Property Description for 263 Prospect Place, 1
An architect-designed, Zen-inspired, two-bedroom, two-bathroom parlor floor condominium with magnificent private outdoor space in Prospect Heights.
On an idyllic, tree-lined street off of Vanderbilt Avenue sits this sun-filled, floor-through home in a boutique limestone four-unit building. Upon entry, one is greeted by the southern light streaming in from bay windows with original moldings framing lush treetops. The expansive great room with soaring ceilings provides ample space for both living and dining and leads to a phenomenal open kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances by Bertazzoni and Bosch. A sense of calm pervades as you notice the perfectly placed built-ins for storage and enjoyment throughout.
The king-sized primary suite features a plethora of built-in closets, a spacious ensuite bath with tempered glass enclosed stone shower stall, and the entrance to the piece de resistance - a spacious deck leading to a stunning, professionally landscaped garden. With ample room for a full dinner table, lounge furnishings, and a BBQ grill, this garden is complete with bluestone pavers and a pebbled relaxation area, receives incredible natural light, and is the perfect outdoor oasis
The spacious second bedroom features a skylight, another built-in closet, and is across the hall from the second full bathroom equipped with a deep soaking tub and Bosch washer and dryer. Newly refinished oak floors and ductless AC for precise temperature control are throughout, and an absolutely massive space for storage in the basement completes the picture of everything you could ask for in your new residence.
Located at the very center of bustling Prospect Heights, 263 Prospect Place is truly perfectly placed. With everything you could need including Michelin starred restaurants, wine shops, barbershops, groceries, craft cocktails, coffee, and every cuisine imaginable on Vanderbilt Avenue to Prospect Park, playgrounds, the Brooklyn Library, Botanic Gardens, and the Brooklyn Museum all within blocks, this location cannot be better. Four express trains (2/3/Q/B) down the street round out the picture of perfection for lifestyle and convenience.

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.
