Property Description for 595 17th Street
A Country House In WINDSOR TERRACE!
Built in the mid 1800s, this two family house has all the charm and elegance of a New England clapboard home. Currently being used as a single family, this 20 foot wide house boast 3 stories, with the ability to build a 4th story and expand in the back. Currently configured with a large open plan - the formal living area gracefully flows in the comfortable chic eat-in-kitchen. This floor-plan makes entertaining breeze all year long! As an added bonus, a full bathroom off the kitchen makes backyard fun - easy cleanup! With a backyard full of sun - berry bushes and ornamental grass are a gardener's delight, and you don't have to do anything! Just pull up your chair, pour a glass of sweet tea and relax on your back porch, a unique feature to this home. The upper floor has four bedrooms and one full bathroom. The front bedrooms can be combined to make one large master bedroom - the special view of the 100 year old Maple Tree through the front window evokes Betty Smith's timeless novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Quiet and serenity abound in this charming house. The lower level of the house can be transformed into a rental apartment or a finished basement. It is currently being used as storage, laundry and potting room. There are all new mechanicals, boiler, upgraded main electric service, hot water heater and washer/dryer.

Windsor Terrace | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
The tiny, comma-shaped neighborhood of Windsor Terrace is bookended between two of Brooklyn’s largest green spaces, Prospect Park and the massive Green-Wood cemetery. Aside from the presence of the Prospect Park Expressway, which dissects the neighborhood in two, this residential community offers a suburban sensibility with its tree-lined streets, low volume traffic and the low height character of its streetscape.
Many homes in the area are low to the ground, lending a suburban feel to the neighborhood, and the area has been down-zoned to maintain its low-rise appeal and character. There are plentiful brick row houses that have very low turnover. If you are lucky enough to buy or rent one, you tend to hold on to it. There are also small apartment buildings, private homes, condos and multi-family homes in a wide price range
There is commercial development along Prospect Park West, Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Avenue, but even these new stores and restaurants are mostly family-owned and operated, maintaining the small-town charm. The pace of life is slower. The schools are good, which is a big draw for families with young children. The people are friendly, which gives a real sense of neighborhood and community to Windsor Terrace.
