Property Description for 870 Pacific Street, 4-R

Come make your home in Prospect Heights....a place where a sense of community still exists and where congregating with your neighbors at the local schools, playgrounds and dog runs is commonplace. That, coupled with some of the borough's cultural crown jewels, like the Brooklyn Museum and the Botanic Gardens and a never ending stream of new restaurants, bars and boutiques, make it one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods.

This is where you'll find 870 Pacific, 4R, a unique and modern duplex with a show stopping roof deck.

Upon entering this sun drenched 2 bedroom, 2 bath condominium, you immediately feel a sense of serenity and calm, created perhaps by the gracious, open flow and the elegant living space. There are several south and west facing windows. Through them you can take in the view of the sun as it cast shadows off the yellow brick and copper accented facade of beautiful St. Joseph’s Cathedral and of the deep backyards that surround you.

In the kitchen you'll find Frigidaire and Bosch appliances, black granite countertops and sleek white lacquer cabinetry.

The bright and airy living area measures 12.5' x 26' and is a great entertainment space. It opens onto the south facing private terrace. This is the perfect place to have your morning coffee or a sunset cocktail.

This floor also houses the master bedroom, a full bath and a custom built laundry closet with vented LG stackable units.

Upstairs you'll find the second bedroom currently configured as a Moroccan inspired den. The light streaming in from the south, west and east and the charming slope of the roof make for a unique and beautiful room.

With a full sized, skylit, ensuite bathroom this room easily doubles as a private guest suite.

The 550 square foot private roof deck is both an urban garden and a place of respite and relaxation where you can truly entertain in style. It is finished with a ipe wood deck covering 75% of the space and a faux grass area covering the rest.

Equipped with Rainbird drip feeds and abundant light, the current owners harvest bushels of tomatoes, kale, arugula and fresh herbs every year.

The floors are white oak and were recently refinished with Bona white stain and Bona Naturale finish. Each room is heated and cooled by individual PTAC units. The apartment comes with a private storage room.

The building is professionally managed, has a locked bike room for the residents and allows pets. There is a tax abatement in place through 2027 allowing for low monthly fees.

The A and C trains are only 2 blocks away and the B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5 subway lines all serve the nearby Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center station. The Long Island Rail Road stops at the Atlantic Terminal.

The neighborhood has one of the city’s greatest concentrations of new restaurants yet still retains its old world charm, where the new and the old blend seamlessly.

While there are too many to count - some newcomers worth mentioning are FAUN, El Atoradero and its sister bar Madre Mezcaleria, Alta Calidad and Olmstead, a Michelin guide restaurant, or skip the long waits and have a Seamless sunset picnic on your private rooftop lawn.

These exist alongside old time favorites like Chuko (Brooklyn’s best Ramen) which is dangerously closeby, Weather Up where you can get a perfectly mixed cocktail and Unameable Books where you can still trade paperbacks.

This sophisticated 2 bedroom apartment is spacious and bright with incredible outdoor space. That, along with its low monthly fees and ideal location, make it the perfect place to call home.

Prospect Heights | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Prospect Heights is a small residential neighborhood surrounded by big attractions. It’s rich in culture and offers the perfect blend of old Brooklyn charm and modern-day hipness. 

Residents of this tight-knit community include young professionals, families and long-time residents. It’s a walkers paradise - just steps from Prospect Park and a short walking distance to neighborhoods like Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Green and Clinton. You’re close to culture too. Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Library, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Barclays Center are all nearby.

Prospect Heights is bordered by Flatbush Avenue to the west, Washington Avenue to the east, Atlantic Avenue and Dean Street to the north and Eastern Parkway to the south.

Prospect Heights, like many areas of New York City, was first inhabited by indigenous tribes and eventually settled by the Dutch and turned into farmland. 

A significant part of the Revolutionary War was fought in Prospect Heights and the surrounding areas. Known as the Battle of Brooklyn, it was the first military engagement following the Declaration of Independence. Things didn’t go so well for American forces so they retreated and the British occupied Manhattan for several years after the Battle of Brooklyn.

In 1867, the opening of Prospect Park caused major housing growth in Prospect Heights. The middle-class neighborhood was soon populated by Jewish, Italian, and Irish workers. Many of which were shop-owners or employed as laborers in nearby factories.

Housing in Prospect Heights includes single-family row houses, historic townhouses, co-ops, and new luxury condos. The median listed price for a 1-bedroom in Prospect Heights is $680,000 with an average price per square foot is $944.

The neighborhood's commercial artery runs along Vanderbilt Avenue and Washington Avenue. The variety of businesses adds to the charm of the neighborhood. They include bars, pubs, restaurants and mom-and-pop stores of all types. The shops and eateries are a perfect alternative to the big-name attractions that bracket the neighborhood. It's a little bit of everything in this neighborhood. 

Subways are plentiful in Prospect Heights. Its proximity to Manhattan is another perk of the neighborhood. It's about a half-hour train ride. The B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5 subway lines all serve the Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center station. 2, 3, 4, B and Q trains cover the neighborhood and the A and C trains are nearby too.
