Property Description for 1123 Albemarle Road
1123 Albemarle, a rare two-family, built in 1902 by Carrol H. Pratt resides in the Historic District of Prospect Park South. Previously owned by Herbert F. Gunnison who was the publisher of the Brooklyn, Daily Eagle, 1123 Albemarle bathes in natural light and is 6,216 sq ft, giving you enough room for three floors and a basement. The bonus is the two-car garage with a driveway that parks four additional cars.
Both apartments have charm and character that stand the test of time. The garden level duplex is the biggest floor plan of approximately 3,440 sq ft. The grand living room has amazing light from a big picture window and two stained glass windows. The coffered ceilings are stunning, decorated with period paint colors and continue into the formal dining room as you pass through the original sliding doors. The wall of stained glass windows with a nautical motif are beautiful and allow in streams of natural light. The charm continues as you enter the eat in windowed kitchen through original stained glass French doors. The primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom is one of three sizable bedrooms. There are multiple closets throughout with one that is big enough to be a separate office if needed. The basement is finished with a custom made bar which is great for entertaining. You will also find a private office, a full laundry room with a stained glass window and a half bathroom. There is even more room for that yoga studio or the screening room that you always wanted.
The apartment above has unencumbered light and tree-lined views. With approximately 2,800 sq ft, the living room is big enough for a grand piano and a couple of large sofas. The formal dining has stunning details including a wall of stained glass windows, period arches and original lead glass cupboards. Today it would be an amazing office or second living room. The kitchen is open to the dining room with an abundance of windows and a separate dining area. The primary bedroom has a wall of stained glass windows that enhances the romance of the room. The bedroom count is 5 in this apartment with two on the main level and three light filled bedrooms on the top floor. There is even a hidden storage room off the windowed bathroom upstairs. The private terrace has tree lined views of the beautiful Prospect Park South community.
Satisfy all your food cravings on Cortelyou or a little closer to home at Le Paddock or Cena's on Prospect Ave. Test your athletic prowess at the Prospect Park Parade Grounds by joining in a soccer tournament or a tennis match. With parking for 6 cars, be in lower Manhattan in 12 minutes via Prospect Expressway or JFK in 22. You can also take the Q/B at Beverley Road if you would like. Either way, commuting is easy.

Prospect Park South | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Charming tree-lined blocks, grand homes, and grassy center esplanades - Prospect Park South feels more like a quiet suburb than Brooklyn, the most populated borough in New York City.
The small landmarked neighborhood in south Brooklyn is bounded by Coney Island Avenue to the southwest, Ocean Avenue to the northeast, Prospect Park to the south, and Beverly Road to the south.
Don’t let the suburban vibe of Prospect Park South fool you, urban grit awaits you just outside the neighborhood's boundaries. It’s about a 45-minute commute to Manhattan on the B, Q, or F train or a short walk to livelier neighborhoods. Prospect Park South is flanked by Windsor Terrace, Kensington, Ditmas Park, and Flatbush. It’s the best of both worlds.
The history of the neighborhood starts with its original developer, Dean Alvord. If it wasn’t for his unique vision, Prospect Park South may have never blossomed into what it is today. In 1899 Alvord wanted to take advantage of Brooklyn’s newly created railway system that connected the borough. He purchased farmland and began building the neighborhood, which began as a six-block-by-two-block swatch of land with grand homes. Many of the houses were Victorian-inspired. Alvord marketed the neighborhood as a slice of country in the big city and the rest is pretty much history.
Prospect Park South is a few blocks bigger these days. Its grand Victorian-style homes still define the neighborhood. Other architectural styles found in the nabe include Colonial, French Revival, and Spanish Mission. Apartments and a few prewar co-ops complete the neighborhood's housing stock.
There aren’t too many places to shop in Prospect Park South but you might find a few spots in the commercial areas along Coney Island Avenue and Church Avenue. The suburban setting of Prospect Park South is popular with young families, which is why they’ve flocked there for the last decade.
