Southwest facing and drenched in natural light, this cheerful home offers beautiful sunsets and even distant views stretching all the way to Coney Island. From golden afternoon light to glowing evening skies, this is the kind of apartment that simply feels good to come home to.
This smart L shaped layout practically begged for a flex space, and the result is a charming second bedroom/home office tucked behind lovely French doors with a glass topped transom that allows light to beautifully flow throughout the apartment. The second bedroom is large enough to accommodate a queen sized bed while still functioning beautifully as a guest room, nursery, or home office.
Nestled on a quiet tree lined street just moments from Prospect Park sits the beloved Park Vanderbilt co-op, one of Windsor Terrace's most coveted buildings. The elevator building offers the kind of community feel people move here for and rarely leave behind.
The beautifully manicured communal courtyard has room to lounge, play, and pretend you are finally going to become someone who gardens thanks to the designated planter boxes for residents.
Additional amenities include laundry, package room, bike storage, and parking garage waitlist.
Perched high on the 5th floor, this corner apartment sits at the end of the corridor for those who value peace, quiet, and not hearing every neighbor's dinner conversation.
The galley kitchen has been renovated, the bathroom has been upgraded, and the original wood floors are beautifully maintained. Both bedrooms sit on either side of a generously sized living and dining area, creating a layout that feels both functional and inviting.
This pristine, pet friendly building checks all the boxes: strong financials, low carrying costs, beautifully maintained interiors and grounds, and 100% owner occupancy (currently no subletting permitted).
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.
