Property Description for 140 East 2nd Street, 5-H

Step back into a time when homes were crafted with spacious living areas and thoughtful architectural details, like charming wall niches and elegant picture and floor moldings that blend function and style. Welcome to Unit 5H—a legal one-bedroom, one-bath home that is used as two large queen bedrooms. This recently renovated residence seamlessly combines the timeless elegance of pre-war architecture with modern conveniences in a pet-friendly, amenity-rich building. For those who love cooking, the windowed, eat-in kitchen has been beautifully updated with sleek stainless steel appliances, expansive countertops, and space for a large breakfast table. The western exposure ensures the home is bathed in warm afternoon and evening sunlight. Upon entering, you’re welcomed by a spacious foyer that can easily double as a home office. To the left, an elegant archway opens into the expansive living and formal dining area, where two large windows invite the beautiful late-day light inside. The two large bedrooms offer a different light-filled atmosphere—one enjoys Western exposure, while the other benefits from Northern exposure. Both rooms are generously sized to accommodate queen-sized beds and additional furniture. The recently renovated bathroom exudes classic charm with white subway tiles, sleek black flooring, and tasteful fixtures, all set within a bright windowed space. 140 East 2nd Street is a well-maintained pre-war elevator building, highly sought-after in the bucolic neighborhood of Windsor Terrace. Residents enjoy the convenience of a live-in superintendent, music recording studio, bike storage, laundry facility, stroller parking, a children’s playroom, common outdoor space, and a storage room. Low maintenance fees include internet and cable. It’s ideally situated near the F and G subway lines, Prospect Park, as well as local shops and restaurants.

Windsor Terrace | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

The tiny, comma-shaped neighborhood of Windsor Terrace is bookended between two of Brooklyn’s largest green spaces, Prospect Park and the massive Green-Wood cemetery. Aside from the presence of the Prospect Park Expressway, which dissects the neighborhood in two, this residential community offers a suburban sensibility with its tree-lined streets, low volume traffic and the low height character of its streetscape.  

Many homes in the area are low to the ground, lending a suburban feel to the neighborhood, and the area has been down-zoned to maintain its low-rise appeal and character. There are plentiful brick row houses that have very low turnover. If you are lucky enough to buy or rent one, you tend to hold on to it. There are also small apartment buildings, private homes, condos and multi-family homes in a wide price range

There is commercial development along Prospect Park West, Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Avenue, but even these new stores and restaurants are mostly family-owned and operated, maintaining the small-town charm. The pace of life is slower. The schools are good, which is a big draw for families with young children. The people are friendly, which gives a real sense of neighborhood and community to Windsor Terrace.
