Property Description for 255 Eastern Parkway, B-1
255 EASTERN PARKWAY B1. ARCHITECT-DESIGNED STUNNER! From the instant you enter this stunning, light-filled 3-bed, 2-bath home it's evident that no detail was overlooked and no expense was spared in the pristine renovation and restoration of this prewar beauty. The owners collaborated with their architect to custom design a home that's light, bright, open and airy, while ensuring that every square inch is usable, practical and brilliantly modern.
Light floods in from 11 windows along 2 exposures. The central focus of the living room is the gorgeous bay window that was reframed and wood-clad. It faces south and frames green, light and lush views. The beautifully renovated kitchen features a wood pendant light, White Macuba ABC Stone counters, a waterfall breakfast bar, matte and walnut cabinetry, designer hardware and a high-end appliance package. It's open to the elegant dining room, which is perfect for entertaining. Both bathrooms are a stylish mix of white subway tiles and designer hardware.
Custom millwork can be seen throughout the apartment including the gallery wall of bookshelves and a playfully designed storage wall in the dining room. Its many other features include almost 10-ft ceilings, 8-ft custom doors, designer lighting, amazing closet space, washer/dryers permitted (with board approval) and bleached, artisan oak floors.
The Woodrow Wilson, circa 1929, is one of the most coveted buildings along the parkway. It's pet-friendly and offers a part-time doorman, live-in super, two elevators, a stunning Art Deco marble lobby, bike and private storage (upon availability) and laundry. It's situated on historic Eastern Parkway, close to all of the neighborhood's destination cafes, bars and restaurants. The 2/3, 4/5 trains are practically outside your door as is Brooklyn's cultural heart: the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanic Garden, Prospect Park, the Zoo, the Library, Grand Army Plaza and the Farmer's Market. This quality of workmanship will impress even the most discerning buyer and should not be missed.

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.
