There will likely be no shortage of people who fall in love with this four-story, two-family house at 202 Prospect Place in Prospect Heights. (It’s a co-exclusive with BHS and Warren Lewis doing the honors.) The same owner’s been here for the past two decades and, from the two interior photos provided, done a wonderful job of restoring and maintaining the original details and vibe of the place. The scale is nice too: A 21-footer on one of those sweet 131-foot-deep lots that Prospect Heights is known for. Now, about that asking price of $2,495,000. They’re definitely not giving it away—this would have to be close to a record for the neighborhood. Then again, it’s also probably one of the nicest houses on one of the best blocks. Hard to say, but it can’t be off by more than 10 percent, even in this less bubblicious environment. There’s an open house on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

  1. I agree, all annoying brokers, high on crack.
    pretending that these houses, where poor-ass families have lived for generations, are not for the mere middle class. No no, they are for the finest elements of society, the people whose refinement and taste lead them directly to the immaculate streets of fair Brooklyn. The Borough where corrruption is unknown and real estate has always been in the hands of gentlemen of good breeding who would not deign to recogniize the mere bourgeoisie, Non! This is Brooklyn, the Palm Beach of the north -sil vous plait.

  2. This house was on the Prospect Heights House Tour in 2004. It’s very pretty — though not cutting edge in terms of the style/quality of the renovation. The location is terrific: close to shops, subways, the park, only 15 minute walk to BAM, strong block assoc etc. I live on St Marks but this is a nicer block. With any luck, we’ll have residents parking permits in place before the arena arrives.

  3. As for the location and proximity to Flatbush, this block is not busy at all. It’s very quiet. I don’t think construction at AY will cause congestion. It is possible, however, that once the arena is build that people who drive in may try to park on the block and walk to the arena.

  4. Wow–this gets off track really quickly! Can we bring up the location? Isn’t it really busy that close to Flatbush? And of course you’ll have to deal with at least a little bit of the construction congestion from AY. Seems a bit overpriced taking into account those two factors. Other than that, it is beautiful, although I personally prefer the brownstone facade to brick.
