Property Description for 856 Washington Ave, 2-A

Welcome to this beautifully appointed three bedroom, two and a half bathroom with over 1500sqft and soaring 10’6” ceilings!

The expansive foyer flows into the stunning open layout chef's kitchen with custom walnut cabinetry, fully integrated Thermador appliances, and a huge breakfast bar topped off with Pietra del Cardosastone countertops. The hardwood floors guide you past the kitchen to the oversized living and dining room space with three large windows.

Off the living room, you will find the third bedroom which is currently set up as a home office and workout room. Making your way across the living room, you’ll find the second bedroom and adjacent bathroom with a honed Carrara marble countertop, Grey Ara Greggio tiled walls, and a Dornbracht faucet.

At the end of the apartment is the massive primary bedroom wing which offers two large windows, an enormous WIC, and a tranquil en-suite bathroom complete with heated floors, a floating vanity of Bianco Bella marble, and double Blanco satin polished sinks with Dornbracht faucets. Recessed lighting throughout the home, a powder room, a Bosch washer & dryer in the unit located at the pin-drop back of the building round out this complete home.

856 Washington is filled with modern conveniences and amenities designed to enhance the experience of urban life. In the lobby, a re-imagined installation of vintage deposit boxes captures a piece of the building’s historic past through artistic expression. A full amenity package with a third-floor courtyard and landscaped roof deck soaring 150 feet over Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park, a library with herringbone oak floors contains a curated selection of books, a residents’ lounge, fitness center, and yoga room, bike room, and storage. Located right around the corner from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Brooklyn Museum, this ideal location offers the perfect blend of a neighborhood-y feel and ultimate convenience. Washington Avenue is filled with eateries, bars, and cafes with standouts being Islands, Maya Taqueria, and dare we say the best bagels at the Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shoppe. Yum! Train access is a breeze at Eastern Parkway for 2 & 3 trains, and the 4 & 5 is nearby at the Botanic Garden stop. Additionally, the Barclay’s Center plays host to the Nets and features an endless roster of talented performances. When it’s time to pack up and get away, Atlantic Terminal is Brooklyn’s largest train station with three Long Island Railroad lines, nine subways, and over 750,000 square feet of shopping and dining to explore.

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.
