House of the Day: 161 Prospect Park Southwest
This single-family house at 161 Prospect Park Southwest in Windsor Terrace just hit the market asking $998,000. The house is not huge—three stories, 20-by-32-foot floorplate—but we suspect the chance to live on the park for under a million bucks will generate some interest.

Yes, I walk through the park to the Q train (Prospect Park stop) IT’s about 15 minutes through the park, which is a great way to start the day.
The walk from this house to the Parkside Q train is the same distance (0.7 miles) as walking from the 5th street COOP to GAP 2 station and shorter than walking to the 7th avenue Q train.
House if very sweet and looks priced to sell.
I guess its not far from the subway afterall. That won’t make the ride on the F train any better though. 🙂
you can’t beat the real estate taxes, very low.
Why does it have a blank sidewall? was the corner house demolished? Since it is not a landmark area you could build a cool penthouse/conservatory. It has possibilities. Why only two bedrooms? Is there only one bedroom on the second floor and one in the garden level? A floorplan would help.
DIBS,
People in the neighborhood know where the subway is. I know this block and used to take my kids every morning to the subway stop on this side of the xway. Regardless of whether GMAP shows it, you can walk in to the subway at the front end of the (manhattan bound) platform at Reeve Pl, by the crossroads cafe. 1 long + 1 short block, a very short walk from this house.
Not too much to quarrel about with this house at this price. Should sell close to ask.
smatlantic is right – the Ft Hamilton stop has lots of exits and there is one 1.5 blocks away at Reeve and Prospect. And it drops you right by the train, no long tunnel or anything. I live around the corner from this house and take the train every day.
