Property Description for 457 Prospect Place, 1-B

On one of the loveliest, wide, tree-lined blocks, at the crossroads of Prospect Heights and Crown Heights, this spacious two-bedroom, two-bath condo features a LARGE PRIVATE GARDEN shaded by old-growth trees and framed by beds of colorful flowers and perennials. In a wonderfully maintained 8-unit boutique condo, unit 1B is perched above the entry courtyard and gets plenty of afternoon light through south-facing bay windows. The open kitchen has white cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances and abundant work and storage space. With ample room for a separate dining area, the living room's exposed brick adds charm to the inviting space. Just off the living area, the main, windowed bath is bright and modern with blue penny-tile and a roomy walk-in shower. Down the hall you'll find the stacked washer/dryer and additional closet space. Perfectly separated from the living area, both bedrooms are well-proportioned, quiet and serene. The exposed brick carries from the living area to each bedroom. The primary bedroom has an efficient closet system, a built-in home office area, and a sizable en-suite bath complete with a large marble vanity with storage below, a deep tub with glass subway tile, and open shelving. Throughout the apartment you'll find high ceilings, hardwood floors and CENTRAL AIR. Best of all, through double-sliding doors and down the steps, is the private garden. Measuring over 350 square feet, with tons of room for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing, this verdant space is the quintessential Brooklyn outdoor oasis. With bike storage and a large private storage room measuring 100 sq. ft. in the basement, plus low monthlies, this apartment checks all boxes. Surrounded by the great dining and shopping areas of Vanderbilt Avenue, Washington Avenue and Franklin Avenue, near Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Library and the Botanic Garden, and a short jaunt to several train lines including 2, 3, 4, 5, Q & B. trains, the location is terrific. Pet friendly too!

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.
