Sa likod ng magandang harapang limestone na itinayo bago ang digmaan, sa North Park Slope, pinagsasama ng boutique condo na ito ang interior na ganap na inayos, makasaysayang harapan at magandang lokasyon.

Umakyat ng isang palapag at pumasok sa maluwag na sala, kainan at kusinang idinisenyo para sa makabagong pagtanggap ng mga bisita. Napaliliwanag ng araw ang kuwarto, na may bay window at tatlong kapansin-pansing bintanang may marangyang balangkas na kahoy. Pangarap ito ng sinumang mahilig magluto: pasadyang kabinet at gawaing kahoy na walnut, mga countertop na Caesarstone, Miele na kalan na may apat na burner at hood na may bentilasyon, Sub-Zero na refrigerator at napakatahimik na Bosch na dishwasher. Kumpleto ito sa matataas na kisame at maluwag na espasyo para sa mga kabinet.

Maluluwag ang dalawang silid-tulugan. Magkakapareho ang banyo ng pangunahing silid-tulugan na parang spa at ang ikalawang buong banyo ng maiinit na sahig, mga gripo at kabit mula sa Restoration Hardware at Kohler, at mapuputing tile ng Ann Sacks.

Kabilang sa mga kaginhawahan sa buong tirahan ang solidong sahig na tabla na walnut na apat na pulgada ang lapad, sentralisadong air conditioning, pampainit na de-gas, full-size na washer at dryer na may bentilasyon, soundproofing sa ilalim ng bawat palapag, mga bintanang nagbabawas ng ingay at video intercom. Napakababa rin ng mga karaniwang singil sa gusali.

Matatagpuan ang St. Johns Place sa bahagi ng Park Slope na umunlad matapos buksan ang Prospect Park noong 1867. Noon ding idinisenyo nina Olmsted at Vaux ang Grand Army Plaza bilang engrandeng pasukan ng parke. Sumunod na itinayo ang mga hilera ng magkakadugtong na bahay, at itinalaga ang Park Slope Historic District noong 1973. Sa may kalapit na kalsada, ipinagdiwang ngayong taon ng St. John’s Episcopal Church—na itinatag noong 1826 at isa sa pinakamatatandang parokya sa Brooklyn—ang ika-200 anibersaryo nito.

Ilang sandali lang ang layo mo sa Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park at pamilihang pang-agrikultura tuwing Sabado. Malapit din ang mga tren na 2, 3, B at Q. Maikling lakad lang ang mga tindahan, restawran at café sa Seventh Avenue—lahat ito ay madaling mapupuntahan mula sa isang tahimik at punong-kahoy na kalye.

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.
