Property Description for 231 Prospect Ave
A investors dream in prime South Slope: a brick, sunlit, legal three-family home, loaded with prewar details and a massive backyard, located just 5 blocks from Prospect Park and just one block from the NYC subway.
Featuring sun-drenched southwestern exposure throughout, this house promises unlimited potential, whether via a comprehensive renovation into a charming one or two-family home, a valuable three-family rental property, or even a new development site with a sought-after location. Situated on a spacious 20 x 131 lot, the building's current square footage of 2613 (including the basement) can legally be expanded to a whopping 5266 SF, providing endless possibilities.
An investor's keen eye and thoughtful hand will unearth many prewar treasures: beneath its current flooring are the homes original hardwood floors, and its interior crown molding and ornate exterior cornice adds graceful detail. Currently configured as a two-family, with 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, the house retains gas and plumbing connections for a third unit if desired. A new hot water heater and a recent gut-renovation of 1.5 of the bathrooms offers contemporary convenience and reliability.
Step outside and enjoy beautiful Prospect Park, and stroll the stylish shops, bars and cafes of nearby Seventh Avenue. Commuting to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn is a breeze via the R train at Prospect Avenue or the F and G lines at Fourth Avenue. Families enjoy the benefit of just a five-minute walk from its zoned primary school, the high-performing and community-focused P.S. 295.
Dont miss this high-potential prewar property in an unbeatable Brooklyn location.

Park Slope | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Boasting beautiful tree-lined streets, brownstones and a range of activities for all age groups, Park Slope is consistently ranked as one of New York’s most desirable neighborhoods. Filled with lush parks and greenery, the neighborhood is also known for its rare combination of excellent public schools, award-winning restaurants, nightlife, small independently owned businesses and community gardens.
Situated at the western slope of Prospect Park, the neighborhood is divided into different sections: North Slope, Center Slope and South Slope. Depending on who you ask, of course, the definitions of where these borders end and begin may vary (is the divide between North and Center deemed Union Street, Garfield Place, 1st Street or 3rd Street? The one between Center and South 6th Street, 9th Street, 11th Street or 15th Street?).
Regardless of what part of the Slope you find yourself on, there’s no shortage of architectural beauty. From row houses to brownstones to mansions, the idyllic setting of the neighborhood is further enhanced by its Romanesque and Renaissance Revival styles. Case in point of this is also two of the area’s most well-known churches, Park Slope United Methodist Church and Saint Augustine Roman Catholic Church.
Revered for its family-friendly appeal, Park Slope is often regarded as one of the best places to raise a family in New York City. That said, it doesn’t mean that parents don’t know how to have a good time... a slew of bars constantly opening in the neighborhood ranging from the high-end cocktail saloon to the dive (well, by Park Slope standards, anyway).
