670 President St

A compact, prewar cooperative on a quiet Park Slope residential block, this five-story walk-up was completed in 1920 and contains thirteen one-bedroom units. The architecture and interiors reflect classic early-20th-century Brooklyn character: high, coved or 10-foot ceilings, arched doorways, picture rails, original parquet floors with inlaid borders, and periodic exposed brick. Units are generally one-bedroom layouts with windowed eat-in kitchens, original or renovated tiled bathrooms, generous closets, and built-in bookcases or shelving in some residences. Common areas are modest and well-maintained: a self-managed co-op board, a shared landscaped courtyard/garden with seating and barbecue, a communal laundry room, dedicated basement storage for each unit, and bicycle storage. Building systems have been updated incrementally (new intercom, roof, boiler and water heater noted in listings), and the co-op is described as financially healthy with relatively low maintenance charges. Pet ownership is permitted with board approval. Located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and President Street, the property sits within walking distance of Prospect Park, greenmarkets, museums, shops and multiple subway lines, supporting an urban-but-residential neighborhood lifestyle.
