Description

Ideally located on a picturesque, tree-lined street in a stately five-story brownstone, this rare 4+ bedroom, 2 bath triplex is a masterful reimagining of two combined units. The result is an expansive home where architectural daring meets modern comfort, transforming a once traditional, compartmentalized layout into a luminous celebration of space and light. A gracious entry foyer leads you into the building and up to the first level of the apartment, where an airy, open-plan living area awaits. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by three oversized windows overlooking the street, the space flows seamlessly into a dining area generous enough for a table of six or more. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is equally suited for family life and entertaining, with abundant cabinet storage, granite countertops, a large island with integrated sink, and a suite of stainless steel appliances. This floor also includes a spacious bedroom and full bath. The home’s dramatic architectural centerpiece is its striking open staircase—a sculptural fusion of exposed steel I-beams, interconnecting tension rods, and floating wooden treads. A feat of engineering and design, it maintains visual transparency between floors, allowing natural light to cascade through the entire vertical volume of the apartment. The second-floor landing showcases exposed wooden joists from the original brownstone structure, a striking architectural detail illuminated by a ceiling of glass panels. From here, you enter the serene primary suite, with beautiful custom built ins and a graceful bay of windows that flood the room with soft natural light. A spacious walk-in closet provides both practicality and clean design. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a skylit sleeping space/den complete this thoughtfully designed level. Crowning the home is a spectacular glass-enclosed sunroom, perched atop the building and opening onto a private roof deck with multiple seating areas and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline—a true urban sanctuary. Additional features include an in-unit washer/dryer and two dedicated basement storage units. Situated in the heart of North Park Slope, 295 6th Avenue offers unparalleled access to neighborhood favorites—restaurants, cafés, and shops—along with cultural and natural landmarks including Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Grand Army Plaza farmer’s market. Nearby 2/3/B/Q/F/G trains provide excellent connectivity. Pet-friendly and zoned for PS 321, this home is a rare opportunity to claim a piece of iconic Brooklyn history, boldly reinterpreted for contemporary living. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
