowned white glove service includes a staffed elevator, doorman, live-in super, and porter. We are sorry, but dogs are not allowed. Cats welcome.
