This is a rare opportunity to live in the heart of one of Brooklyn’s most magical neighborhoods on one of the most gorgeous streets in NYC—Albemarle Road in Prospect Park/ Victorian Flatbush.
My spacious, pre-war 1-bedroom apartment inside a well-kept, quiet apartment is located inside one of the only apartment buildings on this tree-lined median surrounded by historic Victorian mansions. Prospect Park is just a short walk away, just 1 -2 blocks away from two subway stations, near cafes and restaurants on Church Ave & Cortelyou- It doesn’t feel like typical city living, even though you’re still fully in Brooklyn.
I lived in this apartment for over 15 years, and it’s one of the calmest most peaceful places to live in Brooklyn. The park-like atmosphere feels worlds away from the city—while still being fully in it.

✨ The Neighborhood — Prospect Park South- Victorian Flatbush
This location is what makes the apartment truly special.
