About this property
Own a rare piece of Park Slope history! Welcome to the extraordinary parlor floor of the mansion at 10 Eighth Avenue, one of the grand Romanesque Revival homes built in 1891 by architect James Mumford for horse-racing magnate Philip Dwyer. Situated on the storied stretch of Eighth Avenue known as Sportsmen s Row, this remarkable residence offers the rare opportunity to live within one of Brooklyn s most distinctive historic homes. From the moment you enter this ~1,800 sf, 2.5 bedroom, 2 bath home, the scale and elegance are breathtaking. Soaring ~15-foot ceilings, dramatic doorways, and beautifully preserved architectural details set the tone. Original stained-glass panels, intricate millwork, exposed brick, and oversized CitiQuiet windows flood the home with natural light while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly balances historic grandeur with modern comfort. The kitchen is both elegant and practical, anchored by an island that provides generous counter space and storage. Wood cabinetry pairs beautifully with a soft green tile backsplash, open shelving for display, and modern stainless-steel appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a gracious dining area, centered around the original fireplace mantel and exposed brick an evocative reminder of the home s 19th-century origins. The living room is equally captivating, featuring custom built-in bookcases and a handsome coffered plaster ceiling that enhances the room s architectural drama. A few steps above, a thoughtfully designed mezzanine level provides flexible space ideal for a home office, guest room, or play area. Down the gallery hall, you ll find full-sized laundry discreetly tucked away, an updated full bath, the sun-filled primary suite, and a second bedroom. The primary bedroom is exceptionally large and serene, complete with a walk-in closet and ensuite bath featuring double sinks. This Gilded Age home is part of an intimate cooperative within one of Park Slope s most historically rich blocks. The stretch of Eighth Avenue between Flatbush Avenue and Lincoln Place became known as Sportsmen s Row in the late 19th century, when prominent athletes, including famed jockey James McLaughlin, made their homes here. Today, the block remains one of the neighborhood s architectural gems, just moments from Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park. Perfectly positioned near exceptional dining, shopping, and cultural institutions such as Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, and Barclays Center, this residence offers the best of historic Brooklyn living with effortless access to transportation and the vibrant amenities of Park Slope. Don't miss out!
