Property Description for 679 Vanderbilt Ave, 2-R
Welcome to 679 Vanderbilt Avenue #2R, a gracious and beautifully proportioned two-bedroom home in the heart of Prospect Heights. With soaring ceilings, oversized rooms, a working wood-burning fireplace, in-unit laundry, and abundant storage, this special co-op offers the kind of space and character that is hard to find.
At the front of the apartment, the expansive living room is flooded with natural light all day long through two oversized west-facing windows and two side windows providing northern and southern light. A working wood-burning fireplace with an ornate wood mantel serves as the focal point of the room, while the generous proportions easily accommodate multiple seating areas without ever feeling crowded.
Beyond the living room is large separate dining room- cabinetry stretches nearly the length of the room, providing exceptional storage while creating a clean, streamlined look.
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and stainless-steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and range. Tucked conveniently within the apartment is a stacked washer and dryer.
Privately situated away from the main living spaces, the two bedrooms are both generously sized. The primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed while still offering ample room for a home office. The second bedroom is equally versatile and well-proportioned. The renovated bathroom features timeless finishes, a marble-topped vanity, and excellent storage.
Throughout the home you'll find beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings, oversized windows, and great room proportions.
Additional amenities include a large storage area in the basement and convenient hooks for strollers on the first floor.
Situated on one of Prospect Heights' most beloved avenues, 679 Vanderbilt Avenue places you moments from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Grand Army Plaza, and the neighborhood's celebrated restaurants, cafés, and shops. With easy access to multiple subway lines and some of Brooklyn's most treasured destinations, the location is every bit as compelling as the home itself.

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.
