About this House

Where Timeless Charm Meets Modern Ease.
Set on a picturesque, tree-lined block surrounded by turn-of-the-century limestone, brownstone, and stately low-rise buildings, 481 Prospect Place, Unit 1B is a rare duplex retreat offering both space and tranquility. This chic residence is part of an intimate 8-unit condo, spanning just four stories with only two homes per floor, creating a private and peaceful way of life that is hard to find in the city.

This sprawling 1,395 SF duplex was designed for effortless living with versatility at its core. The open-concept living space flows seamlessly into the kitchen, making entertaining a breeze. For those looking to customize, there's room to install an island, creating an eat-in kitchen and additional prep space. The home features two well-proportioned bedrooms, one with an ensuite bath, and generous closet space. The highlight? A spiral staircase leading to the lower level, where you double your footprint with a spacious recreation room, guest quarters, home office, or personal retreat-complete with a half bath and walk-in closet. An in-building washer/dryer adds to the ease of daily life. And when you need a moment of peace, step outside to the common landscaped rear yard, a lush green escape designed for relaxation.

Perfectly positioned between Classon and Grand, this home is just moments from the best of Franklin, Vanderbilt, and Washington Avenues, where top-tier dining, boutique shopping, and local favorites define the neighborhood's vibrant energy. Brooklyn's most iconic landmarks-Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanical Garden, and Barclays Center-are all within reach. With multiple train and bus lines nearby, commuting is effortless. 481 Prospect Place, Unit 1B is where space, privacy, and prime location come together in one exceptional home. Find Your Sweet Spot.

    "This area is now called crown heights. We are located on the other side of Eastern Pkwy. Atlantic ave is a border. We are up the hill. Not a dangerous neighborhood but people will litter all over your property. Dog litter everywhere. Trash from corner bodegas everywhere. I hate that about this community. "

    "There are lots of dog parks both official and unofficial, where you can have your dog off leash before 9am or after 9pm. It's important to understand that it's not ok to let your dog pee or poop on sidewalk trees. Homeowners here take a lot of pride in their trees and gardens and letting your dog relieve itself on their property (even if you clean it up) is considered deeply disrespectful."
