Property Description for 225 Park Place, 2-F
SPACE, STYLE & LOCATION! This luxuriously oversized 1,002 sq ft one-bedroom is so spacious, the current owners have been using it as a 2-bedroom + home office! An extremely flexible floor plan allows for endless options. Its easily convertible to a proper 2-bedroom without compromising any of its elegance and charm (see alternative floor plan). Arched entry ways, high ceilings, herringbone parquet floors, and original built-ins speaks to its prewar pedigree, and windows facing south, north and east provide refreshing cross breezes and lovely light. The windowed kitchen is beautifully updated with a sparkly glass backsplash, stone counters and high-end appliances. The bathroom has been freshly renovated and features classic subway tile, a restored cast iron tub and a dual vanity. Storage will never be an issue with four large closets and storage cages in the basement (upon availability). Voted as one of New York City's 50 BEST BLOCKS by Time Out New York, this gorgeous, leafy street couldn't be prettier, nor could the location be more ideal. Situated in the heart of the historic district, the B/Q, 2/3 trains are practically right outside your door (only 3 stops into Manhattan!). You're steps away from all of the neighborhood's destination shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. A short walk takes you to Prospect Park, Grand Army Plaza, the Farmer's Market and Brooklyn's cultural heart: the Brooklyn Museum, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Library. This doorman, elevator building is pet-friendly and includes a live-in super, basement storage, bike storage, laundry, and a common courtyard complete with seating and grills. Priced at $847 a square foot, this lovely home represents one of the best deals on the market! This combination of space, quality, location and value is rarely available 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.
