Property Description for 1608 11th Ave
Historically significant, 50 foot wide home offering a world of charm and possibility. Just seconds from Prospect Park in the heart of Windsor Terrace, this massive house with a distinctive patterned brick facade encompasses almost 4,000 square feet of internal living space. Originally a sprawling two-family home, it was converted to a three-family in 1957 and could easily be transformed back to its original layout.
Two separate interior entrances lead to alternate sides of the house- one to the first and second-floor apartments, and the other the top floor apartment. The very top is usable attic space with enormous skylight that can be accessed via a separate stair. Use as an office or yoga studio.
Well maintained and updated, the owner has upgraded the boiler, water heater, electric and windows throughout the building and each apartment has recently been refurbished with new kitchens. Architectural elements such as wainscoting, picture molding, leaded-glass entranceways, and an original icebox all harken to the building’s history.
Located on a leafy side street just a block from Prospect Park and close to shopping and transportation. Use the playground at PS 154 just up the street , walk into the Slope for an array of your favorite eateries, or stay local and head up to Krupa, Double Windsor, or Elora’s. Just moments to the subway at 15th Street.
Showing safely by-appointment. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to create a spacious dream home with rental income in prime Windsor Terrace!

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.
