Spacious true two- bedroom in this sun-filled classic brownstone in historic Crown Heights. Enter through your own private entrance up the stoop where the first bedroom is in the front of the house where you can enjoy Brownstone views of tree-lined Prospect Place. There is a room in the middle of the apartment with no window that can be used as an office space and the back bedroom facing the open backyard.

Each of the two king-size bedrooms offer privacy, are of similar size and can accommodate Queen/King-Size beds. There are hardwood floors throughout and the apartment is in MINT condition. UTILITIES ARE INCLUDED. Just get your WIFI and move right in.
The location is exceptional, steps from Brower Park, minutes to Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Children's Museum. Take the 3 train or walk to the C or A train at Nostrand Avenue for a fast commute to the city.
Prospect Place is a very unique block in that it was part of a pilot program to create a 'superblock.' Designed by I.M. Pei, the renovations to the street, which remain largely intact today, represent urban planning at its best. The widened sidewalks with attractive square pavers, new trees, and the installation of round concrete planters that double as benches create a park-like block that encouraged neighbors to congregate with each other outside. They made access to the block limited and put in place a street bed as a traffic-calming measure.
Prospect Place was chosen because it was intact, beautiful, somewhat isolated and, most importantly, filled with strong and proud community-minded homeowners. Shirley Chisholm, the first African-American woman elected to the United States Congress, was one of them!
