Property Description for 179 Seeley Street

For less than the price of a two bedroom apartment you can own an entire home with three-bedrooms plus a home office and studio space, with a charming garden AND a front porch, one block from Prospect Park and seemingly miles away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, but with every convenience at your doorstep. 179 Seeley Street is the perfect single family brick townhouse located on one of the most beautiful blocks in Windsor Terrace. Easy street parking is available, and the F/G trains are just a few short blocks away. Thoughtfully restored and maintaining much of its original charm with modern upgrades AND room to put your own design stamp, 179 Seeley Street is a sunny two-story home with a third floor that is a semi-finished windowed English basement. Two private outdoor spaces include a secluded back garden for family time and a more friendly front porch and garden perfect for morning coffee, evening cocktails and social distancing with friends and neighbors. This home is the true definition of curb-appeal with its distinctive brick facade, deep front garden and cozy front porch, all situated on a wonderfully treelined and friendly block. Walk through the front door to find a generously-sized double parlor that includes a large separate living room and dining room , and at the back, a windowed kitchen with a garden view. Change the window out to a door and you will have super easy garden access with minimal work. There is already easy garden access from the English basement of this charmer. The top floor offers three sizable bedrooms and a recently renovated full bath with a sky-light that provides natural light all day long. Throughout the house you will be charmed by handsome inlaid wood floors, great ceiling heights and new windows throughout. The English basement makes the perfect home office or guest room and includes a powder room that could easily be expanded into a full bathroom for a lower level guest suite with separate street access. A large storage room on this level is perfect for bikes and supplies when you need to find a place for everything. DonÂ’t miss the laundry room on this floor as well. Located in the heart of Windsor Terrace just one block to Prospect Park, easy access to Greenwood Cemetery, F/G subways, shopping, the Windsor Farms Market grocery store, amazing dining including Piccoli To-Go, Elk Cafe, Della Restaurant, Le Paddock and Butterfunk Kitchen, to name just a few. District 15 for schools as well.

Windsor Terrace | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

The tiny, comma-shaped neighborhood of Windsor Terrace is bookended between two of Brooklyn’s largest green spaces, Prospect Park and the massive Green-Wood cemetery. Aside from the presence of the Prospect Park Expressway, which dissects the neighborhood in two, this residential community offers a suburban sensibility with its tree-lined streets, low volume traffic and the low height character of its streetscape.  

Many homes in the area are low to the ground, lending a suburban feel to the neighborhood, and the area has been down-zoned to maintain its low-rise appeal and character. There are plentiful brick row houses that have very low turnover. If you are lucky enough to buy or rent one, you tend to hold on to it. There are also small apartment buildings, private homes, condos and multi-family homes in a wide price range

There is commercial development along Prospect Park West, Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Avenue, but even these new stores and restaurants are mostly family-owned and operated, maintaining the small-town charm. The pace of life is slower. The schools are good, which is a big draw for families with young children. The people are friendly, which gives a real sense of neighborhood and community to Windsor Terrace.
