The Living Room is expansive and enjoys wonderful natural light throughout the day courtesy of its southeast exposure. The room's arch doorway, high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and crown molding create an inviting ambiance.
The spacious Primary Bedroom is a tranquil retreat with its two large windows that bathe the room in natural light and offer stunning sunset views. Talk about dream closets! There's a custom floor to ceiling double closet and another deep closet as well. There are 3 additional large closets in the hallway including a cedar closet.
The sunny Secondary Bedroom currently set up as a teen retreat is large enough to accommodate a full-size bed and study set, and the Guest Room is perfect for hosting visitors or as an alternate home office. Both rooms feature such charming detail as original molding, hard wood floors, and high ceilings. All 3 rooms have incredible expansive western views that include the twinkling lights of the Verrazano Bridge.
Originally designed as a 2 bedroom, this apartment has been converted into a 3 bedroom (see floorplans and virtually staged photos) and can easily be restored to its original layout without requiring any structural work. The unique size and layout of this apartment offer flexibility, only limited by your imagination.
The bathroom has been thoughtfully renovated, the use of black and white tiles, the updated shower closet and deep soaking tub are a nod to the past. Yet the modern fixtures marry the style of the 1920's with the luxury of 2026.

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.
