Property Description for 231 Albany Ave

231 Albany Avenue was originally constructed in 1901. This newly renovated home offers both high-end finishes and classic details as well as modern technology. 231 Albany is a two-family townhouse that features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, a large parlor deck, as well as a private backyard for the garden unit. From American Walnut floors to thoughtfully designed molding, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home. As you enter the owner's three-bedroom duplex, you are greeted by a large parlor adorned by a beautiful arched window. You realize the breadth of space as the 10.5-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan. To the left, a formal living room area with a wood-burning fireplace offers a great space for entertaining. In front of you a large dining area. Toward the back, your kitchen features a two-seat island, custom cabinetry, and floor to ceiling glass door looking out to the backyard. With a full complement of appliances including Viking refrigerator, Wolf six-burner stove, and in-island microwave, this kitchen is perfect for those home-cooked meals. Upstairs you find three bedrooms and two full baths. The elegant master bedroom faces the serene backyard garden and features three windows and a double closet. The master bath is adorned with marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, a glass-enclosed rain shower with bench. As you head down the hall, you pass the complementary second bathroom adjacent to two comfortable bedrooms. The private basement has a separate entrance and is finished with textured tile floors and can easily be transformed into a home office or artist studio. The separate garden floor convertible three-bedroom unit can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment. This masterfully reimagined townhouse is located on a tree-lined block in the heart of Crown Heights. In speaking with the neighbors they all love and take pride in their block. You are moments away from great establishments such as Bakerie, MEAT, Boeuf and Bun, and Basil Pizza & Wine Bar, as well as Brower Park and the Brooklyn Children's Museum. Nearby public transportation includes the 3 & 4/5 trains, and JFK is a short 20min drive.

Crown Heights | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Originally known as Crown Hill by the Lenape Indians that lived there, Crown Heights has evolved into a diverse neighborhood, occupied primarily by Hasidic Jews and one of the largest Caribbean populations to be found anywhere outside of the West Indies. 

Head over to Nostrand Avenue, one of the main West Indian commercial areas in the neighborhood, which is lined with stores that have been in those exact same places for generations, providing their goods and services to area residents. Kingston Avenue has similar commercial activities that support the Jewish community, and Franklin Avenue shows the most signs of change and gentrification, with an ever-expanding mix of yoga studios, coffee shops, and organic grocery stores that serve the influx of young professionals. No matter which of these areas you visit, you will find an interesting mix of businesses that you wouldn’t normally picture as existing side-by-side. It is all part of the cultural diversity of Crown Heights.

The neighborhood is bisected, from east to west, by Eastern Parkway, which is a beautiful, 3-mile-long boulevard lined with mature trees. This leafy oasis was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famed designer of Central Park, the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, and the U. S. Capitol in Washington, D. C.

You will find a mix of low-rise apartment buildings, large middle-class elevator buildings, brownstones, and some luxury buildings. Century-old architecture stands next to modern residential developments in a visually interesting mix of styles, much as the diversity of the residents exists. People who would not normally meet and mix are forging new pathways to cultural understanding by working, living, and playing together in the same neighborhood.
