For $4.6M, this classic Park Slope limestone updates history without erasing the details

On a leafy Park Slope block, the townhouse at 351 Fourth Street embodies the neighborhood’s historic elegance. Built in 1909, the restored limestone residence consists of a two-bedroom garden flat and a gracious upper duplex. Behind a charming bay window, interiors have been renovated for the 21st century with a careful hand, while preserving details like original millwork and plaster walls and moldings. Asking $4,595,000, the 20-foot-wide home offers a total of five bedrooms, a rear garden and a deck.

Up a stately stoop, through original double townhouse doors, the parlor level unfolds beneath tall ceilings, beginning with a formal sitting area and a family room with built-in shelving. Contemporary comforts throughout include a three-zone HVAC system, custom closets, and high-end appliances and fixtures.

A modern classic farmhouse kitchen mixes subtle color with hard-working appliances and clean finishes like a subway tile backsplash. At the rear, a deck awaits for dining, with stairs leading to a landscaped back yard.

On the top floor is a large primary bedroom with a custom-outfitted walk-in closet. The ensuite bath follows the home’s classic interior style, adding design flair like stone counters, brass fixtures, and herringbone-patterned floor tile.

Also on this floor are two additional bedrooms and a cozy office/study. Another rare perk for city living: A full laundry room.

Back on street level, a garden apartment with a private entrance offers the opportunity for substantial rental income given the neighborhood’s popularity. This floor-through flat currently offers two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry facilities and access to the home’s landscaped garden. This apartment could, of course, be combined with the upper floors for even more living space.
