About This Home
Distinguished Prospect Heights Townhouse - Historic Elegance with Income-Producing Garden Rental
Built in 1883, this distinctive Neo-Grec townhouse exemplifies the fine craftsmanship of its era, offering a rare blend of historic authenticity and modern living. The property features a grand triplex residence positioned above a fully renovated garden-level apartment and an oversized, fully landscaped garden.
Original architectural details have been meticulously preserved throughout: black walnut pocket doors and staircase, decorative plasterwork, and six original slate fireplaces. The parlor level offers formal living as well as a kitchen that blends seamlessly with the historic architecture. A door from the dining area opens to the spacious deck and a private, park-like garden.
The upper floors feature four gracious bedrooms, a private dressing area, two full bathrooms with windows looking over the garden, a dedicated office and ample closets.
The garden apartment, with a private entrance and direct access to the backyard, offers turnkey functionality. It includes a bedroom and spacious living room with original fireplace and wainscoting, with separate galley kitchen and a washer/dryer.
The house also benefits from solar panels and a wireless irrigation system for the backyard.
Situated on a tree lined block between Vanderbilt and Carlton Avenues in the heart of Prospect Heights, this townhouse places you within easy reach of Brooklyn's best cultural landmarks, including BAM, the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanic Garden, and Prospect Park. Stroll to Grand Army Plaza's Farmer's Market, explore local boutiques and dining along Vanderbilt Avenue, or enjoy the nearby Barclays Center. With easy access to multiple subway lines and the LIRR, this property is truly your Brooklyn dream come true.
Enduring elegance. A legacy property for discerning buyers..
