The landmarked Prospect Park South neighborhood was developed between 1898 and 1920, consisting of 206 freestanding homes, many of which were designed by noteworthy architects. Among them, William Van Allen, architect of the Chrysler building, and Arthur Loomis Harmon, the design partner of the Empire State Building. The development attracted prominent people in business, finance and society, who were lured by the peace and quiet of the 'suburbs'. Today, people in the arts, entertainment and politics have rediscovered this utterly unique enclave and, just like the original owners, they enjoy the private, comfortable lifestyle afforded by these 'estates-in-the-city'.

Just two blocks from Prospect Park's endless charms and the eclectic shopping and dining
options lining Cortelyou Road, this extraordinary estate is a resplendent urban oasis offering
you the chance to experience a coveted piece of Brooklyn history.
