Welcome to a Beautifully Considered Life in Park Slope. Residence 2 at 561 Fifth Street is a sun-filled, full-floor condominium occupying the parlor level of a classic 20-foot-wide Italianate brownstone, just half a block from Prospect Park West and all the pleasure of living beside one of Brooklyn's most treasured green spaces.

And then there are the birds singing in the nearby trees — one of those simple joys that make living here feel so special. Step through the grand brownstone entrance, with no additional stairs to climb, and into a floor-through home filled with character. Nearly 10-foot ceilings — the tallest in the building — beautiful parquet floors, crown moldings, thoughtful architectural details, and a genuine wood-burning fireplace give this residence its unmistakable Brooklyn charm. Deep window seats invite you to settle in with your morning coffee and watch the world go by. The gracious, open living and dining areas flow naturally into one another, creating a welcoming setting for both daily living and entertaining. A separate, well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops complements the home's comfortable and practical layout. Two peaceful and generously spacious bedrooms offer both privacy and flexibility. More than 25 linear feet of closet space throughout the residence, including twin closets in the second bedroom and a fully shelved bathroom linen closet, provide extensive storage. Extra-wide hallways offer room for a convenient home office nook, while in-unit laundry and individual split-system units in the living room and each bedroom add easy comfort.

Beyond it, the historic Picnic House and sweeping Long Meadow provide a beautiful setting for morning walks, gatherings with friends and family, recreation, or simply spending an afternoon beneath the trees.
