Welcome home to 782 President Street, Apt 1L: the spacious and elegantly renovated, boutique, pre-war Co-op in the heart of Park Slope you've been waiting for. At almost 1600 sqft, the apartment sprawls across two floors, with an additional 450sqft backyard, offering a flexible layout and room to come together or spread out.
Its ideal location on the first floor (just up the stoop) offers convenience for day to day living, as well as soaring parlor level ceilings and proper elevation from the sidewalks below. Once inside, a coat closet off the hall provides a place to drop your things before turning into the open living space beyond. At one end the living room offers lovely light through two oversized windows at the front, while a decorative fireplace with tasteful mosaic tiles, mantle and impressive pier mirror adds a touch of grandure. The handsome bookcases flanking either side were added in 2022 and offer smart storage below, and plenty of room to show off your books and treasures above, with TV hookups in place for convenience. Separated from the living room by the intricate fretwork of an original spandrel archway, the dining area provides ample room for a table for eight. Adjacent is the fully renovated kitchen (completed in 2019), featuring a suite of stainless steel appliances including a Wolf range and Bosch dishwasher. Floor to ceiling custom cabinets envelope the room on three sides, and ensure you have a place for everything, while a large center island offers plenty of room for prep and seating for three. From the kitchen one can also head to the backyard for al fresco dining and grilling, gardening, or just relaxing on a lazy afternoon.
Back inside and down the hall lies the rest of the home. The first bedroom features a custom loft bed (installed in 2024) complete with built-in lighting. The room also has a full wall of built-in bookcases and a well-sized closet. A bit further down is a home office currently open to the stairwell beyond, also with a well sized closet. Use as is, or close the space off from the stairs and use as a nursery. At the very back is the elegant primary bedroom, featuring delicate tin pressed wall paneling, cove ceilings with a medallion and and another decorative fireplace. The original built-in armoire has been restored for use as a proper closet, and is as charming as it is functional. There is second closet just outside of this room that could easily be formally incorporated into the space, or combine both of these with the office closet to create a walk-in closet instead. A full, windowed bath with shower tub combo and additional storage completes the floor.
Downstairs is a massive room with a full wall of built-in bookcases, currently being used as a bedroom and rec space with a window at either side. Use as one or the other or split in half for two distinct windowed spaces. Off of this room one finds another large storage closet before entering the surprisingly suburban laundry room complete with oversized washer and gas dryer! A newly renovated full bath (2023) complete with a steam shower finishes the space!
782 President is a self-managed, well maintained, six-unit limestone co-op in the heart of Park Slope. Residents enjoy dedicated storage areas, as well as additional bike storage. Stroller parking is allowed in the lobby, and a custodian handles garbage removal and light cleaning in the hallways. Recent updated include two new hot water heaters in 2023 and 2026 respectively, new gas lines in 2024 and a new stoop in X. Cats are welcome, but sorry, no dogs.
