Property Description for 135 Eastern Parkway, 2-J
STUNNINGLY RENOVATED 1,200 SQUARE FOOT HOME! From the moment you enter you immediately feel this exquisite home's warmth, grace and elegance. And at 1,200 SQUARE FEET you have room to roam! The welcoming foyer is practically a room in itself and flows easily into the large living and dining room. The delightful eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream with its gorgeous cabinetry, high-end appliances, stone counters and subway tile back splash. There's even a cheerful built-in breakfast nook that overlooks the landscaped terrace. The bedroom wing offers two extra-roomy bedrooms and two meticulously re-imagined bathrooms. Both baths are beautifully renovated and respect the Art Deco-era of the building. They’re a pretty mix of classic subway and hexagonal tile, and feature high-end period hardware and a beautiful claw foot tub.
The home's rich history is revealed in its exquisite herringbone parquet floors, original Art Deco hardware, original plaster walls and high beamed ceilings. The plaster and concrete soundproof construction ensures that the home is practically whisper quiet. Its many other features include: custom-built closets (including cedar), the ability to put in your own WASHER/DRYER (with board approval) and 9 windows. The renovations extend to inside the walls with updated electrical and all new plumbing risers and branch lines.
Built in 1926, Turner Towers remains one of NYC’s most iconic landmark buildings. It offers concrete construction (which allows for exceptional soundproofing), white glove services, an elegant marble lobby, a top-of-the-line gym, a professionally landscaped TERRACE and basement storage (upon availability). It's situated on the nation's first parkway, designed by Central Park’s Frederick Olmsted and designated a National Scenic Landmark in 1978. The neighborhood’s destination cafes and restaurants are at your fingertips including: Mayfield’s, Oxalis, Tooker Alley and the legendary Tom’s Diner. The 2/3 trains are right outside your door and it's across the street from Brooklyn’s cultural heart: The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, The Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of classic NYC history.

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.
