About This Property
An opportunity to reimagine a Park Slope townhouse. Welcome to 278A 9th Street, a three-level home on a charming block just a few blocks from Prospect Park. This property offers the chance to collaborate with your architect and contractor to create a home tailored to your vision, from the overall floor plan to the finishes throughout.
The existing layouts include spacious areas, offering a starting point for exploring different configurations. Whether you prefer an open layout or separate living and dining areas, there’s room to create a home that suits your lifestyle.
A large backyard adds another dimension to the property, with a patio directly off the current kitchen on the first level. Reimagined alongside the interiors, these outdoor spaces could accommodate dining, gardening, and relaxing, creating a natural extension of the home.
For buyers considering an investment, the property offers the opportunity to explore its rental potential following a renovation.
The location places neighborhood restaurants, cafés, and local shops within easy reach, with Prospect Park nearby for everything from morning walks to weekend recreation. The F and G trains are approximately two blocks away, along with access to multiple bus lines, while Barclays Center is a short train or car ride away.
With three levels, generous outdoor space, and a sought-after Park Slope setting, 278A 9th Street invites a thoughtful transformation and a new chapter or opportunity.
A unit on the third floor is currently occupied, and we do not have access to that floor until mid-November.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Sothebys International Realty.
A patio sits directly off the current kitchen on the first level, so cooking and eating outside are only a few steps apart. The existing layouts include spacious areas, which gives you a real starting point. You can open the plan up or keep the living and dining areas separate, and the architect and contractor you bring in can shape the layout and finishes around you.
At 1,944 square feet with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home has room to test different arrangements before you commit to one. An open plan can make a home feel more connected, though it gives you less separation between cooking, working and relaxing. The building is a walk-up, so the stairs are something to weigh alongside the layout.
Outdoor space is a real asset here. There's private outdoor space over 60 square feet, a private yard, and a large backyard, and the building lists a garden as an amenity. In the city, a private garden is a meaningful amenity, and the backyard could take dining, gardening and relaxing as the plans take shape.
Built in 1899, this is a pre-war property with the defined rooms that many buyers value.
For everyday errands, K-Slope Market and Foodtown are each about 4 minutes on foot, and Bagel Pub is about 1 minute away. The 4 Av-9 St station for the F, G and R trains is about 2 minutes on foot, and Washington Park is about 7 minutes away. Prospect Park is nearby.
