Property Description for 125 Eastern Parkway, 5-A
SPRAWLING 1,690 SQ FT PREWAR STUNNER WITH BREATHTAKING VIEWS! CALL FOR A PRIVATE APPOINTMENT. This wonderful home is big, grand and glamorous and has exquisite light and views. This former Classic 6 is currently being used as a 2 bedroom, but could easily be converted to a still generously-sized 3 bedroom (see both floor plans). There's a cheerful eat-in kitchen, an elegant dining room, and an expansive living room. There are also two full baths, which couldn't be prettier. The graceful flow, cross breezes, stunning southern exposure, luxuriously large rooms and 9+ foot ceilings allow it to feel peaceful, light and airy. All of its charming prewar details remain intact including plaster walls, herringbone parquet, cast iron tubs, original hardware and arched entry ways. You have your own washer, dryer, 6 amazing closets, private storage and bike storage. But perhaps the best features of all are the picture-perfect light and views. Youre overlooking the lush Botanical Garden and the Brooklyn Museum with its ornate Beaux-Arts faade, dancing fountains and lovely cherry trees. Enjoy all day sunshine and magnificent sunsets every day of the year! Youre located at The Theodore Roosevelt, a beautiful prewar coop that features an elegant marble lobby, an elevator and a live in super. It's situated on the nation's first parkway, designed by Vaux & Olmsted, and fashioned after the Champs-Elysees. It's across the street from Brooklyns cultural heart: The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, The Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park. The 2/3 trains are right outside your door and you're steps away from all of the neighborhoods amazing cafes and restaurants. This combination of space, quality and amenities is rarely found and should not be missed!

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.
