Property Description for 295 Saint Johns Place, 3-F
Welcome home! This meticulously designed and generously proportioned home marries old-world Brooklyn charm and modern flair, in the heart of beautiful Prospect Heights.
Fully renovated and reimagined in 2013, this ample 2BR/1.5BA on the third floor of a six story elevator building spans over 1,100 square feet and features an intuitive flow : from the smartly appointed foyer, with its cheeky chalkboard-walled half bath, to a grand open living and dining space. The great room boasts an electric fireplace and two full walls of built-ins, all bathed in light from a wide bank of windows.
Sunlight bathes the kitchen, as well — a home cook’s dream, designed for form and function. Featuring a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a range and dishwasher, extra counter space and cabinetry to the ceiling line, the kitchen offers maximum storage with a minimalist aesthetic. A washer-dryer in the hall, between the bedrooms and kitchen, completes the picture of convenience and ease.
Beyond, two large bedrooms and a fully-renovated bath offer tranquil repose and plenty of space. Throughout the home, high ceilings and multiple exposures provide an expansive flow of light and air, deep closets offer ample storage, and thoughtful touches bring a playful charm to the everyday.
295 St. John’s Place is a classic pre-war co-op, joyfully maintained by an invested community of shareholders. The elevator building has a gorgeous art-deco lobby, a super, bike storage, and a landscaped courtyard for the community’s enjoyment.
With Prospect Park, The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and the weekend Farmer’s Market for your backyard, the Brooklyn Museum and Public Library for your neighbors, and a host of delicious restaurants (Tom’s, Omstead, and Alta Calidad to name a few of the seller’s favorites!) and convenient food shopping nearby, you will want for nothing! Being just off Grand Army Plaza, transportation is a breeze, with the 2/3 and B/Q trains just blocks away and a Citibike dock around the corner.
Private showings of this special home have begun for screened buyers, in accordance with all safety protocols of New York City’s phased reopening; please reach out to schedule your appointment!

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.
