Description
Set on a tree-lined, tranquil street in the heart of Prospect Heights, 181 Prospect Place is a beautiful, 20'wide, 5-bedroom townhome on an extra-deep 131' lot. This spacious townhome is currently used as a lovely single-family home. A three-story partial extension provides incredible flexibility for this one of a kind, luxurious home. Behind the gracious and private forecourt is a grand stoop entry that leads to the parlor floor, which features a formal sitting room in the front with preserved period details, lovely natural light, and fantastic ceiling heights. The primary suite is in the rear parlor, overlooking the garden and enormous trees of adjacent homes. The primary suite has a luxurious en suite bath, as well as a gorgeous, custom-built walk-through closet. The garden floor Is outfitted with a fantastic open layout, seamlessly connecting the living, kitchen, and dining areas. The rear living room looks through a window wall at the extra deep, lush green garden. A whimsical garden pathway leads through the trees to a private seating area in the back, a true oasis in the heart of Brownstone Brooklyn. An enormous, suburban-like laundry room sits next to the glass window wall, in the extension. The chef's kitchen features an island, luxurious appliances, and bountiful cabinet and pantry space. And the front of the floor houses a gracious dining room, with room for a 12 seat table overlooking the bucolic townhouses of Prospect Place. Above on the third floor are two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and laundry. And on the top floor lies an art gallery, two bedrooms, and another full bathroom. 181 Prospect Place is only steps from the best restaurants Prospect Heights has to offer and is conveniently located near public transit. Manhattan is a quick subway or car ride away, but it's hard to leave behind some of the best retail and restaurants that Brooklyn has to offer. Prospect Heights is one of Brooklyn's most coveted neighborhoods and stunning homes like 181 Prospect are rarely available.
