Property Description for 61 Eastern Parkway, 5-G

SPONSOR SALE - no Board Approval required for purchase.

Available for the first time, residence 5G has been fully renovated from top to bottom. There is recessed lighting and brand-new oak flooring throughout. The oversized east facing windows flood the space with light and 9' ceilings ensure every ray comes into the apartment.

The first impression upon entering the space is of the open kitchen and living room. A blank canvas for your personal aesthetic. The kitchen has been outfitted with brand-new stainless-steel appliances including dishwasher, microwave and gas range. Cabinets and counter tops await their first use and the over-sized window next to the stove makes cooking a sublime experience.

Deeper into the apartment, the bathroom sits opposite a linen closet and boasts newly glazed tub, white subway tiles, vanity and medicine cabinet. Finally, the bedroom can fit a king-sized bed with room for furniture and it's closet is tucked into the corner sparing precious wall space for decorations and furnishing.

The Abraham Lincoln is a pet-friendly elevator coop with doorman and live-in super. The marble lobby is an Art Deco gem and the landscaped central courtyard provides a quiet respite away from the rush of city living. There is private storage, bike storage and shared laundry in the basement and the building offers internet via a T1 line for $35/month.

Across the street, Mount Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Library, Botanic Gardens and the Brooklyn Museum all shine in a row along Eastern Parkway. Just beyond, Grand Army Plaza plays host to a beautiful Saturday Farmers Market and welcomes guests into the heart of Brooklyn: Prospect Park.

There is a grocery store, bakery, and coffee around the corner on Underhill as well as restaurants and more on Vanderbilt and Washington. The 2/3 train is just up the street and the B/Q trains are a little farther down on Flatbush. Atlantic Barclays is nearby and offers an array of subways into Manhattan (and beyond) as well as the LIRR to get out of town.

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.
