Property Description for 283 Park Place
Stately. Classic. Impressive. and now- IN CONTRACT
Not often does a substantial south facing townhouse come up on Park Place that is ready to make it your own. This limestone faced house sits among some of the finest townhouses in Prospect Heights. Lived in by one family for many years, many of the original details remain intact and the entire house is and feels rock solid. Even the mechanicals have are in great shape. The forced hot air system is ready to add AC!
283 Park Place measures 17' x 40' plus 4' bay extensions on the parlor and ground floor and with a 131' extra deep lot. There is plenty of FAR (used 1.46, 1203 sq ft available) to increase the overall footprint of the home.
Presently as the floor plan shows, the house was used as a 3 unit home shared with members of the same family. Now, this house can be rethought as a triplex over a ground floor rental. Or, as in investment property commanding top Brooklyn income with some minor cosmetic upgrades. The backyard is a blank slate for all you gardeners anxious to begin your new outdoor space. (Please note that the photos are just representations of the unlimited possibilities and reconfigurations that this wonderful townhouse offers>)
Park Place is designated as a landmarked block with historical designation. There is a reason- it's gorgeous. Conveniently located near the Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park, Botanical Gardens, Brooklyn Museum, Barclay Center, Atlantic Terminal and so much more. Prospect Heights if you don't already know is considered a most desirable neighborhood as it boasts great transportation options, convenient to Park Slope, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Crown Heights. Delicious dining awaits on Vanderbilt Ave. World famous ice cream parlors dot the neighborhood.
Between the house and the 'hood, what more can you want from living in 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.
