Discover the rare elegance of 579 5th Street, a stunning 20’ wide Tudor-style townhouse on a 100’ deep lot, nestled in the coveted Park Slope Historic District. Built in 1903 as part of a distinguished row of 12 townhomes by Lane and Yeandle, this property evolved from a stately single-family home into a two-family residence with a doctor’s office in 1946, and finally into a legal three-family home in 1972—all while preserving its historic grandeur and adapting to modern needs.

The top two floors feature a bright two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, complete with a stunning roof terrace offering panoramic views of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Skylights bathe the space in natural light, enhancing its warmth and openness.
