Property Description for 1311 Prospect Place

Welcome to 1311 Prospect Place, the graciously restored and transformed barrel-front townhouse by award-winning multi-disciplinary design and architect firm, TODO DA. To create a living space that serves today’s realities, the designers focused on elements such as movement from room to room, how space is used, and how light enters and is distributed throughout the property. The result is the bold marriage of chic and a homey charisma, a la 1920’s French apartment style, in the setting of an extraordinarily large structural footprint. This is versatility in an exquisitely inhabitable home.

More than 3,400 SF of living space incorporates two upper floors graced with refinished old growth pine, constituting the owner’s unit, and an English basement. The garden level studio apartment with its screed white floors, has a front entrance and backyard access, and stretches the entire 58 foot length of the house.

The parlor floor welcomes you with a light-filled foyer crowned with embellished wood cornices, a hint of the original details that continue throughout the home. The living room is accentuated by oversized bay windows and century-old mirrored mantel. The side windows in the formal dining room further illuminates the space, and leads to an eat-in kitchen where storage reigns supreme. The refrigerator is discreetly integrated into the wall, while built-in pantries and cabinetry take care of all your kitchen storage needs. The large island adds additional prep and dining space while preserving an area for a separate dining table. A glass door leads to a back deck overlooking 1300 SF of yard space. This floor also boasts a powder room, laundry room, storage room and bike room.

The upper floor extends your living options with five large rooms, interchangeable as bedrooms, office space or children’s play area. Operable skylights in the hallway, each bathroom and the two center bedrooms ensures there are no dark spaces. Brightly lit with large bay windows, the primary bedroom features beamed ceilings, an en suite bathroom with a double vanity and spa shower, and two walk-in closets. A second bathroom with a bathtub sits across the hall from two bedrooms, one with a double closet and the other with a built-in wardrobe.

This house’s generous configuration is amplified by its extraordinary length. Natural light throughout enables you to witness the sun’s daily migration, maintaining a constant indoor-outdoor connection. So many aspects elevate this home above a typical rowhouse. This property has every feature that is desired in today’s home to live, work and play. Come see for yourself...

Open House by appointment ONLY.

Crown Heights | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Originally known as Crown Hill by the Lenape Indians that lived there, Crown Heights has evolved into a diverse neighborhood, occupied primarily by Hasidic Jews and one of the largest Caribbean populations to be found anywhere outside of the West Indies. 

Head over to Nostrand Avenue, one of the main West Indian commercial areas in the neighborhood, which is lined with stores that have been in those exact same places for generations, providing their goods and services to area residents. Kingston Avenue has similar commercial activities that support the Jewish community, and Franklin Avenue shows the most signs of change and gentrification, with an ever-expanding mix of yoga studios, coffee shops, and organic grocery stores that serve the influx of young professionals. No matter which of these areas you visit, you will find an interesting mix of businesses that you wouldn’t normally picture as existing side-by-side. It is all part of the cultural diversity of Crown Heights.

The neighborhood is bisected, from east to west, by Eastern Parkway, which is a beautiful, 3-mile-long boulevard lined with mature trees. This leafy oasis was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famed designer of Central Park, the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, and the U. S. Capitol in Washington, D. C.

You will find a mix of low-rise apartment buildings, large middle-class elevator buildings, brownstones, and some luxury buildings. Century-old architecture stands next to modern residential developments in a visually interesting mix of styles, much as the diversity of the residents exists. People who would not normally meet and mix are forging new pathways to cultural understanding by working, living, and playing together in the same neighborhood.
