140 8Th Ave

A six-story prewar cooperative in Park Slope built in 1936 and executed in an Art Deco idiom, this full-service elevator building is organized around two landscaped courtyard gardens. Exterior details include period brickwork and steel-frame casement windows; the attended lobby showcases original deco motifs and arched entryways. Typical units are studios and multi-room apartments that retain high ceilings, parquet hardwood floors, decorative moldings, arched doorways and other prewar millwork. Many homes feature windowed kitchens, pantry or eat-in areas, generous foyer space with built-in storage, and windowed bathrooms that preserve Art Deco tile and fixtures. Common areas are extensive for a mid-rise: 24-hour doorman, porter service, live-in superintendent, renovated elevators, and a large, card-operated laundry room in the basement. Resident amenities include two private landscaped courtyards, a children’s playroom/party room, bike room, additional storage lockers (waiting list applies) and a mail/package area. Building maintenance typically covers heat, hot water and electricity. The property is pet-friendly and positioned one block from Prospect Park with easy access to 2/3 and B/Q subway lines and Park Slope’s retail corridor on 7th Avenue.
