Property Description for 300 Prospect Place

If you are looking for a truly unique townhouse in Prospect Heights, 300 Prospect Place should be at the bull's eye of your target list.

Different from most townhouses, the stairs were relocated towards the back so that you can enjoy the entire width of the house on each floor. This design allows seamless entertaining on the Parlor Floor with easy flow from the living and dining rooms all the way to the back extension where a chef's kitchen awaits. This unusual back extension not only adds more square footage than adjacent houses, the back wall from the Parlor to the 4th Floor is made of glass so light streams into the house from the south facing garden.

The top floor holds the primary bedroom suite with a designer walk-in closet and an ensuite marble bath that holds a large stall shower plus soaking tub. A door leads to a private outdoor terrace where you can enjoy a cup of coffee after your morning ablutions or a midnight snack if you get a craving. This floor is completed by an additional sun-filled study plus a sky light at the top of the stairs.

The Third Floor has an enormous bedroom at the front and a media/tv room that could converted to another bedroom. There is a bonus interior room that could be used for meditation, a gym or for quiet study. A full bath is also on this floor in addition to a wall of built in bookshelves.

The Garden Floor is currently being used as an artist and musician's studio where creativity is contagious. There is a kitchenette and a full bath on this floor in addition to extra cozy places to sleep and lounge.

The basement houses mechanicals, a laundry area and provides extra storage.

300 Prospect Place is legal 2-family townhouse with exquisite finishes and high end touches throughout. A partial list of these thoughtful extras include the radiant heat in the kitchen and primary bath, exposed brick, reclaimed French oak flooring, and a wood burning fireplace. This house is in a class of its own.

300 Prospect Place is located in Prospect Heights, close to shopping and restaurants on Vanderbilt Avenue. The 2/3, B and Q subway lines are nearby plus there's a Farmer's Market on Saturdays at Grand Army Plaza. Prospect Park is only several blocks away where you can enjoy the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Central Library and Brooklyn Museum. Call for an appointment today.

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.
