Windsor Terrace Prewar With Three Bedrooms, Wood Floors Asks $1.1 Million

Across from Prospect Park, this Windsor Terrace co-op offers a fair amount of space in exchange for a walk up to the fourth floor. Located at 250 Seeley Street, the top-floor unit has three bedrooms, including one with two exposures.

Known as the Park View when it was completed, the building has an entrance on Seeley Street, but wraps around Prospect Park Southwest to meet two more buildings sporting the same pale brick and Classical details. Plans for all three were filed in 1913 by William M. Calder. A U.S. senator and prolific builder, Calder put up so many one- and two-family homes in Windsor Terrace that the neighborhood, a “happy, thriving community of homeowners,” according to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in 1912, was known as Calderville. For these multi-family buildings, he turned to the Cohn Brothers, architects who were in the early stage of their careers in apartment house design. Ads for the Park View in 1915 promised apartments with hardwood trim and electric lights for $30 to $50 a month.

This unit has a long hallway stretching from the entrance to the living room in the middle of the unit. One of the three bedrooms is near the entry while the remaining two are at the other end of the apartment. There are wood floors throughout the main rooms. While many of the walls and finishes are white or beige, there is a pop of color in that long hallway, with bright yellow pendants suspended from a dark ceiling.

Old listing photos show the space has had a few renovations, including opening the kitchen up to the living room. The kitchen cabinets got a coat of white paint, the counters were updated, and a dishwasher was installed. The beige tile backsplash and floor remain.

Of the two bedrooms off the living room, the smaller has two exposures while the larger has modern built-in cabinetry, including a closet. The bedroom near the entrance to the unit doesn’t have a closet, but there is one next to the nearby bathroom. The windowed bathroom has white fixtures and beige wall tile with two rows of a decorative border tile.

Amenities in the building, according to previous listings, include solar panels, a live-in super, laundry, and storage. Maintenance for this unit is $1,128 a month.

The apartment last sold in 2020 for $455,000. Listed by MaryElizabeth Smith, Kestas Stonys, and Rachel Glory Smith of Corocran, it is now priced at $1.1 million. What do you think?
