OPEN HOUSES BY APPT ONLY. Nestled on picturesque, tree-lined 8th Street, 420 is a distinguished example of late 19th-century Brooklyn residential architecture, boasting extensive preserved historic detail throughout. Designed by architect William M. Calder, this impeccably maintained home embodies the classic Neo-Grec style that defines Park Slope.
Rich in character and architectural integrity, the home offers gracious proportions, with over 4,000 square feet of living space (excluding the well-maintained cellar) spread across four floor-through apartments, all in live-in condition. Soaring ceilings and generous room layouts provide an ideal canvas for an end user seeking a single or multi-family configuration, or an investor/developer.
Sunlight pours through large windows, illuminating the home's original craftsmanship. Each floor features a wood-burning fireplace, and the integrity of the original woodwork cannot be overstated. The building is currently configured as a four-family residence but could easily be converted to a single-family home or an owner's duplex with income-generating units above.
Situated just steps from Prospect Park and the vibrant shops and restaurants of 7th Avenue--including Pasta Louise, Vato, Runner Up / Winner, Bar Toto, Ottava, and Saint Eve's--the location speaks for itself. The home is also conveniently located near the 7th Avenue F train station.
Rarely does a property of such historic significance and architectural presence come to market--especially one that has been so thoughtfully maintained over the years.
