125 Hawthorne St

A six-story prewar co-op built in 1940, this Art Deco walk-up/elevator property sits on a tree-lined block in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn. The masonry façade and period detailing continue inside with high ceilings, arched doorways, glass doorknobs, recessed bookcases and crown molding in many units. Residences range from studios to two-bedrooms and commonly feature hardwood floors, windowed eat-in kitchens with pantry or breakfast bars, original millwork, generous closets and occasional private outdoor spaces under 60 sq ft. Shared building features include a planted, furnished courtyard, on-site laundry, bicycle and building storage, a live-in superintendent and a maintained lobby with elevator access. Parking is not advertised; storage lockers are available with waitlist/fee. Pet policies are restrictive in many listings (pets often prohibited). Located a short walk from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and multiple subway lines (Q, B, 2, 5), the building sits amid a neighborhood with growing restaurants, shops and easy Manhattan commutes. Many apartments reflect classic prewar layouts and period charm; several listings note units that are move-in ready while others require cosmetic or full renovations.
