Property Description for 17 East 17th Street, B-5

Only 10% downpayment Condo, why rent when you can buy! Discover the charm of one of the few pre-war Condo buildings close to Prospect Park! Seize the opportunity to reside in a meticulously-renovated, two-bedroom apartment with a roof deck that showcases the beauty of Brooklyn. This second-floor gem bathes in natural light courtesy of five rear-facing windows that ensure tranquillity throughout the day. Conveniently located just steps from Prospect Park and surrounded by the magnificent mansions of Prospect Park South and Ditmas Park, this pet-friendly condo apartment boasts vintage charm in the lobby and hallways, with high ceilings and an oversized fireplace mantel near the building's entrance. The property also offers its residents a convenient Amazon storage unit. After climbing just one flight of stairs to the second floor (often considered the best floor in a walk-up), you will notice the apartment's excellent layout. From the spacious entrance foyer with a large closet to the two king-sized bedrooms separated by a hallway for added privacy, the designer thoughtfully planned every detail over a century ago. The open living and dining area, with high ceilings and windows overlooking the quieter side of the building, reflects the well-crafted design that make this unit exceptional. The floors throughout the property have been updated with rich white oak. The unit has custom millwork, beautiful cabinetry, hardware, fixtures, high-grade appliances, a dishwasher, a microwave, and a washer and dryer. There is also access to washers and dryers in the basement for oversized laundry items. This condo apartment's low maintenance and low taxes check many boxes for buyers on a budget. The location could not be better: just one block from two good express subway lines in NYC, the B, and Q, you will be in Manhattan in less than 30 minutes. This property is located off the Parade Grounds entrance of Prospect Park, which offers convenience for transportation and recreation. Many restaurants, bars, and shops are nearby on Church Avenue, Cortelyou Road, and Prospect Park Southwest.

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.
