Thoughtfully redesigned and upgraded in 2018, including a new kitchen, ductless HVACs, and smart home features for energy efficiency and convenience, this legal two-family used as a one-family can easily be converted back should your future needs change.
Through a foyer large enough for storing shoes and jackets, the living room and open contemporary kitchen (equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a vented hood) welcome you into this expansive home with over 2000 square feet of above grade living space. A middle bedroom, currently used as an office/guest room, has access to an adjacent full bathroom and offers overnight guests privacy from the three additional bedrooms upstairs. The formal dining room in the back overlooks the SOUTH-FACING YARD with patio and is already set up for growing a canopy of fresh herbs and vegetables in the spring.
Up the stairs is an impressive landing, boasting a skylight and enough room for an office, home gym, or library. The primary bedroom receives calming northern light throughout the day and features two closets with custom storage systems and en-suite bathroom with DOUBLE vanity, RADIANT-HEATED floors, and an oversized shower. Two additional bedrooms have access to a third bathroom and the LAUNDRY ROOM is equipped with an external vent for the dryer and a custom built retractable folding station. A second washer and vented dryer can be found in the finished cellar, which offers nearly 500 square feet of additional usable space and includes a WINE REFRIGERATOR to keep your collection safe.
1278 Prospect Place is uniquely situated across from St. Johns Park, dubbed the "athletes haven in the heart of Brooklyn," featuring basketball courts, track and field, and a rec center with indoor SWIMMING. The popular Brooklyn Children's Museum is just a couple of blocks away. This vibrant and diverse Crown Heights community enjoys dining at local hot spots like Bakerie, Boeuf & Bun, Mozzarella, Almah Cafe, Daughter Cafe, and Sweet Expressions. Commuting is easy with the 2, 3, 4, 5 trains on Eastern Parkway and A/C trains on Fulton.
