225 Prospect Place

For the first time in over 50 years, this property is available for sale. It is within the Prospect Heights Historic District and, therefore, is landmarked. The property retains nearly all of its original details. It is truly a gem and one of a set of five-row houses built for original owner and developer Edward Livermore circa 1872. Located between Vanderbilt and Carlton Avenues within easy walking distance to Flatbush & Vanderbilt Avenue's shopping, transport and services. It is also a short walk to Prospect Park, The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. This two family townhouse consists of three floors and a basement. There is forced air heat throughout the house with the possibility (please consult your contractor) to run HVAC throughout existing lines. The basement is semi-finished with a half bathroom. The machine room contains mechanicals that are in good general condition. There is also hook up for a washer dryer and there is a working wash sink. There are separate entrances from the front of the house to the basement and from the basement to the backyard. The basement may have income producing potential as the zoning (C1-4/R7A) may allow for commercial use. The Parlor Floor: Enter from the stoop into the small vestibule between the iron front gate and interior hallway door. The living room is large and bright and has an original fireplace and mantle intact. There is a large kitchen and dining room at the far end of this floor. There is also a bathroom and closet space and access to the back yard. The Second floor contains two large bedrooms one of which is en-suite with walk-in closet. Both bedrooms boast original fireplaces. The Third Floor is currently set up with two large bedrooms with original fireplaces and a kitchen and a bathroom. This floor has the potential to be rented out as a two bedroom apartment. Neighborhood: With proximity to Vanderbilt Ave there are too many restaurants, bars, and services to mention them all. However a sampling includes: Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shop, Ample Hills Creamery, Met Food Supermarket, Joyce Bake Shop, Milk Bar, Maya Taqueria, Zaytoons, Salon 718, One of a Kind Vintage, Fermented Grapes Wine & Spirits, Mermaid Garden Sustainable Seafood.
