Park Slope Open House Picks: January 20

Are you looking for a new home? Do you love the park? Do you hate stairs? One of these places might be right for you!

206 Lincoln Place #1, between 7th & 8th Avenues
Open House: Sunday January 20, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
This studio apartment is on the ground floor of a 10-unit brownstone co-op and listed by Warren Lewis Sotheby’s at $275,000 ($500 maintenance).  They also have the listing for apartment #2 in the same building (with an open house at the same time) which is directly behind this unit and could be combined to form a 2-bed, 2-bath home with an 800-square-foot landscaped private garden. Keep in mind: the apartment is on the same block as the Berkeley Carroll School which means that it could get pretty loud as school lets out, and parking could be troublesome.

39 Plaza Street West #MA, at Berkeley Place
Open House: Sunday January 20, 12:30 – 2:00 p.m.
This 1-bedroom apartment offers a private entrance. Imagine! Walking right off the street (which faces nothing but greenery), through your historic wrought-iron door and directly into your living room. Crazy. But if you’d like to change it up, you’ve also got the marble-floored lobby with 24-hour door staff. The apartment itself was renovated five years ago, and the eat-in windowed kitchen features wood cabinets, granite counters, and tile floor. The place has plenty of storage space with its six closets, and the pet-friendly building has laundry in the basement and a well-kept courtyard. It’s listed by Halstead at $445,000 ($1,420 maintenance) but there is an additional and unusual perk: the seller will pay the first six months of maintenance charges as a seller concession at closing.

487 Third Street #2, between 6th & 7th Avenues
Open House: Sunday January 20, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
This 2.5-bedroom parlor-level apartment is all about wide open spaces: the “soaring” 12-ft ceilings, the “huge” windows, and the open kitchen. The master bedroom (pictured above) is also extra large and set in the back of the building, on the opposite side of the second bedroom. Next to it is a bonus windowed room with loft area which could be used as a third bedroom, nursery, office, or secret club headquarters. Some nice features include exposed brick and wood floors, and right off the master bedroom is the pièce de résistance: the coveted private terrace.  The pet-friendly building offers additional basement storage and onsite laundry. It’s listed at $765,000 ($797 maintenance) by Corcoran.

40 Prospect Park West #2A, at Garfield Place
Open House: Sunday January 20, 12:30 – 2:00 p.m.
Enjoy living right across the street from the park in this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom pre-war apartment. The place is perfect for those who like entertaining with its spacious living room, entry gallery, and dining room. Both bedrooms are decently proportioned, with the master bedroom featuring an en-suite bath. Additionally, the apartment offers a windowed eat-in kitchen, parquet floors, original arches, and built-in bookshelves. The co-op building provides basement laundry, a bike room, and private storage cages. Priced by Warren Lewis Sotheby’s at $1,025,000 ($1,435 maintenance).
