Charming Windsor Terrace Home Near Prospect Park
Welcome to 57 East 2nd Street, a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated two-unit townhouse currently configured as a spacious single-family residence in the heart of Windsor Terrace. Nestled on a serene block between two of Brooklyn's most treasured green spaces - Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery - this 2,226-square-foot home offers a rare blend of tranquility, history, and versatility. With an alleyway leading to the backyard, a 20-foot-wide interior, and a lot size of 22.42" x 100', this 2,226-square-foot home is filled with charm, sunlight, and possibility.
From the moment you arrive, the inviting front porch with its garden bench sets a peaceful tone. Step inside to discover a home rich with old-world charm: elegant moldings, intricate ceiling medallions, 9" 6" ceilings, and high baseboards showcase the home's character, while modern upgrades like new windows and refreshed kitchen and bathrooms ensure everyday comfort.
The layout spans five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with bay windows in both the front living room and the sunlit primary bedroom. A striking stained glass skylight feature, flood the upper floor with natural light. A back porch opens to a lush, private garden anchored by a beautiful dogwood tree, azaleas, irises, roses, hosta, peonies, hydrangeas, - an ideal space for quiet mornings or casual gatherings.
The full basement houses laundry and offers a blank canvas for additional living space-perfect for a rec room. Mechanical systems are in good condition, with a relatively new boiler.
Set in an exceptionally walkable neighborhood, you're just moments from local favorites including bistros, coffee shops, a yoga studio, Food Town, and the Prospect Park Tennis Center. Transportation is easy with nearby subway lines, bus service, and CitiBike access.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a distinctive home in one of Brooklyn's most beloved enclaves.

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.
