On a quintessential Park Slope block (just two blocks from the park), this 20-foot-wide red-brick townhouse at 428 7th Street is a perfect home base for anyone with a green thumb and outdoor aspirations. Asking $3,995,000, the two-family townhouse consists of a sunny garden flat topped by an owner’s triplex, with a private back patio, a bedroom sun deck, and a landscaped front garden. Historic details like crown molding, tall windows, exposed brick, and interior archways from the home’s turn-of-the-20th-century origins have been well-preserved, and there’s plenty of space to work with if you have your own 21st-century vision.
Up the stoop from a gated front garden, enter through classic double townhouse doors. Framed by 11-foot ceilings and border-inlaid hardwood floors, a formal living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace; the dining room is served by a wall of closets.
A light-filled eat-in kitchen has stone worktops, modern wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. A compact deck leads down to a completely magical south-facing backyard surrounded by a living fence of climbing ivy.
Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms, a home office/bonus room, and two full baths. One of the bedrooms has a private sun deck overlooking the back garden. A windowed laundry room adds convenience. All bedrooms have ample closets and plenty of sunlight.
A one-bedroom (plus office) garden flat awaits use as a rental unit or guest suite. A tidy, updated eat-in kitchen features custom millwork, cheerful checkerboard tile floors, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Both units have access to a large cellar with a side-by-side washer and dryer and additional storage space.
