Rare in its combination of spectacular location, sheer size, historic preservation, and masterful renovation, 568 1st St is a dream home. This magnificent 20.5-foot wide Renaissance Revival limestone off Prospect Park underwent a top-to-bottom designer renovation and restoration in 2021, expertly guided by Studio SFW. Nestled on Park Slope's most sought-after block, this five-story, single family townhouse spans 5,777 square feet of pure elegance.No detail was spared in this lovingly restored home. Exquisite selections were made for the lighting, paint, floor tiles, wall and window treatments, surfaces, hardware, and cabinetry. All doors were rehung, a new 200 amp electrical service was installed, a 4-zone air conditioning system was added, the roof was attended to, and all appliances were upgraded. Step into the foyer, adorned with de Gournay wallpaper and zellige tiles, to an impressive entryway with an original pier mirror and dramatic curved staircase, engraved with seashells. The parlor level features four grand spaces, including a living room, a bar/music room, formal dining, and a dream kitchen. Located in a rear, full width extension unusual in Park Slope townhouses, this grand eat-in kitchen streams in a south-facing light, hitting the wraparound blue cabinetry, oxblood Viking range, and striking Fior di Pesco marble backsplash. Subtle details, such as aged brass Waterworks hardware and a fireclay sink, in combination with generous, well-designed storage, make this a functional and beautiful retreat for any home chef.
