Description

Rare Crown Heights Beauty. This four story townhouse has had only two owners since it was constructed in 1899. While a legal two family, it has only been used as a one family and never rented. It has been meticulously maintained and is in move in condition. The 60's fabulous kitchens are fully functioning and would make the perfect party conversation piece should you decide to hold off on a redesign. The parlor floor's high ceilings, open living room and stairwell make the home feel grand. The dining room along with its kitchen extension make the whole floor feel gracefully proportioned. Just above the parlor floor are two large bedrooms with a bathroom and pass through vanity/wash area. The fourth floor, not visible from the street, has a large garden facing bedroom, a bathroom and another charming slant roof bedroom with skylight. The garden level consists of a bedroom and large kitchen with bathroom. The hardwood floors throughout are in excellent condition.
Enjoy the beauty and convenience of North Crown Heights with the Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brower Park and the shops and restaurants along Nostrand and Franklin Aves.
This home is a must see for anyone looking for the increasingly rare and authentic beauty of a turn of the 20th century Brooklyn brownstone.

    "This area is now called crown heights. We are located on the other side of Eastern Pkwy. Atlantic ave is a border. We are up the hill. Not a dangerous neighborhood but people will litter all over your property. Dog litter everywhere. Trash from corner bodegas everywhere. I hate that about this community. "

    "There are lots of dog parks both official and unofficial, where you can have your dog off leash before 9am or after 9pm. It's important to understand that it's not ok to let your dog pee or poop on sidewalk trees. Homeowners here take a lot of pride in their trees and gardens and letting your dog relieve itself on their property (even if you clean it up) is considered deeply disrespectful."
