Brooklyn grandeur at its finest exists in this special trophy house that is beyond compare! The magnificent single-family jewel set on a 35'x100' lot in prime Park Slope boasts a spacious 27' width and your own private driveway, perfect for parking your car. Built in 1878, this architectural gem was designed by Stachlin & Steiger in a style reminiscent of a small country villa.  

873 President Street is located on an exceptional tree-lined block, moments from Brooklyn's best attractions. Interiors are spectacular, melding rich original features with luxurious modern upgrades desired by the discerning buyer.
