219 St Johns Place #2, Brooklyn, NY 11217

Behind a handsome prewar limestone facade in North Park Slope, this boutique condo pairs a gut-renovated interior with a historic facade and prime location. Climb one flight up and step into an open living, dining and kitchen space made for modern entertaining.

The bright and sun drenched room is framed by a sunny bay, where three architecturally striking windows are encased in rich wood. The kitchen is a chef's dream: custom walnut millwork, Caesarstone counters, a four-burner Miele range with vented hood, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a whisper-quiet Bosch dishwasher.

Complete with high ceilings offering abundant cabinet storage. Both bedrooms are generously sized. The ensuite spa bath and the second full bath share radiant heated floors, Restoration Hardware and Kohler fixtures, and snowy Ann Sacks tile. Comforts throughout include 4-inch-wide solid walnut plank floors, central air, gas heat, a full-size vented washer and dryer, soundproofing beneath every floor, noise-reducing windows and a video intercom.

Complete with especially low common charges. St. Johns Place sits in the part of Park Slope that took shape after Prospect Park opened in 1867, when Olmsted and Vaux also designed Grand Army Plaza as the park's grand entrance. Row houses followed, and the Park Slope Historic District was designated in 1973.

Just down the street, St. John's Episcopal Church, founded in 1826 and one of Brooklyn's oldest parishes, celebrated its 200th anniversary this year. Today you're moments from Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park and the Saturday farmer's market, with the 2, 3, B and Q trains all close by. Seventh Avenue's shops, restaurants and cafes are a short stroll away, all from a quiet, tree-lined street.
