164 Prospect Park West

The four-story masonry buildings use projecting bays to widen views toward the park. Stone trim articulates the openings, and repeated window groups create a regular rhythm above the entrances. These are purpose-built apartment houses with multiple homes on their floors; the interior arrangements grew from that original use.

At 164, three-bedroom layouts are a recurring type. Front living rooms and adjacent dining areas can face the park, with bedrooms extending toward the rear. Some plans have three exposures and a separate office or small additional room. A room enclosed off the living area can serve a different purpose from a bedroom placed along the quieter rear of the plan.

Bathroom count varies, including both one- and two-bathroom configurations. Renovations have also changed the connection between kitchens, dining areas and living rooms. Original moldings, woodwork and pocket-door arrangements survive in some apartments. Others have more open kitchens and altered interior partitions. High ceilings and bay windows remain the more consistent architectural features.

The upper floors add elevation over the park-side trees but require more stairs. Lower floors shorten that climb and place the principal rooms closer to the street. Front-facing and rear-facing rooms therefore have different outlooks even within the same apartment.

The condominium operates across the three-building property, with common laundry and basement storage among its practical services. Bicycle storage is also available. Individual apartments have installed washers and dryers, so in-home laundry is a feature of particular homes.

Five commercial tax lots accompany the residential condominium lots. Commercial ownership creates an additional set of interests within the association, particularly when work concerns storefronts or the shared exterior. An apartment's percentage interest and the condominium's expense allocations determine its share of common costs; the number of homes behind one entrance does not define that allocation.

Historic-district designation applies to the exterior. Window replacement and changes to visible façade elements can require LPC approval, including work that an individual owner proposes. The stone ornament, entrance details and projecting bays are therefore relevant to the association's maintenance responsibilities as well as the building's appearance.

Pets: Permitted — confirm with the managing agent.

In-unit laundry: Present in some apartments; approval requirements for a new installation should be confirmed with the managing agent.
