The two-family home is configured as a four-bedroom duplex over a garden-level one-bedroom.
Striking stonework in Slope
An unpretentious two-family row house asks $2.8M
By Stephen Zacks
Brownstoner
After looking at several
high-end renovations of
townhouses in historic districts,
it comes as a relief to
see one being sold without all
of the upscale bells and whistles
wringing every potential
dollar from a dwelling.
This fairly charming, low
key, old school Park Slope
two-family deal is configured
as a four-bedroom duplex
over a garden-level onebedroom
floor-through.
It’s not recently renovated
but seems to be in good condition
for a late Victorian
brownstone, and it has some
nice architectural features
like expressive stone carvings,
preserved ironwork,
drip molding and convex
bands of stone.
Inside, it’s got an ornate
fretwork screen, handsome
to the landscaped garden, according
to the floor plan.
None of the three bathrooms
(one on each floor)
are pictured, so it’s likely
they have not been recently
updated. There’s a washer/
dryer in a hall next to the
kitchen.
The location — 456 14th
St. — is on a park block at
the south end of the neighborhood
near Nitehawk in
the Park Slope Historic District.
It was built in 1893 by
George Morgan for Agnes
Morgan and designed by architect
Albert Ullrich in the
Romanesque Revival style
popular before the World’s
Fair that took place the same
year, as the designation report
notes.
Listed by Jackie Lew
and Marc Wisotsky of Halstead,
it’s asking $2.8 million.

wood mantels, neo-Classical
trim, intact moldings, wainscoting
and Queen Anne-style
staircase details, painted
white. There are also huge
windows that may be original,
with original shutters.
The somewhat dated looking
parlor-floor kitchen is still
more than serviceable, and
features vintage-style tall
wood cupboards and floral
wallpaper. Steps lead to a rear
deck with a staircase down
