39 Hampton Place

This grand, 4 story, two-family brick home was built circa 1908 in a quiet, exclusive enclave of Crown Heights on Hampton Place (which is just 2 tree-lined blocks long), and is situated between St. John's Place and Sterling Place. Each of the two DUPLEX residences (39 and 39A) consists of 1600 square feet--each with 3 well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bath on the top floor, and living room, kitchen and dining areas on the first floor. The duplexes also have separate, side-by side entrances--allowing an owner and tenant to have the ultimate privacy. The upper duplex (39A Hampton Place) has a beautiful, modern, sunlit (with tree-top and garden views), eat-in kitchen with all stainless steel appliances and a large island with vent hood. The west-facing living room has a decorative fireplace and tree-top views. On the upper level of this duplex there is a stackable washer/dryer adjacent to the dual-entry spa bathroom which has separate shower and toilet closets, a deep-soaking tub and dual sinks. There are also 3 generously proportioned bedrooms. The lower duplex (39 Hampton Place) has a brand new kitchen with access to a huge, private, landscaped backyard, a formal dining room with garden views, a graciously laid-out living area, and access to the full basement where there is a washer/dryer hook-up. The top level of the lower duplex has 3 generously proportioned bedrooms and a full bath. Aside from the various upgrades and renovations made to both units, this wonderful home has a recently replaced roof, a newly restored and painted front facade, newly painted iron work, and a brand new steam boiler. This home was also the beneficiary of an energy retrofit grant which included sealing of the envelope in the basement, a wi-fi thermostat; and the sealing of all windows and draft points to maximize heat retention. Notably 39 Hampton Place is situated in the Crown Heights North III Historic District. This Neo-Tudor style home was designed by architect Willliam Debus in the "Kinkos" genre--which is an abbreviation for the first builder of these English style duplex homes: the Kings & Westchester Land Company. 39 Hampton Place is also conveniently located near to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brower Park and Library, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Prospect Park, Grand Army Plaza and Farmers Market, and all major transportation including the 2, 3, 4, 5 and C trains. As for amenities, there is the Carey Gabay Recreation Center at the Bedford/Union Armory (where you'll find a 6 lane pool and wellness center); the Union Market (corner of Bedford Ave. & Lincoln Pl.) and a Super Foodtown (Fulton Ave. at Brooklyn Ave.) for groceries; and a variety of dining and snacking options including: Bakerie (corner of Albany Ave. & Sterling Pl.); Daughter Coffee Shop (corner of St. John's and Kingston Ave.); Beouf and Bun (on Kingston Ave. at Lincoln Pl.); Barbacino Pizza (on Franklin Ave. at St. John's Pl).), Memphis Seoul (Lincoln Pl. at Franklin Ave.), Cent'Anni (Franklin Ave. at Sterling Pl.), Mayfield (Franklin Ave. at Prospect Pl.), Ras (Franklin Ave. at Sterling Pl.), LuLa Bagel (Nostrand Ave. at Lincoln Pl.), Colina Cuervo (Nostrand Ave. at St. John's Pl.), 3 Maples (Fulton Ave. bet.
