Property Description for 400 Lincoln Place, 3-I

Nestled on one of Prospect Heights' most picturesque, tree-lined blocks, this lovingly gut-renovated one-bedroom at 400 Lincoln Place pairs authentic pre-war charm with a designer's sensibility, just moments from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the neighborhood's celebrated dining scene.

The current owners reimagined the space with meticulous attention to detail, balancing character, comfort, and craftsmanship in perfect measure. Immediately upon entering you're greeted with a bright, gracious entry foyer with a double-door coat closet, leading to a sun-filled living room framed by treetop views. The scale allows for distinct dining and lounge areas, while custom built-ins, sconce lighting, and a ceiling fan add texture and ambiance. Original parquet floors and high ceilings lend warmth and continuity throughout.

The windowed kitchen is a standout, a joyful mix of traditional and artisanal design. White shaker cabinetry and Caesarstone countertops are set against a striking hand-painted, ceramic tile backsplash contrasted by rich terracotta floor tiles accented with colorful geometric inlays. The result is timeless yet unexpected, paired beautifully with a deep farmhouse sink, elegant glass-front cabients and stainless-steel Bosch and GE appliances .

The bedroom suite offers rare privacy and comfort, featuring a walk-in closet and a windowed en-suite bath. The bathroom is an extension of the home's refined artistry, clad in elegantly patterned tiles that wrap the walls and floor in a modern monochrome motif. A floating vanity, medicine cabinet, custom lighting, and clean chrome fixtures complete the space with spa-like sensibility.

Built in 1924, The Nancy Lincoln is a boutique 46-unit co-op celebrated for its handsome brick facade and marble lobby. Amenities include a landscaped courtyard, resident superintendent, laundry room, private storage, and bicycle room. Pets are welcome, and subletting is permitted after two years of ownership.

Located just two blocks from Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza, the home sits at the nexus of culture and calm, near the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, and an exceptional dining scene that includes Leland, Cafe Mado, Ogliastro, Little Egg, and Ciao Gloria. The 2/3 and 4/5 trains at Eastern Parkway and the B/Q at Seventh Avenue offer effortless access to the rest of the city.

With its striking blend of period details and considered modern design, 400 Lincoln Place , Unit 3I captures everything that makes Brooklyn living feel both timeless and alive - a Prospect Heights classic reimagined for contemporary living.

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.
