Property Description for 135 Eastern Parkway, 12-B
Live Large in this three bedroom, two and-a-half bath Classic 7 with laundry, formal dining room and an extra-large kitchen in this pristine prewar apartment with monumental views in Prospect Heights. Turner Towers is a highly regarded prewar coop in Prospect Heights and is known for its large, gracious layouts and spectacular views. This one, 2,400 sqft. on the 12th floor, is in the rarely available B-line. Enter into a mud room which gives onto an expansive gallery currently used as the formal dining space. The original dining room, with views over Grand Army Plaza, Park Slope and NY Harbor, has been re-purposed as the family's media room/home office. The L-shaped kitchen has loads of storage and counter space and has been fashioned via the combination of the original kitchen, maid's room and pantry. The living room faces South toward the front of the building and overlooks the iconic Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Gardens. The master bedroom - with en suite bath - and second bedroom share those views. Bedroom 3 faces west and north and has both Manhattan skyline and Downtown Brooklyn views.Turner Towers offers white glove services, an elegant marble lobby, gym, playroom and basement storage (upon availability) and is situated on the nation's first parkway, designed by Central Parks Frederick Olmsted and designated a National Scenic Landmark. It's across the street from Brooklyns cultural heart: The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, The Brooklyn Museum, the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library and, of course Prospect Park. The 2/3 trains are right outside your door, the Saturday Greenmarket is down the block and you're a heartbeat away from all of the neighborhoods destination cafes and restaurants.

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.
