Just a half block from the park in prime South Slope, this south-facing floor-through 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom condo sits one flight up from the stoop on one of the most serene, quintessential blocks in Park Slope. A rare mix of old and new. The home recently underwent a complete overhaul, adding modern comforts like a stacked washer/dryer and a professionally designed kitchen, all while lovingly preserving the prewar details that make this apartment special: exposed brick, ornate tin ceilings, stained glass, crown and baseboard moldings, and beautifully restored pine floors throughout. The expansive windowed kitchen offers floor-to-ceiling maple cabinetry, stainless steel Bosch appliances, a double-door refrigerator with freezer drawer, quartz countertops, open shelving, a deep sink, and excellent storage throughout. The windowed bathroom pairs an original clawfoot tub with clean white tile, an updated vanity and faucet, and new overhead lighting—a perfect marriage of vintage character and everyday function. The separate dining area comfortably seats six or more, giving nice separation from the living room and kitchen. And then there's the park. South-facing bay windows frame leafy treetop views, and with Prospect Park just half a block away, its meadows, trails, and Long Meadow ballfields become an extension of your own backyard—morning runs, weekend picnics, and dog walks are all just steps from your door. Pet-friendly and self-managed, this superb apartment is also close to the F and G trains, plus the eateries, pubs, grocery stores, and locally owned shops that make South Slope such a vibrant, sought-after neighborhood. Stroller parking is available in the foyer, with additional open storage in the cellar. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 5 - **Sqft**: 725 sqft - **Stories**: 4 - **Year Built**: 1920 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,724 - **Common Charges**: $298 / Monthly - **Monthly Taxes**: $494 / mo - **Listed On**: Sep 16, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Common On Floor - Common Area - In Unit - High Ceilings - Dishwasher - Stainless Steel Appliance(s) - Hardwood ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$7,113 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($250,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Park Slope instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 100% (50 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 40% (50 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 35 days (49 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 69 days (49 sales) Based on condo two-bedroom sales in Park Slope with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. ### Price trend Median sale price, condo and house two-bedroom sales in Park Slope | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,325,000 | 28 | | 2018 | $1,201,250 | 16 | | 2021 | $1,155,000 | 37 | | 2022 | $1,852,500 | 34 | | 2023 | $1,292,500 | 14 | | 2024 | $1,442,500 | 16 | | 2025 | $1,465,000 | 27 | | 2026 YTD | $1,590,000 | 19 | Based on recorded condo and house two-bedroom sales in Park Slope. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through June 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
