Four flights above Fifth Avenue, Park Slope’s most vibrant stretch of shops and restaurants, this two-bedroom co-op is full of energy and light. Sun comes in over the rooftops and moves through the rooms all day. From up here you get the neighborhood’s energy without its noise.

The living room has the prewar character Brooklyn is famous for: exposed brick, newly refinished hardwood floors, and a working wood-burning fireplace for winter evenings. The renovated kitchen has granite counters and high-end stainless appliances, including a Bertazzoni range, a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and a Bosch dishwasher. The primary bedroom looks out over neighboring gardens. The second bedroom is a flexible space, ideal for a guest room, nursery, or home office. Central air (split system) and an in-unit washer/dryer make everyday life easy and comfortable.

The apartment also comes with half roof rights, which open the possibility of a private roof deck (subject to board approval), plus storage in the basement. The building is a well-kept, pet-friendly 1910 co-op with just eight units. The location is hard to beat. Al Di La, one of Park Slope’s best and most respected restaurants, is right downstairs. JJ Byrne Park and the Old Stone House are a few blocks away, and the R train is about five minutes from your front door. With Park Slope’s brownstone blocks to the east, and Gowanus, which changes almost daily, to the west, you’re truly in the middle of one of the most desirable areas of Brooklyn.
