Property Description for 279 Prospect Place, 4
Apartment 4 at 279 Prospect Place is a fully renovated floor-through two bedroom home with private deeded outdoor space. Facing the street with a lovely tree-lined exposure, the square living room has exposed brick, a wood-burning fireplace and separate dining area with built-in seating that functions as additional storage. The open kitchen has all new appliances, backsplash, cabinets, and ample quartz counter space overlooking the living area. The two bedrooms are located in the back of the apartment. Both are extremely quiet, with new windows just installed, and have blue sky exposures. The master bedroom has a charming decorative fireplace and can easily accommodate any size bed. The bathroom has also been renovated. Split air-conditioning units have been installed in the living room and both bedrooms, and there is a vented washer and dryer in the apartment. A flight of stairs leads to the fully outfitted outdoor space with tree-top exposures on one side and city views on the other. The full renovation of this roof deck is underway and is set to be completed within the next few weeks (already approved by DOB and Landmarks) and is fully paid for. Apartments 3 and 4 each have their own large individual deeded space on the roof, but have decided to keep the expansive 28'4" length space entirely open to enjoy together. Plumbing and lights have also been added. Please ask to see the approved architect plans for exact dimensions.
279 Prospect Place is a superbly maintained four unit self-managed coop on a tree-lined and Landmark protected block in the heart of Prospect Heights. Resident shareholders have completed several building upgrades in the past three years, including a new roof, plumbing in the basement, apartment buzzers, as well as renovating the interior stairway and installing removable railings. The exterior facade has also been cleaned and re-grouted. All apartments have deeded outdoor space and additional storage space in the basement. 279 Prospect Place is in close proximity to the B/Q and 2/3 Subways, Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park, and Brooklyn Museum. Underhill Playground sits at the end of the block, and the apartment is nearby outdoor dining on Vanderbilt and Washington. Cats and dogs permitted on a case by case basis.

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.
