Property Description for 55 Sherman Street
If you are looking for a classic townhome on a peaceful block with friendly and welcoming neighbors this home is for you. Currently configured as a one family, this legal two family house has 5,yes 5!?bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open plan parlor floor, and an English basement.
Originally built circa 1901 this classic 20 ft wide brick house retains many of its original features including oversized pocket doors, parquet flooring with mahogany borders, Federal style pediments and coffered ceiling.
The parlor floor is open from front to back, making it bright and airy with views of both the street and your private backyard. On the second floor you will find a laundry room with washer/dryer and plenty of rooms to use as is or reconfigure. Maybe carve out a master bedroom with en suite bath, or easily add a kitchen as the plumbing is still there to convert back to a two family lay out.

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.
