Description

Apartment 4 at 279 Prospect Place is a fully renovated floor-through two bedroom home with private deeded outdoor space. Facing the street with a lovely tree-lined exposure, the square living room has exposed brick, a wood-burning fireplace and separate dining area with built-in seating that functions as additional storage. The open kitchen has all new appliances, backsplash, cabinets, and ample quartz counter space overlooking the living area. The two bedrooms are located in the back of the apartment. Both are extremely quiet, with new windows just installed, and have blue sky exposures. The master bedroom has a charming decorative fireplace and can easily accommodate any size bed. The bathroom has also been renovated. Split air-conditioning units have been installed in the living room and both bedrooms, and there is a vented washer and dryer in the apartment. A flight of stairs leads to the fully outfitted outdoor space with tree-top exposures on one side and city views on the other. The full renovation of this roof deck is underway and is set to be completed within the next few weeks (already approved by DOB and Landmarks) and is fully paid for. Apartments 3 and 4 each have their own large individual deeded space on the roof, but have decided to keep the expansive 28'4" length space entirely open to enjoy together. Plumbing and lights have also been added. Please ask to see the approved architect plans for exact dimensions.

279 Prospect Place is a superbly maintained four unit self-managed coop on a tree-lined and Landmark protected block in the heart of Prospect Heights. Resident shareholders have completed several building upgrades in the past three years, including a new roof, plumbing in the basement, apartment buzzers, as well as renovating the interior stairway and installing removable railings. The exterior facade has also been cleaned and re-grouted. All apartments have deeded outdoor space and additional storage space in the basement. 279 Prospect Place is in close proximity to the B/Q and 2/3 Subways, Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park, and Brooklyn Museum. Underhill Playground sits at the end of the block, and the apartment is nearby outdoor dining on Vanderbilt and Washington. Cats and dogs permitted on a case by case basis.
