Property Description for 693 Saint Johns Place
693 ST JOHNS PLACE
LIMESTONE TOWNHOUSE FOR SALE
4BR 3BA WASHER/DRYER DISHWASHER EAT-IN-KITCHEN PREWAR DETAIL OUTDOOR
LIL' WAINSCOTING
Tucked away on a naturally appealing block in Crown Heights sits this two-and-a-half story LIMESTONE SENSATION at 693 St Johns Place. Fall in love with this vibrant neighborhood and, this Summer, indulge in a few of Brooklyn's most notable destinations: The Brooklyn Children's Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and, our favorite, Prospect Park!
The parlor floor opens to a classic living area featuring northern exposure and will envelop you in warm double-height mahogany wainscoting, punctuated by a wall of built-in prewar, glass-front cabinetry to display your most prized mementos. The southern-facing room on the main floor is spacious and features a king-sized main bedroom with ensuite bath, double-closets, overhead storage, and is adorned by a turn-of-the-century decorative fireplace.
The top floor features an accommodating king-sized bedroom with amazing closet space, a 100+ year prewar fireplace, and direct access to a 2nd room, ideal as an office, den, or dressing room.
The charming kitchen is highlighted by porcelain-tiled floors, stainless steel appliances plus dishwasher, butcher block counter tops, open shelving, and a large pantry! The recreation room in the English basement features an open floor plan, and direct access to a 2nd bathroom where you'll find the full-sized washer and dryer. Equipped with radiant floor heat, the space is currently being used as a full-floor main suite.
Host guests comfortably in the super-cute north-facing garden while your eat-in-kitchen double as a staging area.
But, hey...if you don't like cooking, you'll love dining outside with direct access to over 1,500SF of outdoor space ready to be your oasis.
Or dine out at standout Crown Heights restaurants like Gueros, Barboncino, Crabby Shack, Chavela's, Dutch Boy Burger, Mayfield, The Crown Inn, Butter Scotch, Aita Trattoria, Cent'Anni, Borough, Cornbread Brooklyn, Hart, or our favorite: Cafe Rue Dix.
Trains: 2/3/4/5 - Franklin Av-Medgar Evers College; 'S' - Franklin Avenue Shuttle to Prospect Park at Park Place.
Get To Know Crown Heights:To the east of Brooklyn's most vibrant natural environment awaits one of its equally vital urban ones. In a way that only New York City can, the blossoming flowers of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden give way to the alluring architecture of Crown Heights. Reflecting years of changes in design preferences, Crown Heights is home to Renaissance Revival apartment buildings, neo-Federal row houses, Tudor-inspired freestanding houses, and about everything in between.

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.
