Property Description for 508 17th Street
There's a story behind this house.... Come to the open house or request a personal showing and find out!
Nestled between Brooklyn's two most prized green spaces, Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery, in the small-town neighborhood of Windsor Terrace, just off the main drag along Prospect Park West, stands 508 17th Street, a 3-story, frame, multi-unit house on a 20 X 100 lot. This house has been lovingly renovated by the last two owners and is now used as one unit, although the second kitchen on the top floor could be easily restored. The garden floor has central AC, a huge living room, a 400 square foot, windowed, eat-in kitchen, a landscaped garden, and a fully built-out basement with three individual spaces. The parlor floor is divided into two bedrooms, with 10-foot ceilings, a bathroom, and a huge terrace, plus ceiling fans and a brand new AC splitter system. The top floor has its own new AC splitters, two additional bedrooms, a renovated bathroom, and an additional room which can serve as a bedroom or office. The present owners have completely remodeled over their ownership, highlighted by the addition of solar panels on the roof. These panels feed electricity into the Con Ed system, which results in extremely low electric bills, or none at all!. They have also installed new front steps, new fencing, and re-stained the deck and terrace in the palatial, double-level back yard. In addition, they added a new hot water heater, new doors, and a new interior stairway to complete the latest renovations. The previous owners installed a new natural gas boiler, 200-amp electrical service, new roof on the top floor as well as the extension, new siding front and rear, new built-ins, a vented washer/dryer, bamboo flooring, and new double-pane windows.
Windsor Terrace is one of the true treasures of Brooklyn with all the borough has to offer and 508 is in the center of it. The F/G train is just a few blocks away, as is the entrance to Prospect Park, Greenwood Cemetery, Nitehawk Prospect Park Cinema, restaurants like Double Windsor, Krupa Grocery, Le Paddock, a myriad of Kensington eateries, and just about anything else you could imagine. Come home and enjoy!

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.
