628 3rd Street sits at the edge of Prospect Park on a block that feels like a park itself, thanks to its old growth trees, triple wide sidewalks, and 23-foot deep landscaped front yards. Designed with a beautiful blond brick and limestone façade, 628 3rd Street was completed by the Kings & Westchester Land Company in 1910. This beautifully renovated townhouse comprises two apartments across six levels, each with its own separate entrance. Both apartments have stunning outdoor spaces, newly renovated windowed-kitchens, three full bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath. Many of this historic home’s original details remain, with modern updates added for comfort and convenience.
Coming home to the lower apartment, you’ll enter through a foyer and into a full-length open plan living room and dining room with a coffered ceiling. South-facing glass doors open up to an expansive side yard and backyard. The eat-in kitchen is newly appointed and filled with light from two exposures, including glass doors that lead to a bluestone garden patio and raised garden beds.
From the living room, an elegant mid-century modern staircase leads up to the second floor, where you’ll find three spacious bedrooms. The primary bedroom, which includes an ensuite half bath, features a four-windowed bay that looks out onto the trees and gardens of 3rd Street. Downstairs you’ll find a spacious finished English basement with a full bath, laundry room, and door to the front yard.
The upper apartment, with its own entrance and address of 628 A, begins with a small foyer and stairs that lead to the third floor. In the living room a large four-windowed bay frames the trees of 3rd Street. The dining room is illuminated with large south facing windows, and leads to a sleek windowed-kitchen, windowed-laundry room, and half bath. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom steps out to a beautiful deck. Back inside, the central stair leads all the way to the roof, which would be ideal for a large roof deck with stunning views.
628 3rd Street sits at the top of a tranquil, low-traffic block and benefits from the fresh air and cool breezes of Prospect Park, just a stone’s throw away. The celebrated restaurants, boutiques, and other amenities that make Park Slope such a desirable place to live are all close by. Come see this rare townhouse jewel and make it the backdrop for your next chapter in Brooklyn.
