Property Description for 50 Plaza Street East, 10-A
OPEN HOUSES BY APPOINTMENT. This gracious Classic Seven apartment sits on the 10th floor of 50 Plaza, an elegant pre-war elevator building. The apartment’s entrance foyer invites you into the ample sun-filled living room with breathtaking, unobstructed views from the Grand Army Arch and the entrance to Prospect Park, to the tip of Verrazano Bridge and even to Lady Liberty.
The apartment’s generous kitchen opens to the dining room which, like the living room and primary bedroom, has jaw dropping views. The bedroom wing includes the primary bedroom, with double exposures and an en suite bath, plus two other full sized bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill bath. The former maid's room presently serves as a convenient home office with a half bath but could easily be used as a fourth bedroom. There are closets and storage aplenty and an in-unit washer/dryer.
True to the era, the apartment flows effortlessly. Feast your eyes everywhere you turn. Flooded with light, it’s a corner apartment that gloriously towers over neighboring buildings.
This pet-friendly building is staffed with a part-time doorman, a porter and a live-in superintendent. Being at Butler Place and Plaza Street places you at the center of Prime Prospect Heights. The Brooklyn Library, Botanic Gardens, Brooklyn Museum, Saturday Green Market and all the glories of Prospect Park are at your doorstep. Around the corner is Vanderbilt Avenue where you’ll find everything from groceries to craft cocktails, coffee, wine shops, a good haircut and wonderful restaurants representing a wide range of cuisines including Thai, Mexican, Italian, Japanese and even Michelin starred restaurants. All combine to make this a delightful place to call home.

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.
