Property Description for 618 Dean Street, 1-B

The sellers of 618 Dean St, Apt 1B, have lovingly transformed this space into a light-filled, gracious entertainer's home. A legal 1-bedroom, they knocked out the parlor floor bedroom to create a great room, expand the fully renovated kitchen with a moveable marble island, and fill the whole floor with light from five massive, southern-facing windows, plus a glass door to their 350sqft private deck. This floor also features a full bathroom and laundry room. The 2 bedrooms have been moved downstairs, where an opening from above allows light to stream down through their windows. The stylish master has a large walk-in closet. On this floor you can also find a second full bathroom, an open den/playroom, and enough space by the staircase for storage, or even an efficient home gym, as the current owners have done. This gorgeous home is nearly 2000 SF with its own private 350 SF beautifully appointed deck, fully equipped with built-in tables and grills. A perfect place for a summer BBQ, a morning coffee on a warm day or a simple weeknight dinner under the stars. 618 Dean St, #1B is light-filled, stylish and has every modern amenity including AC, a separate laundry room and private storage. It is located in a professionally managed, elevator, pet friendly building within the the heart of vibrant Prospect Heights. On the same block you will find one of Brooklyn's favorite pie shops, Four & Twenty Blackbirds, and on the corner one of its newest cafes, Ciao Gloria. Nearby are some esteemed Vanderbilt Ave restaurants like Alta Calidad and LaLou. The neighborhood brings together an established community feel with modern conveniences, award-winning restaurants, easy access to Prospect Park and The Brooklyn Museum, and express trains to Manhattan.

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.
