Welcome to an extraordinary slice of history and modern luxury, perfectly nestled on one of Park Slope's most picturesque streets: the grand entrance to Prospect Park on Third Street. This c.1899 triple-bay, four-story, 4,500 sq.ft. brownstone has been lovingly restored by its third and current owners, who have meticulously preserved the home's 19th-century charm. Marvel at the pocket doors, wainscoting, intricate cabinetry, and stained-glass panels, while enjoying the comfort of a fully modernized kitchen, baths, and systems.
Upon entering the garden level, you are greeted by an expansive entry hall leading to an elegant, south-facing dining room adorned with built-in cabinetry and a carved wood mantel. Wrapped in exquisite William Yeoward English wallcovering, this room is designed for grand entertaining, offering the perfect setting for intimate dinners or festive celebrations with ample space for all your guests.
The bespoke Eggersmann-designed eat-in chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring an oversized waterfall island in book-matched granite, complete with a copper bar sink. Enjoy cooking with top-tier appliances, including a 48-inch SubZero refrigerator, six-burner Wolf stove, Bosch oven and microwave, and a Miele dishwasher. The space is not only functional but artful, with a ledgestone backsplash that extends through a wall of glass, connecting the kitchen to the tranquil garden beyond. Step through French doors to access the serene outdoor space, complete with a gas grill and planting beds -- a haven for both relaxation and entertaining.
The adjacent laundry/mud room is a spacious and versatile area, ideal for folding and ironing or prepping for gardening and outdoor activities. A privately tucked-away powder room featuring Art Nouveau tile in soothing neutral tones completes this level.
The parlor floor is a sanctuary for formal gatherings or quiet moments. With 12-foot ceilings, the space includes a brilliantly sunny and grand living room adorned with hand-painted Gracie wallcoverings and an oversized mantel. A middle parlor is a perfect den or media room with bar sink and fridge, and features horsehair wallcovering, leaded-glass cabinetry, a gas fireplace, and a private office that overlooks the garden - a quiet retreat for productive work.
The third floor is entirely dedicated to the primary suite: a luxurious haven bathed in natural light through its triple bay and fourth window. The bedroom is elegantly paneled in Jim Thompson silk with matching drapery and features a decorative fireplace with a gilded overmantel. The expansive en-suite bathroom boasts a double marble vanity, Roman bath, step-in shower, and a private toilet, while an entire wall of concealed storage offers luxurious closet space. The rear-facing bedroom, perfect as a study or sitting room, includes a working gas fireplace and opens to a 150-square-foot deck overlooking the garden, a peaceful spot to start -- or end -- your day.
The fourth floor offers even more space and versatility, featuring a massive front-facing bedroom with an en-suite bath adorned with a green resin vanity, tub, shower, skylight, exposed brick, and built-in storage. The rear bedroom, with its wood mantel, cast-iron fireback, and abundant storage, has a bathroom accessible privately or from the hall. An intricate stained-glass skylight and linen closet complete this floor, filling the space with light and character..
From its restored original detail, which proves 19th-century craftsmanship is enduring, to its sophisticated upgrades and fine decoration, 545 Third Street is the perfect example of why Park Slope is a renowned destination neighborhood.
