Property Description

Elegant & Expansive Two Family on Leafy Prospect Place, Crown Heights North Historic District

Welcome to 866 Prospect Place, a landmarked 6,000-square-foot (that's only $573 per square foot!) Renaissance Revival limestone built in 1897 by legendary architect George P. Chappell. Situated on an expansive 125-foot-deep lot on arguably one of the neighborhood's most architecturally significant bucolic blocks, this stately four-story, two-family residence offers an ideal configuration: a grand 4-bedroom owner's triplex over an income-generating big 3-bedroom garden-level apartment. The grandness of the house can not be underestimated. For example, one could roller skate on the Parlor floor for a while to get from one end to another. Generous light filters throughout the expansive floors all day long.

The striking limestone facade is adorned with carved floral reliefs, arched transoms and the structure has three polygonal bay windows. Limestones are noted for their durability and for their lovely gray hues.

Inside, the airy, sunny Parlor Floor opens to a sweeping fluted staircase, soaring ceiling height, and a sun-drenched expansive living room featuring grand windows with details that are extraordinarily rare & beautiful. The rear of the Parlor Floor features a contemporary light-filled eat-in kitchen that flows seamlessly onto a private morning deck lush with foliage and full of potential. A regal dining room with vaulted ceilings, pocket doors, brass hardware, and original cabinetry was built for entertaining and is perfectly maintained. Parquet flooring unifies the rooms with inlay bordering.

The upper floors prioritize space and functionality. The third floor offers two generous bedrooms with dedicated en-suite baths, offering the luxury of privacy. The entire fourth floor serves as a dedicated primary sanctuary, boasting a bright & airy bedroom with treetop views, a marble-and-brass bathroom, two bright skylights, and two more versatile rooms - a home office, an art studio? more bedrooms?

The 1,500-square-foot garden rental provides a reliable three-bedroom, one-bathroom floor-through, replete with its own washer/dryer & dishwasher.

The house is set behind a manicured front garden of boxwood & heirloom roses and is situated on one of the prettiest leafy blocks in Brooklyn. The property features updated kitchens and baths, new appliances, the installation of a copper water main from lead (better for brain health!), new hot water heater and furnace systems. There is a basement that houses the mechanicals and has ample space. The basement is both dry and has high ceilings.

866 Prospect Place is a true architectural masterpiece. It has many unique and extraordinarily beautiful features. It is bright, airy, has wonderful flow and magnanimous proportions.

Enjoy unparalleled access to Brower Park, The Children's Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, The Brooklyn Museum, Franklin Avenue & Vanderbilt Avenue vibrant dining scenes, Union Market and Farmers' Markets at both Brower Park and Prospect Park, the 2/3/4/5 on Eastern Parkway, and A express trains.
