Property Description for 173 Prospect Place
Welcome to 173 Prospect Pl, a gracious 20ft wide, 2-family brownstone with a 131ft-deep lot on Prospect Height's premiere block.
Up the beautiful stoop, ideal for sitting to chat with neighbors, is a lovely parlor floor entrance, where you are greeted by prewar charm as soon as you enter the foyer, replete with a prewar built-in pier mirror and coat rack, stunning staircase, dining room door with etched glass, and massive arched opening to the front parlor.
The front parlor features soaring ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling windows, an ornate Italianate marble mantle with an iron summer cover, a modern chandelier, and more than enough space for a formal sitting area and additional music room, as the current owners have done. Through a pair of French doors is the formal dining room, featuring a matching Italianate mantle, floor-to-ceiling window, and room for a massive table for hosting holiday meals.
The eat-in kitchen is in a large extension, with a door to a terrace for al fresco dining and grilling and access to the extra deep garden below. This floor also features a powder room, ideal for entertaining.
Upstairs is the primary suite, with a generous king-sized bedroom, ensuite bath, decorative fireplace, and sliding doors to a primary terrace! Down the hall you'll find two more bedrooms, one utilized as a library with a wood burning fireplace, another as a home office. On the top floor, where a skylight streams in tremendous light, are three more bedrooms, another full bath, and a laundry room.
A 2 bedroom/2 bathroom garden rental is one of the best in town, with a unique layout utilizing the space under the stoop for a light-filled, front-facing kitchen. It features a massive living/dining room, in-unit laundry, and a second bedroom with access to a demarcated yard space.
173 Prospect Pl has been lovingly cared for by its owners, with some key updates made throughout, such as split-unit AC throughout the owners' triplex. It's situated in an ideal location near trains, but removed from the noise. It's on a lovely block between bucolic Carlton and bustling Vanderbilt, with its buzzy Michelin-rated restaurants and enviable Open Streets, and very close to Prospect Park.

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.
