With sweeping views and period details, this prewar apartment is quite grand, and has a price to match. In 35 Prospect Park West, designed by eminent architect Emery Roth, this upper floor unit has three large bedrooms, original Art Deco baths in glistening condition, a laundry room, and plenty of space for entertaining.
When it was launched in 1929, the building was envisioned as a semi-cooperative with “sumptuous accommodations” for buyers and renters, as the builders boasted to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Details designed to lure people to the building, which overlooks Prospect Park, included a chauffeur waiting room, duplex and simplex apartments of five to 12 rooms and three to five bathrooms apiece, and wood burning fireplaces and soundproofing, according to an early brochure. An eight-room unit that sold in 1929 went for $26,500 with a maintenance of $170 per month and, the realtor predicted, a rental value of $6,000 a year if the purchasers chose to go that route.
This unit is on the 14th floor of the 18-story, 70-unit co-op. Like others in the building, it opens into a grand foyer that has plenty of room for art and even seating. The white walls and trim set the tone for the rest of the unit, while the wood floors in most of the other rooms have been changed out for black marble here.
Near the entrance is the living room, with a wood burning fireplace with white-painted mantel, two windows with tree-top views, and the wood floor with in-laid border. Those floors are repeated in the large dining room, which is on the other end of the foyer with a different exposure.
The dining room has access to a small service hallway and the two former maid’s rooms, repurposed as an office and a laundry room with a half-bath in between. Adjoining those is the kitchen with a black and white tile floor, period subway tile on the walls, and slab-front cabinetry with glass-doored uppers.
The primary bedroom has two closets and an en suite bath, which still has its Deco style intact. A review of the completed building in 1929 described “breathtaking bathrooms” with touches of pink, mauve, and green. This one has walls and floors in green tile with pink fixtures while the jack-and-jill bath joining the other two bedrooms sports mauve and pink tiles and green fixtures.
Both of those additional bedrooms have closet space; the apartment has a total of eight closets. The floor plan also indicates that additional storage space is included in the building.
Maintenance for the unit is a whopping $5,016 a month. The building has a 24-hour doorman, multiple elevators, and bike storage. Cats, but not dogs, are allowed in the building.
Jackie Torren and Charlie Pigott of Corcoran have the listing and it is priced at $3.25 million. What do you think?
