Property Description for 280 Park Place
This is an amazing three family Brownstone on beautiful Park Place in Prospect Heights. Step into the restored parlor and let your eyes lead you to a wonderful flow of rooms stretching for seventy-five feet. The 30' foot parlor connects to a handsome library with original details. Proceed to the dining room filled with natural light from a huge skylight in addition to windows on either side of the fireplace mantle. You then enter the newly renovated kitchen over looking a south-facing garden of 1,000 square feet. This is truly one of the most elegant and gracious spaces for entertaining you can imagine. Also, you will find a full bath discretely placed off a hallway.
The garden level of this owner's duplex has also been meticulously restored with the original details, beautiful hardwood floors, mantles and built-ins. Two large bedrooms, a home office and a completely new bath provide a tranquil environment connecting to the immense garden. The duplex is also equipped with central air conditioning.
The upper two units of the Brownstone have been given the same careful attention as the owner's apartment and consists of two newly renovated large one bedroom apartments with beautiful details and modern kitchens and baths. Natural light, again, flows throughout the units, from light on three sides and a skylight in the kitchen on the top floor.
The outstanding features of this Brownstone include all new mechanical systems, a restored facade - landmarked approved - a new roof, and good basement storage. The entire restoration has been done in a way that allows for maximum flexibility of use. The two high income units can be combined to provide additional space as a one or two family home. This is city living at its best with all the neighborhood services within walking distance; Prospect Park, the Farmer's Market at Grand Army Plaza, Barclay Center, and nearby B, Q subway stops.

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.
