onefinestay, A Licensed Real Estate Broker is proud to add Prospect Park to our NYC collection. Prospect Park is the epitome of New York chic. Located in the ever-hip borough of Brooklyn, it's a home that has been tastefully and eclectically decorated by its owner, an associate history professor at NYU. The owner’s love of the past, especially social history, can be seen through contemporary photography and artworks covering every wall of this four-bedroom townhouse.

Glimpses of the building’s heritage can be seen in the exposed brick walls and the classic double doors leading to the main living area. Period wash basins in the bathroom and wood panelling have been masterfully combined with on-trend furnishings and personal touches. This is a townhouse where you shouldn’t be surprised to glimpse a hammock nestled away in an alcove or clawfoot soak tubs next to rainfall showers.

Prospect Park also has that rarest of Brooklyn extras – its own external space. A charming private garden terrace allows you to experience the sounds of the city from the privacy of your own bijou garden, creating a soundscape that is pure ‘New York’. However, as the sun goes down, this little terrace filled with beautifully maintained mature plants becomes a green oasis where guests can sip a glass of wine before heading out to sample the delights of Brooklyn’s restaurants, theatres and bars.

Inside, peace and serenity are emphasised with neutral palettes that offset the bespoke artwork and sculptural lighting. The kitchen is a complete surprise: strongly rustic, with a fabulous double butler's sink and a large butcher's block alongside a state-of-the-art range and exposed brick walls. The dining area is rich and intimate, complete with a striking red chandelier over the heavy wooden table and chairs.

The bedrooms contain countless more examples of the owner’s exceptional eye for detail. Modern artwork sits alongside tribal sculptures, giving each of the four bedrooms a boutique feel. The bathrooms are elegant yet simple, inviting and soothing. A private office makes this home ideal for someone who wants to be in the heart of the action yet needs a quiet space to work from home. Alternatively, it makes an ideal base for a group wanting to be just a short distance away from the bright lights of 5th Avenue or the open spaces of Prospect Park. This family home gives you the chance to experience life in one of Brooklyn’s most desirable spots with absolutely no compromise on elegance or sophistication.
