125 Hawthorne St

A six-story, pre-war cooperative built in 1940, this midblock residential property contains about 20 units made up primarily of studios and two-bedroom apartments. The exterior reads as an Art Deco-era brownstone/brick walk-up with a modest elevator core and a planted common courtyard that separates the two connected addresses. Common interior features across units include high ceilings, original hardwood floors, crown moldings, eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, entrance foyers, pantries, granite counters in renovated kitchens, and built-in storage. Shared building resources consist of a live-in superintendent, a basement laundry room, a package drop/Amazon hub, and additional storage rooms for residents. The courtyard and small planted garden provide limited private outdoor space and a quiet spot for residents on this tree-lined Prospect Lefferts Gardens block. There is on-site bicycle access and resident storage but no garage parking; the co-op’s rules historically restrict pets and require board approval with a typical 20% minimum down and subletting allowed after two years. The location places the building within comfortable walking distance of Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and multiple subway options (B/Q, 2/5, and the Q at Parkside), surrounded by neighborhood cafes, restaurants, and retail that reflect the dynamic Prospect Lefferts Gardens streetscape.
