315 15th St, New York City, NY, 11215

315 15th Street is a beautifully appointed two-family home situated on a tree-lined Park Slope block. From the moment you enter the garden level, you are greeted by a well-designed and tastefully decorated owner’s duplex. The lovely living room has original built-in display cabinetry, accent lighting and a refinished fireplace mantlepiece with beautiful cast iron cover. The kitchen has a country farmhouse feel while incorporating elements that give it a modern twist: beamed ceiling, patterned ceramic tiled walls, floating shelves, tons of storage space with hints of reclaimed wood, and a waterfall marble countertop. Top of the line stainless steel appliances, a large and custom-milled pantry alcove, and a recipe planning nook make this kitchen the perfect place to bring meals together. It opens directly out onto a sun-splashed dining area with custom banquette seating, hand blown glass pendant lights and industrial wall sconces, and is framed by a wall of windows offering unfettered views to the garden. The dining area is designed so the entire area can be used comfortably for entertaining with style. <p> Make your way to the parlor level where three bedrooms reflect the same attention to preservation and smart design as the garden floor. The large, south-facing primary bedroom has high ceilings with pristine moldings and ornate period wood trims framing the windows and doors, and a decorative fireplace stripped and restored to accentuate the gorgeous original woodwork. The two rear bedrooms each have oversized windows and a mix of impeccably maintained detail and modern touches, and each features access to the terrace overlooking the garden. <p> The duplex offers one-and-a-half bathrooms, including one colorful and sleek spa-quality full bath with a deep soaking tub, tiled walls and backsplash. Unique custom fixtures and a small decorative transom window allow natural light to enter this peaceful oasis. You’ll also find beautiful hardwood floors throughout the space, and a split-system A/C for maximum comfort year round. The finished basement houses the laundry area, an office space, and lots of extra storage. <p> The top level of the townhouse, accessed separately via the front stairs, is a nicely finished income-producing 1+ bedroom rental apartment featuring a full kitchen, living room/dining room and office, and a large north-facing bedroom. <p> This corner of Park Slope offers a wealth of great shopping and grocery options, pet stores, salons, gift shops, the Armory Y, and a number of notable neighborhood restaurants and cafes such as Fonda, Lore, Winner, Brookvin and Ten Sushi. It’s a quick trip up to Prospect Park, and close to the community garden at 6th Ave as well. Public transportation is easily accessible with the F, G and R train lines close by as well as several bus options on 5th and 7th Aves.
