Park Slope co-op asks $949K
Second fl oor apartment boasts sizeable
BY STEPHEN ZACKS
A two-bedroom, one-bath
co-op is for sale in an eightunit
circa 1900 Neo-Georgian
walkup in the Park Slope Historic
District.
The apartment is on the
second fl oor at 509 2nd Street
and features plenty of woodwork,
window and door trim
and built-ins with egg and
dart molding, fl uting and classical
motifs.
The dining room, set up
here as a living room, has
built-in china cabinets and
drawers topped by mirrors, a
bracketed plate rail, and a parquet
fl oor.
The kitchen is in the rear
and is not fancy but is sizable,
with two windows on opposite
walls and room for a table
and chairs. It has wood fl oors,
white tile walls, a tile counter,
wood cabinets and built-in
pantry with wood doors.
At the opposite end of the
unit is the one-time parlor,
confi gured here as the master
bedroom. It has two windows
in the bay and a stained glass
window, parquet fl oors with an
inlaid border, and a pier mirror
with classical columns. It
has a pass-through window to
another room, a fl exible bedroom
or second parlor, pictured
here as an offi ce.
The layout takes advantage
of a central air shaft, offering
light to the middle rooms.
The bathroom is small, with
an awkwardly placed sink. A
smaller, wall-hung sink and a
small clawfoot tub might give
the fi xtures some breathing
room.
There are four closets altogether
and deeded storage in
the basement. The building
also has laundry, stroller and
bike parking, and a shared
back patio.
509 2nd Street is located in
the Park Slope Historic District.
Most of the block was
built in the 1890s, but its Neo-
Georgian details suggest a
later construction, 1900 or after.
The building combines a
brownstone stoop with a brick
facade and a limestone ground
fl oor, sills and lintels. It’s has
a Neo-Renaissance doorway,
scroll and fl oriate keystones
