472 10th Street

Limestone townhouse of 1899, eighteen and a third feet wide, standing on one of Park Slope's tree lined blocks. Sixty townhouses stand on that block, and the scale, the light and the privacy of this one all come from the run rather than from anything the house does on its own. The city's record carries the building at two stories and two units, built in 1899, and the house comes to market as a resale. That same record classes it a two family made over from a one family, and lists no year of alteration.

A private forecourt sets the house back off the sidewalk, so the stoop begins on the property's own ground rather than at the pavement, and climbs from there to the parlor level. That floor is built around its ceiling height and its oversized windows, and the two together are what keep the parlor bright the length of the plan. Behind the house there is a garden, and above it roof rights, so the open ground runs at both ends of the section rather than only at grade. The record puts the building at 42 feet of the lot's hundred, so the garden holds most of the depth behind it. A courtyard is shared.

Nine rooms across about 3,039 square feet, four bedrooms and two and a half baths, held as a two family. A fireplace, hardwood floors, a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer in the house, with laundry in the building as well. The F at Seventh Avenue is 0.12 miles from the door and the F, G and R at Ninth Street are 0.33 miles the other way, with the F at Fourth Avenue at 0.34 and Prospect Park 15th Street at 0.45. Park Slope carries an easygoing, almost suburban register at that distance from the park, with the boutiques and the casual restaurants a block or two either way.
