Our book-filled apartment is on the ground floor of a 6-floor building in the heart of Prospect Heights; it is quiet and has a large, lovely, private backyard with a wood deck, planters, outdoor furniture, and a gas grill. It is 2 blocks from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden; with dozens of cafes, restaurants, bakeries, markets and shops a short walk away on Vanderbilt Avenue. Four major subway lines to Manhattan are less than a 10-minute walk from our apartment.

Our 1,100 sq. foot apartment is well-maintained and comfortable, with wood floors throughout. We have a large, open living-dining room with windows overlooking our back deck and leafy trees (in summer). The apartment is at the rear of the building, and although it does not get direct sunlight, it is quiet and stays cooler in the summer. We love to cook, and our open kitchen with granite countertops is well stocked with cooking equipment and all manner of spices, oils, teas, and staples which you are welcome to use. The wood dining table can seat up to 6 people. The master bedroom has a queen-size wood Craftsman bed, a desk, and en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom (belonging to our teenage daughter) has a twin bed; there is an extra mattress. Both bathrooms have tubs and a shower. It is a cozy, comfortable apartment with a mix of mid-century and contemporary wood furniture.
