About this House

Welcome to 640 Prospect Place – a rare opportunity to own a stunning single family townhouse in the heart of Crown Heights.

Originally built in 1901, this elegant townhouse sits on a tree-lined block in the heart of Crown Heights. Spanning three stories plus a finished cellar, the home offers a perfect balance of preserved historic detail and modern comfort, creating an inviting space for today’s homeowner.

The parlor level welcomes you through original double doors into a gracious living room adorned with soaring ceilings, ornate crown moldings, and a decorative fireplace that speaks to the home’s historic charm. Flowing seamlessly from the living space, the formal dining area is ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. At the rear, a thoughtfully renovated kitchen features integrated appliances, custom cabinetry, and generous marble counter space. A glass door opens to a private deck that overlooks the lush, extra-deep backyard—perfect for summer dining, play, or quiet retreat.

Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, each offering its own character and flexibility. The primary bedroom overlooks the garden and is bathed in natural light, with ample closet space and an ensuite bathroom. Additional bedrooms provide room for family, guests, or a home office, and are complemented by a full bathroom with artistic stylish design.

The garden floor offers an inviting extension of the home, with one bedroom, complete with a wet bar, comfortable living area, and direct access to the backyard. This level is perfect for casual entertaining, a media room, or a private guest suite.

The finished cellar offers a versatile space that can function as a recreation room, home gym, or office. With its tall ceilings, powder room, and storage, it adds comfort and convenience to the home’s layout.

Located on Prospect Place, the home is surrounded by the neighborhood’s best dining, cafés, and cultural attractions. Local favorites such as Mayfield, RAS Plant based and Chavela’s are just moments away, and Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Botanic Garden are within easy reach. The 2, 3, 4, 5 and S trains at Franklin Avenue provide a quick commute to Manhattan and beyond.

640 Prospect Place offers the rare opportunity to own a historic Brooklyn townhouse that combines timeless architectural detail, modern updates, and a flexible layout—an ideal setting for refined living in one of Brooklyn’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

    "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."
