Why It’s So Popular
Park Slope homes rarely disappoint and this remarkably stunning loft is no exception. For starters, it’s located in the historic Ansonia Court building that transformed a former early 19th-century clock factory into co-ops. This means you get lots of dramatic flair that makes for a truly unique living experience.
Enter through the living room and you’ll immediately notice the ceilings that soar more than 11 feet high with rough-hewn beam ceilings, along with huge arched windows, and lovely exposed brick walls. The newer floors and walls infuse a contemporary touch that pairs well with the apartment’s older elements. The kitchen is open and filled with stylish touches, from its matte black range hood to its combination of wood cabinets and white appliances. There’s even some cute open shelving and custom storage nooks, including an adjacent built-in bookshelf with a gliding ladder.

Both bedrooms are outfitted with many of the same features found in the living room: high ceilings, huge windows that welcome in loads of light, and more exposed brick detailing. The smaller of the two rooms conceals a built-in Murphy bed and can function as both a home office and a guest room. There’s a laundry room with a washer/dryer, custom lighting, chrome ceiling fans, and smart home technology, including a Nest thermostat on hand as well.
Ansonia Court features an interior courtyard with a fountain and lush landscaping, a package room, and storage for bicycles or strollers. It’s also pet friendly and is a little more relaxed with its rules, permitting subletting after one year of ownership and pied-à-terre arrangements on a case-by-case basis. This historic Park Slope building is located three blocks from the F train, two blocks from Prospect Park, and one block from Union Market.
