Iza elegantne vapnenačke fasade iz predratnog razdoblja u sjevernom Park Slopeu, ovaj stan u butik-kondominiju spaja potpuno renoviran interijer s povijesnim pročeljem i izvrsnom lokacijom.

Popnite se jedan kat i zakoračite u otvoren prostor za dnevni boravak, blagovaonicu i kuhinju, osmišljen za moderna druženja. Svijetlu, suncem obasjanu prostoriju uokviruje osunčani erker s trima arhitektonski dojmljivim prozorima obrubljenima bogatim drvom. Kuhinja je san svakog kuhara: namještaj po mjeri od orahovine, radne ploče Caesarstone, štednjak Miele s četiri plamenika i napom s odvodom, hladnjak Sub-Zero i perilica posuđa Bosch koja radi gotovo nečujno. Visoki stropovi omogućuju obilje prostora za odlaganje u ormarićima.

Obje su spavaće sobe prostrane. Kupaonica uz glavnu spavaću sobu i druga kupaonica s kadom imaju podno grijanje, opremu Restoration Hardware i Kohler te snježnobijele pločice Ann Sacks.

Udobnost upotpunjuju podovi od masivnih dasaka orahovine širine 10 cm, centralni klima-uređaj, grijanje na plin, perilica i sušilica pune veličine sa sušilicom s odvodom zraka, zvučna izolacija ispod svakog poda, prozori koji smanjuju buku i videointerfon. Zajednički su troškovi pritom iznimno niski.

Ulica St. Johns Place nalazi se u dijelu Park Slopea koji se počeo razvijati nakon otvaranja Prospect Parka 1867. godine, kada su Olmsted i Vaux projektirali i Grand Army Plazu kao svečani ulaz u park. Uslijedila je gradnja nizova kuća, a povijesna četvrt Park Slope proglašena je zaštićenom 1973. godine. Nedaleko niz ulicu nalazi se episkopalna crkva St. John’s, osnovana 1826. i jedna od najstarijih brooklynskih župa, koja je ove godine proslavila 200. obljetnicu.

Danas ste nadomak Grand Army Plaze, Prospect Parka i subotnje tržnice lokalnih proizvođača, a u blizini su i linije podzemne željeznice 2, 3, B i Q. Trgovine, restorani i kafići na Sedmoj aveniji udaljeni su tek kratkom šetnjom, a sve se nalazi u mirnoj, drvoredom okruženoj ulici.

Behind a handsome prewar limestone facade in North Park Slope, this boutique condo pairs a gut-renovated interior with a historic facade and prime location.

Climb one flight up and step into an open living, dining and kitchen space made for modern entertaining. The bright and sun drenched room is framed by a sunny bay, where three architecturally striking windows are encased in rich wood. The kitchen is a chef’s dream: custom walnut millwork, Caesarstone counters, a four-burner Miele range with vented hood, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a whisper-quiet Bosch dishwasher. Complete with high ceilings offering abundant cabinet storage.

Both bedrooms are generously sized. The ensuite spa bath and the second full bath share radiant heated floors, Restoration Hardware and Kohler fixtures, and snowy Ann Sacks tile.

Comforts throughout include 4-inch-wide solid walnut plank floors, central air, gas heat, a full-size vented washer and dryer, soundproofing beneath every floor, noise-reducing windows and a video intercom. Complete with especially low common charges.

St. Johns Place sits in the part of Park Slope that took shape after Prospect Park opened in 1867, when Olmsted and Vaux also designed Grand Army Plaza as the park’s grand entrance. Row houses followed, and the Park Slope Historic District was designated in 1973. Just down the street, St. John’s Episcopal Church, founded in 1826 and one of Brooklyn’s oldest parishes, celebrated its 200th anniversary this year.

Today you’re moments from Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park and the Saturday farmer’s market, with the 2, 3, B and Q trains all close by. Seventh Avenue’s shops, restaurants and cafes are a short stroll away, all from a quiet, tree-lined street.
