Property Description for 61 Eastern Parkway, 2-G
Welcome to Unit 2G, a generously sized 1 Bed, 1 Bath Coop, quietly nestled in the rear of the building, away from the hustle & bustle of majestic tree-lined Eastern Parkway, designed by the famous Frederick Law Olmsted & Calvert Vaux.
The layout of this apartment offers the best of prewar construction with a foyer, gorgeous archways, curved cornice moldings, deep closets, high ceilings, original solid wood doors, and stunning original parquet oak floors.
The windowed kitchen was thoughtfully renovated with extra tall wood cabinetry, Carrara marble slab counters & backsplash. There is a GE Gas Range, a Samsung French door refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher. The kitchen has also been outfitted with a double-wide pullout pantry and a second pantry for all of your cleaning supplies, plus a separate dry bar for either a coffee or cocktail station.
The living/dining room is large enough to accommodate a sectional sofa, a dining area and flexible space for a desk or a reading nook.
Past the living room is a discreet windowed bathroom with classic NY black & white subway tiles and black 1" mosaic hexagon floor tiles. Fashioned in Art Deco style with a white porcelain pedestal sink and tub with chrome accessories make this bathroom timeless in its design. Located across from the bathroom in the hallway are two deep & tall closets for all of your storage needs.
The sizeable bedroom can fit a king-sized bed, along with additional furniture or a desk area, and the unexpected large closet with customized hanging & shelving makes organizing your new room easy.

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.
