Park Slope Brownstone Two-Bedroom With Tin Ceilings, in-Unit Laundry, 1.5 Baths Asks $5,500

Traces of historic features remain but room has been made for some modern updates such as an open kitchen in this two-bedroom floor-through close to Prospect Park. It’s located on the second floor of 565 10th Street, a circa 1882 Neo-Grec brownstone with three levels and three units in the Park Slope Historic District.

Its brownstone facade and wood cornice has the incised lines, angular features and strappy details that characterize the style. The low stoop with its double entrance door at the ground level retains its original ironwork with burly newel posts.

That low stoop and the layout of the unit indicate the structure was probably designed as an apartment building rather than converted from a single-family house. Likely originally six rooms with a double parlor in front and kitchen and dining room at the rear, the apartment is now set up with an open dining room-kitchen in the front, living room in the center and two bedrooms at the back.

The ceilings are high, and there are plentiful original casings, picture-frame moldings, shutters and parquet with inlaid borders with a knot pattern. Set into a niche, the kitchen has stone counters, white cupboards, a white subway tile backsplash and a dishwasher.

The dining room and two bedrooms have tin ceilings. The full bath has a classic black and white scheme with basketweave tile floor, subway tile walls, a pedestal sink and tub with shower.

With five closets, there’s quite a bit of storage space, and a sizable bonus room could work for more storage, an office or sleeping area. Space has also been found for in-unit laundry and a half bath.

Listed by Denise LaChance of Compass, the unit is asking $5,500 a month. Worth it?
