# A Full Brownstone With Pool Access Hits Brooklyn Market
A Prospect-Lefferts brownstone featuring a private backyard swimming pool entered the market this week, offering rare outdoor space in one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods.
The listing represents a shift in luxury Brooklyn offerings. Single-family brownstones with dedicated pools remain uncommon in the borough, where most residential properties lack outdoor water amenities. The Prospect-Lefferts location places buyers near Prospect Park's 526 acres and the neighborhood's tree-lined streets, which command premium prices.
Brownstone purchases in this area typically range from $1.5 million to $3 million depending on size, condition, and lot dimensions. Properties with pools push higher. The backyard pool adds significant value in a neighborhood where outdoor space commands dollar-per-square-foot premiums over comparable units without it.
For buyers, this listing offers what the market rarely provides: the option to own an entire building rather than a condo unit. Brownstones provide greater customization freedom, the ability to add additional units through legal subdivisions, and potential rental income. The pool becomes a lifestyle amenity and a resale advantage in an increasingly competitive market.
For sellers in the area, this listing signals continued strength in the family-sized Brooklyn home segment. Buyers with seven-figure budgets remain active despite mortgage rates. The pool feature differentiates this property from the dozens of comparable brownstones circulating in Prospect-Lefferts simultaneously.
Renters in the neighborhood face a different reality. Luxury rentals in this area range from $2,500 for one-bedrooms to $5,000 for four-bedrooms. Few rental brownstones include pools, making this property exceptional if offered for lease rather than sale.
