Up the beautiful stoop, ideal for sitting to chat with neighbors, is a lovely parlor floor entrance, where you are greeted by prewar charm as soon as you enter the foyer, replete with a prewar built-in pier mirror and coat rack, stunning staircase, dining room door with etched glass, and massive arched opening to the front parlor.
The front parlor features soaring ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling windows, an ornate Italianate marble mantle with an iron summer cover, a modern chandelier, and more than enough space for a formal sitting area and additional music room, as the current owners have done. Through a pair of French doors is the formal dining room, featuring a matching Italianate mantle, floor-to-ceiling window, and room for a massive table for hosting holiday meals.
The eat-in kitchen is in a large extension, with a door to a terrace for al fresco dining and grilling and access to the extra deep garden below. This floor also features a powder room, ideal for entertaining.
Upstairs is the primary suite, with a generous king-sized bedroom, ensuite bath, decorative fireplace, and sliding doors to a primary terrace! Down the hall you'll find two more bedrooms, one utilized as a library with a wood burning fireplace, another as a home office. On the top floor, where a skylight streams in tremendous light, are three more bedrooms, another full bath, and a laundry room.
A 2 bedroom/2 bathroom garden rental is one of the best in town, with a unique layout utilizing the space under the stoop for a light-filled, front-facing kitchen. It features a massive living/dining room, in-unit laundry, and a second bedroom with access to a demarcated yard space.
173 Prospect Pl has been lovingly cared for by its owners, with some key updates made throughout, such as split-unit AC throughout the owners' triplex. It's situated in an ideal location near trains, but removed from the noise. It's on a lovely block between bucolic Carlton and bustling Vanderbilt, with its buzzy Michelin-rated restaurants and enviable Open Streets, and very close to Prospect Park.
