Description

Park Slope has long been defined by its stately brownstones, leafy blocks, and homes that quietly carry generations of stories within their walls. Nestled along one of the neighborhood’s most picturesque tree-lined streets, 836 President Street is one of those rare residences that immediately feels timeless—gracious in scale, rich in character, and filled with the warmth of a home that has been deeply loved.

Configured as a two-family, with an owner’s triplex over a garden rental, this house features seven bedrooms and three bathrooms, ideally positioned on a 20.33 ft x 100 ft lot. Lovingly maintained and cherished by the same family for more than four decades, this remarkable brownstone offers the kind of authenticity and soul that is becoming increasingly rare to encounter. Throughout the home, beautiful original details remain intact, from elegant moldings and rich woodwork to soaring proportions that speak to the grandeur of the era in which it was built.

The layout unfolds beautifully for both everyday living and entertaining, with rooms that feel expansive yet inviting. One of the home’s most memorable spaces is the front-facing kitchen, where panoramic bay windows create a sunlit breakfast area overlooking the charming rhythm of President Street below. It is the sort of spot that naturally becomes the heart of the home—perfect for slow mornings with coffee, evening conversations, quiet reading, or simply watching the seasons change outside your window.

Flowing naturally from the kitchen is a proper formal dining room, gracious in scale and ideally positioned for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Rich in warmth and character, it serves as a beautiful transition between the front of the home and the south-facing living room. Anchored by an exquisite decorative fireplace and framed by elegant original details, the living room is filled with natural light and opens seamlessly onto an outdoor patio overlooking the lush south-facing garden below. Whether hosting summer dinners, tending to plantings, or enjoying a quiet afternoon sun, the outdoor experience here is layered, private, and deeply calming.

On the middle floor of the owners’ triplex, a magnificent family room offers an entirely different experience: peaceful, dramatic, and wonderfully unique. Framed by serene treetop views and an architectural banister that gives the room exceptional character, the space was even selected as a filming location for a Netflix series—a testament to just how cinematic it feels.

Set on one of the most beloved blocks in North Park Slope and zoned for the highly regarded PS 321 William Penn, this location offers the very best of brownstone Brooklyn living. Located just moments from Prospect Park and the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket, this prime address offers easy access to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, and the area's outstanding dining and shopping scene.

Commuting is effortless with nearby access to the B/Q trains at 7th Avenue and the 2/3 trains at Grand Army Plaza, connecting you quickly to the rest of the city while allowing you to return home to one of Brooklyn’s most treasured neighborhoods.

836 President Street is not simply a beautiful townhouse—it is a home with history, heart, and an unmistakable sense of permanence. The kind of place that has been treasured for generations, and one that rarely becomes available.
