Property Description for 673 Vanderbilt Ave, 1-A
This charming one-bedroom corner co-op, located one flight up, is streaming with light from beautiful, oversized windows and multiple exposures. With your bedroom located on quiet Park Place, you can enjoy a restful night's sleep before waking to soft morning light filtering through the trees outside your windows. Wonderfully high original tin ceilings add to the feeling of space. Period Victorian moldings and woodwork, featured throughout, add to the old-world charm. In a world of cookie-cutter apartments, this one is a standout.
Your living room and kitchen feature simple, clean lines. Black and white finishes and a subway tile backsplash make decorating easy, and the open plan gives you plenty of options. Perhaps you'd like a large dining table that doubles as a home office? Or maybe you prefer a more relaxed feel, perched on one of your deep window seats with a morning coffee, watching the world pass by on Vanderbilt Ave?
Conveniently situated a few blocks from Grand Army Plaza, you'll find the popular farmer's market and a wealth of subway lines servicing all areas. CitiBike is right downstairs and the area is well serviced for all your living needs. Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, and Botanical Gardens are each only minutes away. Along Vanderbilt's restaurant row, you'll find neighborhood fixtures such as Olmstead for amazing dinners and Milk Bar for the perfect latte with brunch. R & D Foods will supply you with gourmet necessities while Ample Hills or Blue Marble will easily take care of your sweet tooth. You'll find this apartment delivers all you need and more. Enjoy the convenience of a common laundry room and your own large private storage room in the basement. Pets upon approval.

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.
