All rooms and all 5 bedrooms are inviting and well-proportioned. Lovely bathrooms (3.5 throughout) are well-appointed and appealing, adorned with porcelain and glass tile as well as contemporary fixtures. The main level of the owner’s duplex is great for entertaining. A large living room with fireplace flows into an open dining room and gorgeous kitchen. Chef’s quarters are adorned with custom cabinetry, white stone countertops, a breakfast bar, and premium Bosch & Blue Star stainless steel appliances. From here you can step out to the secluded rear yard to enjoy a coffee or cocktail with family and friends. Back inside, a convenient powder room sits close by. Level 2 is occupied by the sun-bathed primary bedroom, 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath. The finished lower level is a perfect recreation space, with lots of room for an office, gym, playroom, even a guest sleeping area, plus a full bath and laundry. Level three houses the rental unit offering a sizable open kitchen/living/dining layout, full bath, and 2 front-facing bedrooms with ample closets.

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.
