The charm and elegance of Park Slope living is embodied in this finely-updated 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom gem in a handsome limestone coop. Set on a lovely tree-lined block, moments from Prospect Park, this prewar beauty enjoys light pouring all day, thanks to windows in every room and triple exposures.

An airy entry foyer welcomes you in, introducing the home's stunning features and gracious layout. Enhancing the ambience are rich parquet and strip hardwood floors, magnificent original built-in woodwork, a decorative period fireplace, and striking wood window trim throughout.

Relax and entertain in the generously-sized living room brightened by oversized windows, affording plenty of space for various seating arrangements. Down the closet-lined hall is the large inviting formal dining room for hosting dinner parties, and a fully-renovated kitchen appointed with Brookhaven semi-custom cabinetry and floating shelves, quartzite and walnut butcher block countertops, and a backsplash of handmade tiles by Mosaic Tile. The chef will also appreciate the GE Profile counter-depth French door refrigerator, gas range and over-the-range microwave with convection, and a fully-integrated Bosch dishwasher.

The primary bedroom is spacious and serene. Two additional bedrooms provide a perfect place to unwind as well, one with an en-suite half bath. The main bathroom, also updated, features marble walls and flooring. Plus there's a convenient in-unit washer-dryer for laundry ease.
