Property Description for 431 Prospect Place

Great opportunity to own a beautiful 2 family 17 x 45 ft Townhouse built in 1901 in vibrant Prospect Heights. Bright and airy 3 bedroom duplex apartment upstairs with a 1 bedroom garden apartment at ground level. The house was thoughtfully renovated by the current owners in 2005 to modernize the kitchen and bathrooms, and install new windows while maintaining the beautiful pre-war detail such as plank pine floors, pocket doors and oak wainscoting throughout. Enter the parlour floor and go through the 8 foot high wooden doors into your living room with 11 foot ceilings, wood burning fireplace and a bank of south facing windows. Walk through the wooden pocket doors to the formal dining room with oak wainscoting and stairway leading to the bedrooms. Through another set of pocket doors is a renovated kitchen with wooden cabinets, granite counter tops and breakfast bar. There is a large wooden deck outside the kitchen with a stairway leading to a planted garden and patio. On the third floor there are 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, one with a skylight. A private entrance leads to the one bedroom garden apartment with a wood burning fireplace in the living room and access to a washer/dryer off the kitchen. This apartment can be delivered vacant or with a model tenant in place who pays market rent.There are so many possibilities with this move-in ready townhouse: keep it as a two family house with rental or turn it into a one family home. There are air rights which allow you to expand and add up to 2000 square feet of living space. The building has been completely rewired, and has a new gas boiler.The location is ideal with all of the wonderful restaurants and stores that Prospect Heights has to offer. Close to the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Prospect Park and the Grand Army Plaza farmers market. Near 2, 3, Q, and B trains and not far from Barclay's Center.

Crown Heights | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Originally known as Crown Hill by the Lenape Indians that lived there, Crown Heights has evolved into a diverse neighborhood, occupied primarily by Hasidic Jews and one of the largest Caribbean populations to be found anywhere outside of the West Indies. 

Head over to Nostrand Avenue, one of the main West Indian commercial areas in the neighborhood, which is lined with stores that have been in those exact same places for generations, providing their goods and services to area residents. Kingston Avenue has similar commercial activities that support the Jewish community, and Franklin Avenue shows the most signs of change and gentrification, with an ever-expanding mix of yoga studios, coffee shops, and organic grocery stores that serve the influx of young professionals. No matter which of these areas you visit, you will find an interesting mix of businesses that you wouldn’t normally picture as existing side-by-side. It is all part of the cultural diversity of Crown Heights.

The neighborhood is bisected, from east to west, by Eastern Parkway, which is a beautiful, 3-mile-long boulevard lined with mature trees. This leafy oasis was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famed designer of Central Park, the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, and the U. S. Capitol in Washington, D. C.

You will find a mix of low-rise apartment buildings, large middle-class elevator buildings, brownstones, and some luxury buildings. Century-old architecture stands next to modern residential developments in a visually interesting mix of styles, much as the diversity of the residents exists. People who would not normally meet and mix are forging new pathways to cultural understanding by working, living, and playing together in the same neighborhood.
