Property Description for 167 Underhill Ave
Prospect Heights c.1897, 19 Foot Wide, Historic Renaissance Revival, Limestone Townhouse. Four stories, three families, designed by noted Brooklyn developer turned NY State Senator William H. Reynolds. 167 Underhill sits today, mere blocks from Grand Army Plaza, on land originally designated for the establishment of Prospect Park. However, Olmstead & Vaux's vision moves the park slightly west, allowing Reynolds to realize his own. The exceptional symmetric Renaissance elements, such as wide molding at the door and window, are mixed here with hints of the Romanesque. Enter at parlor level, with beautifully paneled wood, glass double doors, and transom into classic Brooklyn Townhouse. High-ceilinged, with wood-paneled hallway and pier mirrors intact. The rear of this level surprises, with three bayed windows overlooking a private garden, the perfect primary bedroom suite. Original details remain throughout, including decorative window casings, wainscoting, mantles, and inlaid parquet flooring. Currently set up as a six-room owner's duplex with two units above, the potential to create grand owner space is untapped, and the property will be delivered vacant. The location is unparalleled, surrounded by the cultural institutions of The Brooklyn Museum, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, all of the amenities of Brownstone Brooklyn, and, of course, the grandeur of Prospect Park. At over 3,500 sq ft, realize your vision.

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.
