221 Prospect Place — A Beautifully Updated Two-Family Modern Townhome in Prime Prospect Heights
Perfectly positioned on one of historic Prospect Heights’ most desirable tree-lined blocks, 221 Prospect Place is a thoughtfully updated, well-designed, and charming two-family modern townhouse. The owner’s triplex offers four bedrooms, a windowed home office, two full and two half bathrooms, and a fantastic upper-level recreation space with two skylights.
The parlor floor features an updated kitchen with a generous center island and a long wall of custom zebrawood cabinetry providing abundant storage. A south-facing, windowed dining area fills the home with natural light and warmth. This level also includes a powder room and a spacious home office/library with custom built-ins and two windows overlooking the home’s quaint private bluestone garden.
The expansive living room spans the full width of the home, boasting three south-facing windows and a cozy wood-burning fireplace.
The primary suite comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed and features a beautifully updated en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub, a separate glass-enclosed spa/steam shower, and a large custom walk-in closet.
The top floor offers three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a versatile recreation space.
The flexible two-family configuration allows for use as an owner’s triplex with an income-producing one-bedroom garden apartment with a dishwasher, washer/dryer and chef’s stove or as a spacious single-family residence. The garden apartment will be delivered vacant.
The house has been completely rebuilt with all new steel floor joists, aluminum staircase railings, radiant floor heating throughout all 4 floors, central AC, and a stone wall in the parlor floor leading up to the fireplace mantel in the living room and extends to the top floor under the large skylight.
Located just moments from Prospect Park, Vanderbilt Avenue, and the neighborhood’s beloved cafés, restaurants, and boutiques, 221 Prospect Place captures the essence of Brooklyn living—style, space, and an unbeatable location in one of the borough’s most vibrant communities.

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.
