Property Description for 61 Eastern Parkway, 6-D
61 Eastern Parkway 6D
Top floor stunner at The Abraham Lincoln
This lovely home has been gorgeously renovated to create clean, open site lines from the moment you walk in. The stunning kitchen is open to the dining room and offers stone countertops, a farm-house sink, top-of-the-line appliances and a breakfast bar. The same custom cabinetry was used to create a convenient and smart office nook. The large and lovely living room boasts city views and glorious sunsets. There are two generously-sized bedrooms, which are privately located in their own wing. The owners worked closely with an architect to create a charming 3rd bedroom with custom glass and steel barn doors, which functions perfectly as a guest room, a media room or additional office space. Both bathrooms are beautifully renovated and couldn't be prettier.
The home feels light, bright and breezy thanks to its extra high ceilings, a graceful, open flow and eleven windows bringing in all-day sunshine. Great closet space, a private STORAGE CAGE in the basement, pristine wide-plank hickory floors, custom millwork, plaster walls and original Art Deco hardware complete the picture.
You're located at one of the most prestigious full-service buildings along the Parkway. The Abraham Lincoln circa 1930, is pet-friendly and offers a full-time doorman, live in super, a stunning Art Deco marble lobby, basement laundry, bike and private storage. You're situated on the nation's first parkway, designed by Central Park's Frederick Olmsted and designated a National Scenic Landmark in 1978. You're across the street from The Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden and steps away from Prospect Park, with its miles of running and cycling trails, 32,000 sq ft skating rink, playgrounds and tennis courts. The 2/3 trains are steps away and you have all of the neighborhood's destination cafes, shops and restaurants at your fingertips.

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.
