25 Prospect Park Southwest

Embrace the opportunity to own and create your forever home. Situated on a most desirable block in Brooklyn, this beautiful house built in 1899 is one of a distinct row of three-story Beaux Arts limestones set directly opposite Prospect Park just off Bartel-Pritchard Circle. Long-held and lovingly maintained for decades, this 3-family townhome is a rare find. Natural light floods the interiors of this home, starting with an elegant owners' duplex on the parlour floor. Through the double entry doors, you will find original and restored details characteristic of the period, including decorative mouldings, high coffered ceilings, park-facing bay windows, refinished oak inlaid parquet floors, garden-facing bay window with stained glass transoms, and pocket doors. The newly-renovated designer kitchen (including custom cabinetry, dolomite tile, vented range, and heated floors) opens to the spacious back deck, a perfect retreat for relaxing and entertaining. The finished English basement has all of that coveted extra space that comes with home ownership, including generous storage throughout, a full bath with jacuzzi tub, a windowed home office, den, exercise room and huge laundry room with slate floors. The original details continue in the second and third floor units. These two-bedroom, one bath full floor apartments have living rooms with stunning park-facing bay windows, eat-in kitchens and inlaid oak floors. There are numerous possibilities for configuring this home to suit you. You can move into the owner’s duplex and maintain income-producing rentals or convert to a two-family or single-family home. Perfectly situated, with all 526 acres of Prospect Park at your doorstep and the F/G trains 400 feet away. Neighborhood favorites such as Krupa Grocery, Double Windsor, Brunswick, Poetica Coffee, the Nitehawk movie theater and Terrace Bagels are around the corner on Prospect Park West. The Bartel-Pritchard Square Farmers Market, open Wednesday and Sunday, is across the street.
