Welcome to 205 Sterling Place, a charming two-family brownstone in the heart of Prospect Heights. This landmarked home features original woodwork, six marble mantels, central air and all the modern conveniences you need for Brooklyn townhouse living.
As you enter through the gorgeous original wooden doors, you're greeted by a flowering apple blossom tree and streaming Southern sunlight. The grand parlor is flooded with natural light from the massive front windows, which still have their original wooden pocket shutters intact. Original floors, marble mantels, and original wood banisters complete the elegant look of this beautiful space.
The parlor floor also features an open, clean-lined kitchen with a suite of stainless steel appliances, as well as a rare sunroom that's ideal for indoor/outdoor living. With double doors that swing open to the back deck and a staircase that leads to the garden, this sunroom creates an extra special space that's perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing with family.
Upstairs, the primary suite boasts a full wall of windows that showcase the Southern sun in the morning. A walk-in closet and marble mantel add to the room's elegance and functionality. The second bedroom or office space offers views of the lovely garden, and a full bathroom completes the floor.
The top floor has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry room with a skylight. This space can be reconfigured into three bedrooms if desired or used as a media lounge or home office.
The garden level offers a private one-bedroom, duplexed apartment with a spiral staircase that leads to an additional flex space in the basement. This apartment can provide additional income or be a great spot for visiting family and friends.
Located on a landmarked block of brownstones, 205 Sterling Place is in one of the most ideal neighborhoods for access to the very best Brooklyn has to offer. The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, Brooklyn Library, and Prospect Park are all just steps away. The 2/3 and Q/B express trains are within a block, and there are plenty of acclaimed restaurants, bakeries, and shops nearby including Oxalis, Olmsted, Union Market, R&D specialty foods, Gold Star Beer Counter, Weather Up, Blue Marble, LaLou, Fausto, and PattiAnn's.
