Property Description for 164 Prospect Place, 1
This open floor plan, two-bedroom apartment with a one-of-a-kind south-facing garden is an urban sanctuary. The backyard garden and patio spans over 600 square feet and features dozens of different flower and plant species, many of them planted and consistently cultivated for the last three decades. There is a beautiful wooden pergola, home to a 100-year-old grapevine, stunning stonework, and a wrought iron archway. The extra-large patio is perfect for dining, entertaining, barbecuing, and relaxing.
The floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that overlook the garden, combined with the open floor plan, give the apartment a light, airy feel. The home is remarkable in how well it is designed. There are built-ins tucked behind the dining room table that doubles as a bench, split A/C units rarely found in coop buildings, hardwood floors, and French doors that play beautifully with the light. The king-sized bedroom easily fits a desk as well as an exercise bike, and has windows that look onto another front garden, with rhododendrons, dogwood trees, and ferns. Every room in this apartment looks out onto trees.
This apartment is in a small 4-unit building with very reasonable maintenance, located barely a block from the B/Q subway and the heart of the Prospect Heights shopping and dining district on Vanderbilt Ave. It's a ten minute stroll to Prospect Park.
(Second bedroom has been virtually staged.)

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.
