384 9TH STREET, BROOKLYN





INCREDIBLE PARK SLOPE PRIME RENOVATION OPPORTUNITY LISTING ID: #164913 2 FAMILIES, 4 STORIES, 7 BEDS 2.5 BATHS, 3,824 SQ FT 384 9th Street is an historic two-family townhouse with gorgeous original Arts and Crafts Era detail, situated between two major transportation lines, dining, shopping, and entertainment in the heart of thriving Park Slope -- and it’s ready for your renovation! With a three bedroom duplex on the first and second floors and a four bedroom triplex on the upper floors, you can live with income or choose to renovate each apartment individually while living onsite in the other unit. Built 20’ x 45’ on a 72’ lot comprising 3,824 square feet, this visually striking house offers an alternative to uniform Brooklyn brownstone stolidity. It caps one end of a ten-building stretch of 9th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues in the center of Park Slope, which features similar variegated brick facades with carved stone detail, low front stoops, bay windows, and varying dormers and cornices. Residents benefit from the high energy of living on a primary neighborhood thoroughfare while still enjoying the quiet retreat from urban chaos that this stately home provides. Enter the first and second floor duplex through a private vestibule which opens into a grand central living room, complete with a decorative carved wood fireplace and mantel, high wood beam coffered ceilings, antique chandelier, and paned windows facing north onto 9th Street. The kitchen extends south off the dining room. Currently it features a row of custom cabinets above and below a long prep counter, and there is an enclosed half bath. A windowed kitchen sink has a dishwasher and storage below. There is a full basement, accessible from the street as well as from the kitchen. Currently it has a working washer-dryer, furnace, and water heater along with approximately 800 square feet which could be finished into a den, recreation room, or home office. A carved staircase leads to the second floor, where there are three bedrooms and a full bathroom with clawfoot tub and shower and pedestal sink with vanity. The well-proportioned primary bedroom faces north with two windows over 9th Street and a large closet. The hallway between rooms has two additional closets. A second bedroom features French doors which open onto a roof deck (atop the kitchen below). The third bedroom has its own interior closet and a window facing south, overlooking the treetops and backyard.





The Upper Triplex, aka 384A 9th Street, has a wide living room, dining room, and kitchen on the third floor with three bedrooms on the fourth floor and a very special fourth room on the top level with access to the roof. A private entrance leads up a carved staircase to the apartment entrance. A carved door opens to a central entry foyer which opens onto the living room to the north and the dining room to the south. The bright living room has large windows facing north, a decorative fireplace with mantel, and an extra cozy alcove. The dining room and adjacent separate kitchen face south and overlook the backyard. Original parquet floors and carved moldings echo the romantic period design throughout the triplex. There are built-in closets on the interior landing outside the apartment as well as inside, off the entry area.

A carved wooden staircase runs up the center of this apartment. The large primary bedroom has high ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking charming 9th Street, neighboring historic buildings, and the downtown Brooklyn skyline in the distance. The central bathroom has a clawfoot tub, shower, vanity, and toilet. The second and third bedrooms on this floor face south overlooking the treetops and backyard. The staircase continues to the roof level, where another room has its own WC with windows facing onto the rooftop. Heavy carved doors open onto the roof, which could easily accommodate the addition of an outdoor deck. The house evokes a dignified rusticity. While the bones of this venerable property are exceptional, the condition is well-lived in and even the simplest of renovations will bring the home new life.
