35 PROSPECT Park W #5A

Here in one of Park Slope's most sought after, full service buildings, you will find this sprawling 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with all the old world glamour and elegance of a bygone era. Take the elevator up into a well appointed vestibule shared by only 2 apartments. Open the front door into a gracious foyer which nicely separates the sleeping quarters from the living, dining and kitchen areas. The entrance gallery leads to an oversized living room spanning 26 feet. In the center of the room is a wood burning working fireplace. With windows overlooking Prospect Park, delicate sconces providing light and newly refinished herringbone parquet floors, this room is a delight to spend time in. An open doorway leads into the formal dining room which can comfortably accommodate large holiday parties or be the perfect setting for elegant, intimate dinners. This room has views of both the Brooklyn rooftops and the Manhattan skyline. The windowed, eat in kitchen will need some updating. However, the original, solid wood cabinets with glass front doors and brass hardware remain. There is also plenty of storage space and room to cook. The washer and dryer are in what was a butler's pantry. Off the kitchen is the maid's room with its own private bathroom. This is often used as a third bedroom or as an office. The other two bedrooms are reached from the gallery. Each has an en-suite bath and 2 large, deep closets. Both rooms have pre war proportions, lovely original floors and windows that face the park. Additional private storage in the basement and a secondary service elevator add convenience. The building was built as a coop in 1929 by the legendary Emory Roth. It has a magnificent lobby and is well known for its professional staff and first class service. Directly across the street from majestic Prospect Park, easy access to many subway lines, close to shops, restaurants, the Farmers Market, the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, this is a perfect location. Sorry, no dogs are permitted.
