Property Description for 135 Eastern Parkway, 14-I

Sprawling and stylish at 1,900 square feet, with views of the Brooklyn Museum and Botanical Garden and the Manhattan skyline, 14I is a gorgeously designed and updated 3BR/3BA with mudroom, laundry, home office, and copious storage space. No detail was overlooked in the meticulous renovation, which builds upon the graces of a classic layout — beams framing recessed lighting; gleaming hardwood floors; charming interior design with wallpapers, custom built-ins and custom rugs that convey with sale; built-ins that anchor the living room and frame the custom Hearth Cabinet fireplace; a chef's kitchen with four-burner Viking electric range, Miele dishwasher, SubZero refrigerator, Wolfe microwave, and Marvel beverage fridge — not to mention a full pantry designed with custom shelving and wiring for appliances — and ten spacious closets, including a generously-proportioned and fully-built out walk-in in the primary suite. The entry foyer opens smartly to a generous mudroom and home office set-up that could easily double as a home gym or yoga room, or be maintained as-is with copious storage for shoes, coats, scooters and strollers and his-and-hers workspace; this spacious set-up gives onto the laundry room (with vented Electrolux stack washer/dryer) and the full-size bedroom with en-suite bath — perfect for a child's bedroom, guest suite, or extended home office. The great room is majestically proportioned, with an open island kitchen, custom built-in banquette dining and play area with built-in ceiling speakers throughout, and a large living room with multiple seating areas and stunning Manhattan views. The two bedrooms in the sleeping wing across this great room are each king size, with views onto the Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The views within are equally charming: high end lighting fixtures from Visual Comfort throughout, with  designer wallpapers from Dorothy Draper, Galbraith & Paul, Farrow & Ball, Phillip Jeffries, Scalamandre, and Sister Parish, and custom window treatments (all blackout in bedrooms) with fabrics by Quadrille and LuluDK, all add to the grace and functionality that convey with this classic home. Built in 1926, Turner Towers is a highly sought-after address and remains one of NYC’s most iconic landmark buildings. It offers white glove services, a breath-taking ballroom-sized marble lobby, bike room and basement storage (upon availability), additional pristine laundry room, gym complete with Peloton, building-run family-friendly activities throughout the year, and a professionally landscaped tea garden. Nestled among the beautiful, colorful perennials, climbing vines and planters are comfortable chaise lounges and discrete seating areas.  Situated on the nation’s first parkway, designed by Central Park’s Frederick Olmsted and designated a National Scenic Landmark in 1978, the neighborhood’s destination cafes and restaurants are at your doorstep.The 2/3 trains are right outside the front door, across the street from Brooklyn’s cultural heart: The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Public Library — with the Zoo just a short walk away — and of course, the whole of Prospect Park, with its wonderful weekly Farmers Market at Grand Army Plaza. More than an apartment – 135 Eastern Parkway 14I is a true New York home.

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.
