Property Description for 135 Eastern Parkway, 8-A

Bring your sunglasses! This light-flooded show-stopping 1900 SF home is ready to be moved into today OR add your custom touches over time and have one of the most coveted 3 or 4 bedroom homes in all of brownstone Brooklyn. Situated on a high floor at Turner Towers, one of the only 24-hour doorman, Art-Deco masterpieces in the borough, indulge your desire to spread out in a Classic 7 with breathtaking protected South-facing views over the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park, the Botanic Gardens, elegant Eastern Parkway, and the 2/3 subways at your doorstep. This full-service building has been beautifully restored throughout and features a glamorous lobby, multiple elevators, is pet-friendly, and features generously scaled rooms and ceiling heights the likes of which you will never find in the newer buildings or surrounding townhouses. Unit 8A is a super sunny corner apartment currently configured as 3-bed, 2 bath home with a massive Great Room overlooking the museum. Large enough to house a grand piano, plus a formal dining room, windowed kitchen, in-unit vented laundry area, two impressively scaled bedrooms with corner window exposures, and a third smaller bedroom or home office. With very little work this home could easily have a fourth bedroom and third bathroom or powder room without any compromises. Additional special features include stunning inlaid hardwood floors, a cedar closet, classic black and white-tiled windowed bathrooms, designer lighting, and generous storage throughout. A gracious foyer gives you the perfect spot to stow away your seasonal clothing changes, strollers, and leashes, while also providing a dramatic entrance to this classic beauty. Entertain guests in style for the holidays in a formal dining room that can easily be opened up to the kitchen and living spaces should you prefer a more open living style, or keep as-is, and never feel lacking in style or space. Art and oversized furniture walls abound in every room of this sophisticated home, perfectly lit from a wall of south-facing windows and accented with light from eastern exposures as well, all on one floor, no stairs anywhere. Whether its daytime or evening, the jaw-dropping views of the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park over the treetops are guaranteed to amaze friends and family alike. Recently skim-coated throughout, this home is absolutely move-in condition, but with a few updates to the kitchen, this home will be magazine-worthy. An alternate floorplan has been provided to show how you can return this to a 4-bedroom by moving just one wall. Enjoy the benefits of around-the-clock staff, parking across the street at the museum, the Greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza, express subway trains, off-the-leash dog hours and endless amounts of summer and winter fun in Prospect Park and the Botanic Gardens, a host of award-winning restaurants and amenities in every direction, and PS 9 around the corner. This apartment really is the size of a townhouse with no daily chores required, or loss of space from staircases eating into your living areas. The monthly maintenance fee includes your heating and water bills, plus a full-time staff for package delivery and garbage duty and are about 40% tax deductible too. This really is the perfect brownstone alternative for a buyer looking for a life well-lived with historic charms and great light without the hassles of home ownership.

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.
