Why it’s so popular
Step into Residence 5C along Brooklyn’s Eastern Parkway and you’ll immediately notice its vast, sun-soaked open spaces. The building dates back to 1926, so there’s plenty of historic details in place. This Prospect Heights 2-bedroom abode is also situated directly across from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and from the Brooklyn Museum, making it prime real estate.
A large foyer connects to the spacious living room, where a pair of oversized windows flood the space with natural light and ceilings reach nearly 10 feet high. Inlaid wood floors, beamed ceilings, and plaster walls are also on hand. The windowed kitchen received a modern upgrade that ushered in stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, an abundance of cabinetry, and an in-unit washer/dryer.
