Property Description for 230 Underhill Ave
Built in the 1920s with a Flemish-bond brick facade, 230 Underhill Avenue sits in the heart of Prospect Heights, just a block from Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Public Library and Prospect Park just beyond. This extra deep, 55-foot long brick townhouse has an elegant loft like quality, with generous open spaces, long sight lines, high ceilings, and sunlight that streams in from three exposures on three floors. The building was meticulously renovated by its architect-owner in 2015. The owners sprawling 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom duplex sits atop a garden apartment which has 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a finished basement, and a tranquil leafy backyard. The top floor is breathtaking, with an open plan, large over-sized windows, and two large skylights. The kitchen, laundry room, and both bathrooms all have windows, a rarity in Brownstone Brooklyn. The kitchen is designed for entertaining and chefs use, with plenty of storage in walnut and white lacquered cabinets, ample Caesarstone counterspace, a Bertazonni 6-burner gas convection range, and the highest quality appliances and fixtures by Liebherr, Bosch, Kohler, and Elkay. Including the basement, 230 Underhill Avenue measures over 4,100 square feet, and theres even more room to grow here.

The best of Prospect Heightss restaurants, boutiques, and other amenities are all close-by, as are the 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains for a quick commute to Manhattan and the rest of 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.
