VIRTUAL TOUR: tinyurl.com/y8kpfd5a

Merging modern appeal with quintessential brownstone charm, this exquisite turn-key home was gut renovated by the architect owners in 2008. The spacious, light-filled dwelling boasts 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an open-plan parlor floor layout and a beautiful fenced-in backyard for soaking up the summer sun, staying fit or keeping the kids entertained.

The stylish, elegant parlor-level entry leads into a grand living room and dining area outfitted with a lovely decorative fireplace, plenty of custom storage and unimpeded sightlines all the way to the rear glass wall. Whip up favorite family recipes or step up your bread-baking game in the adjacent chef's kitchen with center island, ample storage and a built-in banquette. The kitchen opens to an outdoor deck where you can dine alfresco or access the yard below. A half bath/powder room completes this floor.

At the front of the second floor sits an enormous master bedroom, running the entire width of the house, with en suite bathroom equipped with a soaking tub, a separate shower, a custom vanity and large walk-in closet. To the rear is a generously proportioned room suited for a play area, bedroom or art & crafts studio. Relish in the convenience of a neighboring laundry room with full-size washer-dryer and sink. The third floor features three additional spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en suite, complete with custom drawer storage for bath toys and a handy bench for making bath time a breeze.

High ceilings and plentiful windows invite an abundance of natural light while complementing the architecturally impressive details and carefully selected fixtures throughout. Light-colored hardwood flooring seamlessly flows to the bright curved stairwell with custom handrail. Replaced during the course of the renovation, the top-of-the-line mechanical systems offer three zones of central air conditioning and radiant heated floors to keep you comfortable year-round.

Walk to Prospect Park or boutique shops and restaurants of 5th Avenue from this Center Slope stunner. Zoned for well-regarded District 15 schools, and close to the F and R trains at 9th Street, as well as, JJ Byrne Playground, Park Slope Food Coop and Barclays Center.
