Description

628 3rd Street sits at the edge of Prospect Park on a block that feels like a park itself, thanks to its old growth trees, triple wide sidewalks, and 23-foot deep landscaped front yards. Designed with a beautiful blond brick and limestone façade, 628 3rd Street was completed by the Kings & Westchester Land Company in 1910, as part of a picturesque row from 598 to 634 3rd St. This beautifully renovated townhouse comprises two apartments across six levels, each with its own separate entrance.

Designed with a beautiful blond brick and limestone façade, 628 3rd Street was completed by the Kings & Westchester Land Company in 1910, as part of a picturesque row from 598 to 634 3rd St. This beautifully renovated townhouse comprises two apartments across six levels, each with its own separate entrance. Both apartments have stunning outdoor spaces, newly renovated windowed-kitchens, three full bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath. Many of this historic home’s original details remain, with modern updates added for comfort and convenience. Live in one unit and collect high rents from the other, or easily adapt the building for use as a sprawling single-family home.

Coming home to the lower apartment, you’ll enter through a foyer and into a full-length open plan living room and dining room with a coffered ceiling. South-facing glass doors open up to an expansive side yard and backyard. The eat-in kitchen is newly appointed and filled with light from two exposures, including glass doors that lead to a bluestone garden patio and raised garden beds. Tall trees from the neighbors’ yards provide privacy and a sense of being in the country. This is a wonderful oasis from the bustle of Brooklyn, where you can relax, entertain, and perhaps put your green thumb to good use.

From the living room, an elegant mid-century modern staircase leads up to the second floor, where you’ll find three spacious bedrooms. The primary bedroom, which includes an ensuite half bath, features a four-windowed bay that looks out onto the trees and gardens of 3rd Street. Thanks to this home’s innovative design and large extension, each of these three bedrooms is well separated from the others, providing a nice degree of privacy. Downstairs you’ll find a spacious finished English basement with a full bath, laundry room, and door to the front yard. This is a perfect place for a media room, rec room, office and many other uses.

The upper apartment, with its own entrance and address of 628 A, begins with a small foyer and stairs that lead to the third floor. Here you’ll find the original Arts and Crafts style staircase creates a warm and relaxed atmosphere. In the living room a large four-windowed bay frames the trees of 3rd Street and lets light deep into the house all day long. The original fireplace and mantle remain hidden behind a custom designed wall of shelving and cabinetry. The dining room is illuminated with large south facing windows, and leads to a large pantry, sleek windowed-kitchen, windowed-laundry room, and half bath. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom steps out to a beautiful deck. Back inside, the central stair leads all the way to the roof, which would be ideal for a large roof deck. Here you’ll gaze over the tree-tops at stunning views of Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and Manhattan in the distance.

628 3rd Street sits at the top of a tranquil, low-traffic block and benefits from the fresh air and cool breezes of Prospect Park, just a stone’s throw away. The celebrated restaurants, boutiques, and other amenities that make Park Slope such a desirable place to live are all close by, including the Farmer’s Market at Grand Army Plaza, The Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden. The F, G, 2, 3, N, R, and other subway lines are close by for a quick commute to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn. Come see this rare townhouse jewel and make it the backdrop for your next chapter in Brooklyn.
