Welcome to your serene Brooklyn haven.

This lovingly cared-for 1 Bed / 1 Bath garden apartment at 317 Prospect Avenue is nestled in the heart of South Slope, one of the borough’s most vibrant and charming neighborhoods. With sunlight streaming through both north- and south-facing windows, the space feels airy, bright, and deeply welcoming from morning to night.

Step through a cozy mudroom/foyer into a thoughtfully designed open floor plan. The living room and kitchen easily accommodate both a dining table and lounge area—perfect for hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening in. The kitchen features updated cabinetry, a dishwasher, generous counter space, and a layout that works beautifully with a countertop oven or air fryer (previous tenants swore by it!). Note: there is no full stove.

The bedroom is tucked behind elegant French doors and includes two large, movable closets, offering flexible storage options and a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The bathroom features a full tub, a newly refreshed tile surround, and a simple, clean aesthetic.

Out back, your own private covered patio awaits—with space for a grill and outdoor furniture—plus access to a shared backyard that stretches into a green oasis. It’s the perfect spot for coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at sunset.

Just five blocks from Prospect Park, and surrounded by some of the best coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants South Slope has to offer, this apartment is a rare blend of urban accessibility and tranquil living.

Small pet? One may be considered with landlord approval.

This apartment truly is a gem—and it won’t last long. Make it yours.

About This Lister

I'm a professor of architecture and just accepted a new position upstate, which means I’ll need to be based there full-time for at least the next year. So—my heartbreak is your opportunity!

Take over my amazing apartment and make it your own. It’s truly a gem: full of light, great energy, and nestled in what I honestly believe is the best neighborhood in the city. I’ve poured so much love into this space and will miss it (and the community) desperately.

If you’re looking for a place that feels like home from day one, this is it.
