31 Prospect Park Southwest

Welcome home to this exceptional 1890s beaux-arts limestone home located directly across from Prospect Park in prime and trendy Windsor Terrace. Bring your contractor, and you'll be truly dazzled by all of the preserved original details in this historically significant townhouse. This is a legal two-family residence with three stories plus an English Basement and a sunny south-facing back patio/yard area (the front yard happens to be Prospect Park's Long Meadow). With more than 3000 square feet of livable space, and standing 19 x 45 built, this is a truly special house, just waiting for the right owner to call home. There is a grand dining room with original wainscoting, moldings, and an Arts and Crafts ceiling, along with south-facing bay window with transom stained glass. The front of the house boasts additional bay windows on three floors, all overlooking the treetops of Vaux and Olmsted's urban landscaping masterpiece. There is an additional front yard area with built-in flower bed, perfect for enjoying the sunshine and sense of community of this wonderful neighborhood. Currently configured as an upper duplex, parlor floor apartment, and unfinished basement, the opportunities abound. There is incredible light throughout, including an original stained glass skylight above the top floor staircase. Many rooms have salvageable parquet floors, built-ins, and a host of details available to restore this grand home to its glory. You could not ask for a better location, just one block from the 15th Street F/G subway stop, around the corner from all of the wonderful neighborhood staples such as Farrell's and newer additions such as Krupa Grocery, Brunswick Cafe, East Wind Snack Shop, The Tuscan Gun, and more. Showings are by private appointment.
