Property Description for 679 Vanderbilt Ave, 3-R
This immaculate, recently renovated apartment is in a beautiful, historic brick building on Vanderbilt Avenue in the heart of Prospect Heights. A lofty, spacious, light-filled living/dining area leads to an open kitchen, modern bathroom, over-sized master bedroom, and ample second bedroom, with high ceilings throughout. The clean lines, exposed brick, and hardwood floors are complemented by Lutron fixtures, a working fireplace, and a kitchen with stone countertops by Brooklyn stone company Foro, stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher and full-size washer and dryer), and US-made cabinetry. The bathroom has been outfitted with Grohe fixtures, Italian floor tile, a large soaking tub, and a modern vanity with plenty of storage. The master bedroom features two roomy closets and is bathed in light, while the second bedroom (which also has a generous closet) can function as a bedroom and/or office. The location is unbeatable: one block from the B/Q and the 2/3 (among other nearby trains), and surrounded by some of Brooklyn’s best restaurants, bars, and food shops, e.g., Olmsted, Chuko, Sofreh, Weather Up, Faun, Alta Calidad, Fausto, the Islands, Four & Twenty Blackbirds, Mermaid’s Garden, and R&D Foods. The apartment is also blocks from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, the Grand Army Plaza farmer’s market, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, as well as a variety of schools and preschools (such as Montessori Day School of Brooklyn, Berkeley Carroll School, and PS 9) and playgrounds. The unusually low maintenance fee ($785) includes heat, water, and RE taxes. The building is entirely owner-occupied and has recently been repointed and gotten a new roof and water heater. The basement has very large storage areas for each unit. Cats are welcome, dogs require approval.

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.
