Property Description for 295 Saint Johns Place, 1-G
Located in the heart of Prospect Heights, 295 St. Johns Place is a classic, pre-war, elevator, pet-friendly coop right off Prospect Park. Just a few steps up from the marble lobby is Apartment 1G, a stylish 2bed/1bath apartment with a renovated kitchen and bath.
The foyer makes for a warm entry and leads into a renovated, windowed, eat-in kitchen--redone in 2014--with Ann Sacks tiles, marble countertops and Fisher & Paykel appliances. A closet off the entry houses in-unit laundry.
The living/dining room is in the center of the home, with two windows and plenty of space for a cozy sectional, dining table and an upright piano. This is the heart of the home. Off of it is a queen-sized bedroom and the windowed bathroom, where beautiful handmade tiles made by the ceramist owner were installed throughout. The primary bedroom is in the rear, with enough room for a king-sized bed and furniture set. The owners had custom window guards made by ironworkers based in Brooklyn. In case the ample closets throughout are not enough, there is additional private storage in the basement!
295 St. John’s Place is a 54 unit pre-war, elevator, co-op with an Art Deco lobby and manicured, shared courtyard. The building is pet-friendly, has bike storage and a live-in super.
Nestled just off Grand Army Plaza, this location can’t be beat. Prospect Park, the 2,3,4,5,B,Q trains, the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanic Gardens, and the Saturday Farmers’ Market are a stone’s throw away. Also close by are many outstanding eateries and amenities: Union Market, Crunch Gym, Olmsted, Flatbush Counter, Prospect Butcher, La Lou, multiple Citibike stations and parking garages.
Zoned for PS 9.

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.
