About This Property

A Park Block trophy home.  608 2nd Street is a four story mid block limestone with Park Slope provenance.  Located on one of, if not the neighborhood's best blocks, 608 2nd Street provides almost 4,000 square feet of classic townhouse charm.  The original details throughout the home have been lovingly preserved, especially on the home's parlor floor.

Ascend the classic stoop and step into the exquisite parlor floor-which impresses with original woodwork and soaring 10'4" ceilings. The front parlor features the three windows of the barrel front facade, topped with original stained glass. Moving through the home, intricate, handcrafted, woodwork leads you to the elegant library, featuring coffered ceilings, a decorative fireplace, and custom floor-to-ceiling built-ins with original leaded glass doors. The rear of this floor houses a bright butler's pantry/wet bar illuminated by a large skylight, alongside a full bathroom overlooking the garden.

The third floor of the house is dedicated to the primary suite, featuring a massive front bedroom with large windows, crown moldings, and a decorative fireplace. The flexible rear space is connected by a walkthrough dressing area with two sinks and ample closet space. In the hallway, you will find an inglenook, a unique feature that only some of the turn of the century townhomes possess. The windowed primary bathroom has a soaking tub and shower.

The third floor is highlighted by a spectacular stained-glass skylight in the hallway. This level offers 3 bedrooms, two of which are extra spacious with decorative fireplaces and ample closet space. Connecting the 2 large bedrooms are the original private vanities and closets.

The garden floor features a grand, formal dining room with a decorative mantle. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with a Bosch gas stove, double ovens, a large pantry, and space for counter stool seating. The rear garden room leads to a laundry area with hookups, a convenient half bath, and access to the south-facing backyard. The additional ground-floor entrance provides additional shed storage for bikes and strollers.

Centrally located, 608 2nd Street has easy access to everything that folks move to Park Slope to enjoy.  The 3rd Street entrance to Prospect Park is around the corner, shops and dining on 7th Ave are only 2 blocks away, and the house is zoned for PS 321. New neighborhood hotspots include Vato, Il Leone, Heaps, and Mariscos El Submarino. Neighborhood favorites still standing include Al Di La, Cousin Johns, and La Taqueria.
