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.

161 Prospect Park Southwest [Broooklyn Real] GMAP P*Shark
smatlantic…if you’re serious I’d make sure I did the walk to that stop on the other side of the Ezpressway before you put a bid in on the house. Where you are saying doesn’t show up on GMAP and all the other stops do.
by the way… I love how “brooklyn real” has such an irreverent website. I feel so unrepressed looking at the listings. It really speaks to my creative professional sensibilities.
the Fort Hamilton Pkway train station is a block & a half away on Prospect Avenue / Reeve.
ick it looks like a giant pat of butter. pass!
*rob*
I think the entrance to the subway is only a block or so.
It does look like its quite a long walk to that awful F train. Is this block landmarked? Could you put one or two nice windows on the side for a view of the park.
Wow!
smatlantic is right on.
Take a look at google maps. Its shaped like a funnel.
Thats why there’s no floor plans.
Hey, it has a ‘work-in kitchen’. I’ll take two…
I’m not gonna argue this point too much… but PPW and 5th Street is pretty far from the Grand Army Plaza 2/3 train and even further from the Q. That’s pretty much an F-train house too.
No doubt the buildings on that block are “grander” — but it’s the same park and you’re getting a whole house, not an apartment. You do lose a doorman I suppose, but I never really liked the idea of those guys being all up in my shiznit…. and the scene of a yellow cab being basically “abandoned” by some skinny blond chick with the doors left open for her doorman to gather her things is disgusting to me.
Wait… where did that doorman/decadent behavior rant come from?
Anyway. This house is definitely in WT and it’s not as “nice” but they are both on big busy streets, slightly removed from all of the “stuff.” That’s the only comparison I wanted to make.
