Apartment 1A

The Second Street is a Victorian brownstone at 621 2nd St in Park Slope, built in 1903 and divided into just three homes. It is a three-story walk-up with a stoop out front and a shared backyard garden out back. A live-in superintendent takes care of the building, and residents have a laundry room, a bike storage room, smart package lockers and a virtual doorman intercom. Cats and dogs are welcome. With only three apartments, each one is substantial. Two are two-bedroom duplexes of roughly 970 and 995 square feet, each with private outdoor space; the one on the first floor is the building's garden duplex. Between them sits a single-level three-bedroom of 1,115 square feet. All three have one and a half baths and an in-unit washer and dryer, and all keep the brownstone's original hardwood floors, exposed brick, tall windows and subway-tile baths. Second Street is one of the brownstone-lined blocks between the Fifth and Seventh Avenue shopping strips, with Prospect Park at the top of the hill and the Park Slope Food Coop nearby. Barnes & Noble is a 2-minute walk, Hanco's is 8 minutes, and Key Food Urban Marketplace is 8 minutes for groceries. For the subway, the F/G and B/Q stop at 7 Av, a 6-minute walk, with the R at Union St and the 2/3 at Grand Army Plaza also close.
