557 9th Street

Maligayang pagdating sa tahanan ng isa sa mga pinakaprestihiyoso at kaakit-akit na tirahan sa Park Slope: isang ganap na na-renovate na Neo-Italian Renaissance limestone townhouse na sinelang ang klasikong alindog sa modernong luho.

Mula sa sandaling ikaw ay tumapak sa tatlong-sideline bayfront facade na may naibalik na limestone at detalyadong hagdang-bato, alam mong nakatagpo ka ng isang bagay na espesyal. Sa loob, ang mataas na kisame na sampung talampakan, masalimuot na plaster moldings, orihinal na pocket doors, at wainscoting ay bumabalik sa sophisticated na kadakilaan ng nakaraan; lahat ay sinusuportahan ng isang maluwang, maliwanag na foyer at isang maganda, may bintanang hagdang-bato na nag-aanyaya sa iyo na pumasok nang mas malalim sa tahanan.

Ang puso ng tahanan, ang kusina at espasyo ng kainan, ay walang iba kundi nakakamanghang tanawin. Ganap na pasadistika ang mga kabinet (kasama ang isang malaking pantry), Silestone countertops, Carrara marble backsplash, isang anim na burner na Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigeration, at Bosch dishwasher ay nagsanib-puwersa sa isang walnut-at-Carrara marble center island at isang mirrored bar alcove upang lumikha ng isang culinary space na karapat-dapat sa pagdiriwang o pagtitipon ng pamilya. Isang pormal na lugar ng kainan ang madaling tumanggap ng walo o higit pa, habang ang isang deck na may gas grill hook ups ay bumababa sa isang propesyonal na landscaped na hardin, na ginagawang madali ang indoor-outdoor living.

Sa itaas, ang ikalawang palapag ay nagpapakita ng isang mapayapang master suite sa ilalim ng oversized skylight. Ang tahimik na kanlungan na ito ay may bay-windowed bedroom, pasadistang walk-in closet, at isang spa-like na en-suite bath na nagtatampok ng freestanding cast-iron soaking tub sa ilalim ng skylight, double vanities, at rain-shower enclosure. Dalawang karagdagang maluwang na silid-tulugan at isang skylit full bath ang kumukumpleto sa itaas na palapag.

Sa ibaba, ang garden-level ay nag-aalok ng isang maraming gamit at nakakaanyayang espasyo, perpekto para sa isang home office, pag-aaral, aklatan, den o silid-pamilya - kumpleto sa naibalik na wainscoting, built-in glass cabinetry, dekoratibong fireplace mantle, at wet bar. Isang full bath at laundry/mudroom na may madaling access sa labas ay ginagawang perpekto ang antas na ito para sa mga bisita o flexible living. Ang full-length basement ay nagdaragdag ng masaganang imbakan habang naglalaman ito ng mga mekanikal na sistema ng tahanan.

Walang detalye ang nakaligtaan. Ang tahanan ay ganap na na-modernize na may bagong plumbing at electrical, radiant floor heating sa lahat ng full baths, five-zone central heat and air, double-paned windows, custom oak flooring, Hunter Douglas treatments, at isang bagong bubong na pinagsasama ang makasaysayang kadakilaan sa kaginhawaan ng ika-21 siglo.

Lahat ng ito, at ikaw ay ilang hakbang lamang mula sa 526 ektarya ng berde, libangan, at kapayapaan sa Prospect Park; ilang hakbang mula sa mga restoran, boutique, café, paaralan, at sigla ng komunidad na naglalarawan sa Park Slope.

Ito ay higit pa sa isang tahanan, ito ay isang bihira at nakaka-engganyong karanasan sa pamumuhay na pinagsasama ang kasaysayan, pagka-makinis, kaginhawaan, at alindog ng kapitbahayan.

Welcome home to one of Park Slope's most distinguished and enchanting residences: a fully renovated, Neo-Italian Renaissance limestone townhouse that artfully blends classic charm with modern luxury.

From the moment you step onto the three-sided bayfront facade with its restored limestone and detailed stoop, you know you've found something special. Inside, soaring ten-foot ceilings, ornate plaster moldings, original pocket doors, and wainscoting evoke the sophisticated grandeur of a bygone era; all complemented by a sweeping, light-filled foyer and a graceful, windowed staircase that invites you deeper into the home.

The heart of the home, the kitchen and dining space, is nothing short of breathtaking. Fully custom cabinetry (including a generous pantry), Silestone countertops, Carrara marble backsplash, a six-burner Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and Bosch dishwasher join forces with a walnut-and-Carrara marble center island and a mirrored bar alcove to create a culinary space worthy of entertaining or family gatherings. A formal dining area easily accommodates eight or more, while a deck with gas grill hookups leads down to a professionally landscaped garden, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. 

Upstairs, the second floor unveils a serene master suite beneath an oversized skylight. This serene sanctuary includes a bay-windowed bedroom, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like en-suite bath featuring a freestanding cast-iron soaking tub beneath the skylight, double vanities, and a rain-shower enclosure. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a skylit full bath complete the upper level.

Downstairs, the garden-level offers a versatile and inviting space, perfect for a home office, study, library, den or family room - complete with restored wainscoting, built-in glass cabinetry, decorative fireplace mantle, and a wet bar. A full bath and laundry/mudroom with easy exterior access make this level ideal for guests or flexible living. The full-length basement adds generous storage while housing the home's mechanical systems.

No detail has been overlooked. The home has been fully modernized with new plumbing and electrical, radiant floor heating in all full baths, five-zone central heat and air, double-paned windows, custom oak flooring, Hunter Douglas treatments, and a new roof marrying historic grandeur with 21st-century comfort and convenience.

All this, and you're just a short stroll from 526 acres of greenery, recreation, and serenity at Prospect Park; just steps from the restaurants, boutiques, cafés, schools, and community vibrancy that define Park Slope.

This is more than a home, it is a rare and immersive living experience that brings together history, elegance, comfort, and neighborhood charm.
