786 Washington Ave

A low-rise, early 20th-century cooperative located in central Prospect Heights, this four-story, 13-unit pre-war building dates to 1910 and retains characteristic period details adapted for contemporary living. Units are primarily one-bedroom layouts with high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick and decorative fireplaces; many apartments feature built-in shelves, transom windows, and extra storage spaces including lofted storage above bathrooms. Kitchens and baths have been incrementally modernized — recent renovations introduce stainless-steel appliances, stone counters, recessed lighting and in-unit washer/dryer hookups in several units. Common areas are modest and well maintained: a professionally managed lobby/entry with porter service handles trash and routine upkeep. Outdoors the building offers a planted garden courtyard and private outdoor spaces for some units, along with communal bicycle storage in the basement. Policies are buyer-friendly for city co-ops: pet-friendly rules, low monthly maintenance assessments, and the ability to sublet after a period. The property sits within a walkable cultural corridor, steps from Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum, and within a short walk of multiple subway lines and neighborhood retail, dining and services.
