For lovers of Prospect Park, this Windsor Terrace co-op has some tree-filled views and is located across the street from the iconic park. The two-bedroom apartment is on the second floor of 185 Prospect Park Southwest, a 1960s era building. The unit still has a few details from the period as well as a generous amount of closet space and a private terrace from which to enjoy a glimpse of the greenery.
The pale brick six-story, 58-unit building was competed by 1962 and an early brochure boasted of āsumptuous livingā with āoutstanding appointments.ā Architectural firm Lama, Proskauer, Prober was behind the design and the building was dubbed the Lakeview Apartments. Perks in the building included free air conditioning, spacious closets, Formica tabletops in kitchens, and dishwashers in the larger apartments.
This unit retains its original layout as seen in the brochure and is a true two-bedroom rather than the result of a later reno to carve out more sleeping space.
There is a foyer large enough to serve as a dining room, a spacious living room, a kitchen with a dining nook, and the two bedrooms. One bathroom, with a shower, is en suite to the largest bedroom. Both bathrooms have some mid-century tile, one with blue and the other gray.
Finishes, other than some of that original tile work, are largely neutral throughout, and there are wood floors in many of the rooms.
The living room has a view across Prospect Park Southwest and into the park as well as a door to the unit’s terrace.
As noted, the foyer is large enough for a dining setup, as seen in the listing photos, but there is also a dining nook off the kitchen. The kitchen has some ’70s flair with tile countertop and backsplash with bas-relief accents and tile-like brown floral linoleum. The windowed space includes wood cabinets and a dishwasher.
The largest bedroom has a walk-in closet in addition to that en suite bath. It is one of six closets in the unit.
The elevator building has a shared garden, a laundry room, bike and private storage, a live-in super, and a porter. There is on-site parking for an extra fee, but there is a waitlist. Maintenance for this unit is $1,647 a month.
Compass’ Joe Ryan has the listing and the unit is priced at $1.15 million. What do you think?
