House of the Day: 202 Prospect Place
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.

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.

House Listing #6141 [Warren Lewis]
I don’t think a buyer has to be super rich to buy a 2 million dollar brownstone. Ever hear of mortgages?
“Now, about that asking price of $2,495,000. They’re definitely not giving it away…”
LOL
Prospect between Carlton and Vanderbilt is the nicest block of PH, imho. Amazing street trees, contiguous architecture, block from the Q/B. I live one block east on Prospect. The 131 ft lots are far larger than anything in the slope, and this is also a south garden (and very nicely landscaped). You could maybe get 2200 for the garden apt (depending how much of the garden you were willing to share). The main drawback (besides public schools)is that this house is really shallow. I see about 35 feet deep on the floorplan, which would give total sf of 2880, and a ppsf of $865. That doesn’t jive with the comps, which are about $675 psf. I’d say 2M max. Of course, a shallow house gives you more space for the koi pond and whatnot.
How do you possibly think that “21′ four story, two family brick townhouse (owners’ triplex ) on a 131′ lot” equates to a “middle-class family home” ?
i used to live a few doors down and this block is awesome. if i hadn’t been living with a crazy landlord, i would’ve totally stayed. i remember the house next door being sold for $1.7m when i moved in (about two yrs ago). no idea what condition it was in or the exact comps, but crazy. looks gorgeous though.
If this is a middle class Brooklyn home, what would you consider an upper class Brooklyn home??
Just because you can’t afford it, does not make it middle class.
While these may have once been middle class homes, Brownstones….both in Manhattan and in Brooklyn are most certainly considered for the upper class.
If you want a middle class home, there are many to be had. And yes, in Prospect Heights.
Your idea of entitlement it what’s screwed up….not Brooklyn.
Nice looking house. Kitchen and bathroom are blah, but could be improved a bit by replacing all the hideous gold hardware. You could probably get this price if the house were on the PS side of Flatbush but I’m not so sure about it here.
Another very nice, middle-class family home available only to the super rich.
Sigh…
Brooklyn is screwed up.
What a lush garden, an oasis. Gorgeous parlor. I love the patterned tile backsplash in the kitchen. I’d wanted patterned/painted tile backsplash myself originally, then rejected it, now I want it again!
