This two-family house on a 131-foot lot at 432 Prospect Place will likely appeal to many in the market: Nice original details, modern kitchen, landscaped backyard. One unusual twist is that the floor-through rental unit is on the top floor as opposed to the bottom, raising unaddressed questions about the need for an internal staircase in the owner’s triplex. As for the asking price of $1,725,000, were it a block or two to the west, it would be a lay-up. Not that neighborhood boundaries are the most important thing when it comes to pricing, but it’ll be interesting to see whether a house that’s technically in Crown Heights can command this kind of number.
