Property Description for 60 Plaza Street East, 4-J
60 Plaza St E, 4J
This light-filled, grand and glamourous home will make you smile from the moment you enter. Gut-renovated and architect-designed in 2018 it's evident that no detail went unnoticed in its transformation. Every inch of its expansive 1,190 SQUARE FEET has been re-imagined to create an elegant, modern space, while still honoring its classic lines and Art Deco heritage. Extra-large dimensions and clean sight lines allow every room to feel open, light and airy.
Light spills in from south-west facing oversized windows which frame lush, peaceful, tree-top views. The luxuriously large foyer is practically a room in itself. It's open to the sun-filled great room offering ample space for living and dining, which is perfect for entertaining. The magnificent, open kitchen is a chef's dream with its marble counters and backsplash, custom cabinetry, designer hardware and lighting and a high-end paneled appliance package featuring Smeg and Bosch. There are two bedrooms and the primary bedroom is larger than most NYC studio apartments! It easily accommodates a California King with more than enough room to spare. Its unique corner exposure adds to its beauty and charm. The pristine, windowed bathroom couldn't be prettier and features Carrera marble mosaic tile, chic hardware, seamless glass shower door and classic subway tile. The bathroom is enormous and offers a separate shower stall and additional tub/shower making it easy for a busy household to get ready in the mornings. The home office is tucked away and roomy enough for two work stations or can be used as an exercise space. Its many other features include: 5 custom-built closets, pristine oak floors, ingenious storage, original built-ins, plaster details and arched entryways.
The Grand Plaza is an iconic, landmark co-op designed by acclaimed Art Deco architect Philip Birnbaum c. 1940. It's a pet-friendly elevator building offering a live-in super, doorman, a gorgeous lobby, professionally landscaped gardens, excellent financials, (NO UNDERLYING MORTGAGE!), laundry room, bike and private storage (upon availability). You're located on prestigious Plaza Street, which is known for its elegant architecture, extra-wide curved sidewalks, and centuries-old trees allowing it to feel like a lush, green sanctuary in the heart of NYC. You're perfectly located on the border of Park Slope and Prospect Heights, with easy access to a wealth of destination cafes, shops, wine bars and restaurants, including: Olmsted, James, Faun and Fausto. You're steps away from Grand Army Plaza, Bailey Fountain and historic Prospect Park, with its miles of running and cycling trails, a newly renovated 32,000 sq ft skating rink, playgrounds and tennis courts. It hosts the Summer Stage concert series, Smorgasburg and the weekly Farmer's Market. You're a short walk to Brooklyn's cultural heart: The Museum, Botanic Garden and Library. The 2/3 and B/Q trains are practically right outside your door (3 stops to Manhattan!). Experience a quality of life you may not have thought possible in this historic and picturesque pocket of Brooklyn.

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.
