As you enter the unit you are greeted with a large entry foyer/gallery featuring two custom coat and storage closets, and a gracious archway which opens out to the living room. Beautiful hardwood floors and recessed lighting make this a warm and serene space to relax. At the far end of the room you’ll find a flexible space tucked away behind a beautiful pair of French pocket doors; when not in use, the doors disappear and you enjoy one large open living space.
The fully renovated and windowed eat-in kitchen was designed as a quintessential union of form and function with the home chef kept top-of-mind. The timeless design features not only the requisite stainless appliances including dishwasher, full-sized refrigerator and gas stove, but it also includes ample storage space, stylish and durable quartz countertops, and a gorgeous decorative backsplash.
The bedroom is truly king-sized, with three windows and two large custom closets. You’ll have room for your bed, dressers, and even a club chair or chaise so you can live your dream of having a reading corner for enjoying your coffee and the morning news or a good book.
The full bath is also windowed, and has been tastefully modernized with a clean black-and-white color palette as well as extra storage and counter space.
Last but certainly not least, you’ll delight in having your own in-unit washer and dryer! The tiled W/D closet is built-out with additional shelves and storage bars so you’ll have room for all of your laundry supplies and then some.
81 Ocean Parkway is an art-deco-style pre-war co-op located right in the middle of all the best that lower Windsor Terrace has to offer. This fastidiously-maintained pet friendly building offers a live-in super, laundry room, bicycle and private storage (for a fee, waitlisted), and a spectacular communal garden space for all shareholders to enjoy. The building is situated only two blocks from the F/G trains, Greenwood Playground, Prospect Park, Parade Grounds, and the Windsor Terrace Library. You’ll enjoy easy access to the myriad shopping, grocery, and dining options for which this corner of the neighborhood is known — including Hamilton’s, Brancaccio’s, Della Valle, LePaddock, Cena, Adirondack, Batata, Der Pioneer, Wheated, and Werkstatt. Please note in addition to the published monthly maintenance there is a monthly assessment of $132 through August 2029.
Quick Profile
The tiny, comma-shaped neighborhood of Windsor Terrace is bookended between two of Brooklyn’s largest green spaces, Prospect Park and the massive Green-Wood cemetery. Aside from the presence of the Prospect Park Expressway, which dissects the neighborhood in two, this residential community offers a suburban sensibility with its tree-lined streets, low volume traffic and the low height character of its streetscape.
Many homes in the area are low to the ground, lending a suburban feel to the neighborhood, and the area has been down-zoned to maintain its low-rise appeal and character. There are plentiful brick row houses that have very low turnover. If you are lucky enough to buy or rent one, you tend to hold on to it. There are also small apartment buildings, private homes, condos and multi-family homes in a wide price range
There is commercial development along Prospect Park West, Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Avenue, but even these new stores and restaurants are mostly family-owned and operated, maintaining the small-town charm. The pace of life is slower. The schools are good, which is a big draw for families with young children. The people are friendly, which gives a real sense of neighborhood and community to Windsor Terrace.
