Property Description for 50 Plaza Street East, 1-C

Modern elegance and gracious pre-war proportions come together in this sprawling redesigned home located adjacent to Prospect Park. Previously configured as a three bedroom, this home is now an opulent two bedroom offering a whopping ~1,400 SF. The current owners created an expansive living space by converting the enormous third bedroom into their living room. A third bedroom could easily be created without compromising the current living area, see alternate floor plan.


A welcoming entryway with a coat closet draws you toward the impressive foyer and gracious open-plan living/dining with soaring ceilings. The completely remodeled kitchen is a show-stopper anchored by an extensive island topped with white Caesarstone and housing a GE Profile gas stove below a vented range hood. This unit is very fortunate to have a grandfathered in-unit washer and dryer. These long-lasting, full-size Speed Queen machines sit side-by-side and are fully vented. Topping off this exceptional kitchen is a Bosch dishwasher, Samsung refrigerator and microwave that doubles as a convection oven.


The sense of space is seductive with a massive living room that can be closed off by smooth-sliding pocket doors. A shelving unit in the living room is fully customizable to suit your needs. Two extra-large bedrooms radiate from the foyer and are separated by two stylishly renovated bathrooms, both with windows. The master bedroom has two large windows and an en-suite bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower stall complemented by herringbone marble tiles and a pedestal sink. The second bathroom is similarly tiled with a soaking tub.


Storage has been maximized in the recent renovation. In the kitchen, a centerpiece island has deep storage for small appliances and other items, in addition to plenty of kitchen cabinets. Each bedroom has a wall of custom closets outfitted with Container Store hardware, and the areas above the closets provide easily accessible storage for suitcases and off-season clothing. Even the bathrooms have massive custom medicine cabinets providing plenty of room for essentials. And if that’s not enough, there are two storage cages included with the sale at no extra cost.


50 Plaza is an elegant pre-war, elevator building that is pet friendly and staffed with a part-time doorman, porter and live-in superintendent. It also offers laundry facilities as well as a bike room. The location is unsurpassable with excellent transportation options as well as having Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Library, Museum and Botanic Garden on the doorstep. Located just across the street is Brooklyn’s largest green market that takes place every Saturday, year round. With plenty of restaurants nearby, why cook? Don’t miss the opportunity to grasp this incredible apartment before it’s too late.

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.
