Property Description for 536 17th Street
536 17th Street is a dream home for a discerning buyer seeking a house that blends historic charm and character with modern upgrades. This light-filled, wood-framed 19th century townhouse is complete with many original details including stained glass, wide-plank pine floors and crown molding. A beautiful legal 2-family used as a spacious, renovated single family home is set in prime Windsor Terrace just off Prospect Park West and moments to Park Slope and the famed Prospect Park. The house is 20-ft wide on a 100-ft lot allowing for a welcoming front yard with blue stone pavers and a lush and deep back garden with deck and patios. Enjoy 3 glorious floors of roomy living space, plus an open and clean cellar with plenty of extra room for storage or home gym.
Enter into the first floor through the front-planted garden, throw off your shoes, and step into this gem of a home. A comfortable sitting room and dining room welcome you and showcases an original built-in hutch. Beyond is an open and renovated country kitchen with an original tin ceiling. The fabulous kitchen is well-appointed with an abundance of storage, plenty of counter space, and outfitted with GE profile stove and Bosch dishwasher. Deep blue cabinets contrast with white marble countertops for a distinctively refreshing country palette. From here, step out to your deep and lush garden - the perfect setting for lounging galore and backyard BBQ’s!
Make your way to the second floor, with a more formal entrance from the stoop, into the airy and open floor-through double parlor with soaring ceilings. Plenty of room here for that grand piano you’ve always dreamed of! Built-in bookshelves flank the sun-filled and airy living room and a built in desk makes for a convenient dedicated work-from-home space. A renovated bathroom with shower is also located on this floor. Step straight out to the south-facing spacious deck from the parlor floor for a seamless indoor/outdoor experience and enjoy a glass of wine or coffee al fresco.
The artful and impressive original wooden staircase leads to the third floor with 3 bedrooms and a full bath with laundry. The south-facing master bedroom affords a tranquil retreat with space for a sitting area or desk. A claw-foot tub and a conveniently-located new, stackable, ventless Bosch washer/dryer are located in the large renovated bathroom. Two additional bedrooms are set in the front.
The large and dry basement completes the picture of this irresistible home and allows for plenty of storage, room for a home gym, or wine cellar.
Thoughtful improvements that add to your creature comforts include split system A/C throughout as well as updated electric, plumbing, gas boiler, water heater, back windows, and floors. Original wide-plank pine floors are featured throughout, adding to the charm and warmth of this historic yet upgraded townhouse.
536 17th Street is conveniently located in the much sought-after part of Windsor Terrace, close to shops, restaurants and cafes such as the beloved Krupa, Poetica, Double Windsor, the subway, and other local amenities. Just a few strides to the entrance to Prospect Park.

Windsor Terrace | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
The tiny, comma-shaped neighborhood of Windsor Terrace is bookended between two of Brooklyn’s largest green spaces, Prospect Park and the massive Green-Wood cemetery. Aside from the presence of the Prospect Park Expressway, which dissects the neighborhood in two, this residential community offers a suburban sensibility with its tree-lined streets, low volume traffic and the low height character of its streetscape.
Many homes in the area are low to the ground, lending a suburban feel to the neighborhood, and the area has been down-zoned to maintain its low-rise appeal and character. There are plentiful brick row houses that have very low turnover. If you are lucky enough to buy or rent one, you tend to hold on to it. There are also small apartment buildings, private homes, condos and multi-family homes in a wide price range
There is commercial development along Prospect Park West, Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Avenue, but even these new stores and restaurants are mostly family-owned and operated, maintaining the small-town charm. The pace of life is slower. The schools are good, which is a big draw for families with young children. The people are friendly, which gives a real sense of neighborhood and community to Windsor Terrace.
