31 8th Avenue, Unit 2 is a sophisticated two-bedroom home in north Park Slope featuring two private outdoor spaces, and it is like nothing else on the market.<br> Occupying the parlor floor of a 5-unit brownstone co-op, this exciting home has 11-foot ceilings, exposed whitewashed brick, central air conditioning and its own private entrance from the stoop. The living room includes a wood-burning fireplace, stained glass windows, custom shelving by Brooklyn's own Atlas Industries and lighting by George Nelson and Atelier de Troupe. The kitchen is complete with custom ceiling-height cherry cabinets, extra-wide Carrara marble counters and high-end appliances. The bathroom boasts Hansgrohe and Montreaux fixtures, Jielde lighting, a Duravit sink, a deep soaking tub, and a vintage-design medicine cabinet by Restoration Hardware. The vast primary bedroom, accessed through a custom mirrored French door, overlooks the terrace through a set of gorgeous French doors. With three closets, one of which is a custom walk-in, and extra-deep and high cabinets above each closet, there is ample storage in this home. A fourth closet contains a stacked, vented washer-dryer. The second bedroom features two walls of windows and a skylight. The apartment also features six in-ceiling Bose and Boston Acoustics speakers in the living area, bathroom and primary bedroom. <br> Outside, the apartment offers an additional 700 square feet of private outdoor space spread out over two levels. The easily maintained, landscaped garden features hydrangeas, hostas, a blossoming cherry tree and other foliage that will continue to take root in the years to come. Additionally, the owners have installed a covered outdoor gym in the yard that will remain with the home, as well as a sweet swing. <br> This small, friendly co-op building allows generous basement storage, under-the-stoop bike storage, and the main hallway of the building may be used for stroller parking and packages - all at no additional cost. Pets allowed on approval. The prime location has the advantages of both Park Slope and Prospect Heights; it is close to 2/3 and B/Q trains, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Library, Fausto, Union Market and La Taq to name a few.
