1156 Sterling Place

Please make an appointment to view this home during the scheduled Open House. Built in 1901, this Axel Hedman-designed brownstone is an impressive 19.7 x 55 footprint sitting on an atypically deep 127.75 ft. lot. In the same family for over 60 years, the current owners live throughout the legal two-family home as a single-family residence. They have consistently maintained the house's mechanicals throughout the years, making it perfectly move-in-ready. Enter through the double doors into the grand Parlor floor with 10+ foot ceilings throughout the dining room, den, and living room. Brimming with original period details such as decorative fireplaces, ceiling medallions, built-ins, parquet floors, original woodwork, wainscotting, pocket doors, and much more, the home exudes old-world charm throughout. An added bonus is the full bathroom on the parlor floor, which most brownstones do not have, The top floor of the house contains four bedrooms, a convenient den/office, and a kitchenette which can easily turn into another bedroom or work from home area. The finished basement has a laundry room and a cozy recreation/media room. Last year, the owners completely remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms on the garden level. The spacious eat-in kitchen has a large window overlooking the blooming Spring garden. Outfitted with brand new appliances, a gorgeous marble floor, and a marble backsplash make cooking a delight. This historic grand home, located in the Crown Heights North Historic District, is a beautiful reflection of the Renaissance Revival style. Comprised of 3,509 Sq ft- not including the finished basement, 1156 Sterling Place has 5-bedrooms, 3-bathrooms, and a huge private fenced rear garden. If desired, the garden level can easily be turned into a two-bedroom, one-bathroom rental unit for $2800 a month to offset the mortgage cost. The top duplex can be rented for $6000-$8000 a month. The location is exceptional, close to Brower Park and Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and Brooklyn Children's Museum. The 3 train is blocks away on Eastern Parkway, where you can quickly transfer to the 4 and 5 trains. Many new and exciting stores are opening in the area, like the community-run Daughter cafe. Allowances exist to extend or build an additional 2,587 square feet if desired.
