Park Slope Stunner! 854 President is located in Park Slope's coveted historic district just one block from Prospect Park making this one of the most sought after addresses in Brooklyn. Built in 1888 by renowned architect William Flanagan, 854 President Street is one of just 10, 4 story townhomes with iconic curved-sided bay windows rising 2 stories above the high garden basement level. 854 President Street is the epitome of grace, comfort, and classic Brooklyn brownstone living boasting meticulous attention to detail throughout.
The home is 20' wide allowing for a gracious floor plan of approximately 4200 square feet. Highlights include a large eat-in-kitchen + mud room, generously proportioned front parlor, a fully equipped kitchen conveniently located next to the formal dining room adorned with a restored built-in break front, 6 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms (2 have been recently renovated), and spacious laundry room.
Museum-quality period detail abounds: exquisitely restored woodwork, inlaid mother-of-pearl detailing, brilliant stained glass, functioning pocket doors and shutters, original mahogany dressing rooms with working sinks. Sophistication on a grand scale: high ceilings with plaster moldings, oversized bay windows, parquet floors and to-die-for fireplace mantels throughout. The charming brick fireplace on the garden-level kitchen is wood-burning.
The townhouse is currently being used as a single family home but is a legal 2 family dwelling making the possibly of passive rental income an option. Or use the additional space as home office, au pair apartment, or incorporate it into the existing single family home layout. 854 President Street has been modernized with central air, updated electrical wiring and plumbing.
