Absolutely beautiful one family attached brick home, located steps from Prospect Park West! This three bedroom, two bath home will entice and charm you. Enter into this abode to find a darling entry foyer that leads into a large and open living and dining room. Clever custom built-ins add in an office area at the front of the home. Additional built-in's add storage in the living room and dining room. Exposed brick walls and a fireplace facade add to the charm that abounds here. The renovated eat-in-kitchen is windowed and renovated,with plentiful wood cabinetry, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. There is space for a nice large table to eat casually and enjoy your coffee while gazing at your huge and green backyard - or you can simply open the sliders and have breakfast (or any meal) outside in your own garden! A nice, full bathroom completes this level. Up the stairs you'll find three bedrooms (one interior), all spacious. The windowed English basement is finished and is perfect as a recreation room. And, as an extra bonus, there is additional FAR on the property - so you can add another floor, if you desire. Located in prime Windsor Terrace, steps from Prospect Park West, just a couple of blocks from the F/G trains, and near all.

Windsor Terrace | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
The tiny, comma-shaped neighborhood of Windsor Terrace is bookended between two of Brooklyn’s largest green spaces, Prospect Park and the massive Green-Wood cemetery. Aside from the presence of the Prospect Park Expressway, which dissects the neighborhood in two, this residential community offers a suburban sensibility with its tree-lined streets, low volume traffic and the low height character of its streetscape.
Many homes in the area are low to the ground, lending a suburban feel to the neighborhood, and the area has been down-zoned to maintain its low-rise appeal and character. There are plentiful brick row houses that have very low turnover. If you are lucky enough to buy or rent one, you tend to hold on to it. There are also small apartment buildings, private homes, condos and multi-family homes in a wide price range
There is commercial development along Prospect Park West, Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Avenue, but even these new stores and restaurants are mostly family-owned and operated, maintaining the small-town charm. The pace of life is slower. The schools are good, which is a big draw for families with young children. The people are friendly, which gives a real sense of neighborhood and community to Windsor Terrace.
