323 Park Place

Park Place between Vanderbilt and Underhill, in Prospect Heights, has long been coveted for its charming brownstones, mature magnolia trees and spectacularly deep back gardens. No. 323, center of the block, is a three-story home with abundant original detail, including much of the woodwork and fireplaces intact. The parlor floor has an open plan where light streams unimpeded from front to back... a front-facing living room, an ample dining area, and a farm-style kitchen with ceiling-high glass and wood cabinets, center fan, island, bar sink and garden-facing windows and door. A powder room is tucked away but so convenient! Upstairs, the primary bedroom is flooded with light, has an en-suite bath outfitted with a clawfoot tub and full laundry. The other two bedrooms -- one larger, one smaller -- share the center bath with step-in shower. The garden level, a perfect guest or in-law suite, is also fashioned in open plan: front living room, center kitchen, rear bedroom with an additional side bedroom or study. Brass sconces and schoolhouse pendants beautifully illuminate the house. The rear garden with pergola, seating area and plantings is the crowning glory: over 80-feet deep, it holds endless possibilities for gardening, entertaining, playing -- or just relaxing. Nearby Vanderbilt Avenue offers the best in food: Mermaid's Garden, Olmstead, Faun, White Tiger, R+D Foods, Fermented Grapes, Milk Bar, Foodtown...and so much more to explore and savor! With the playground at PS 9 and Prospect Park only blocks away, the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors is practically limitless. Don't forgo a chance to bring this wonderful house to its full glory! Showings begin Saturday, April 10. Floor plan coming!
