Property Description for 658 Park Place, 3-R

Generously proportioned and well-lit, two and a half-bedroom ("half-bedroom" is 9'9"x7'6" and fits a full bed), 1186sf condominium on beautiful tree-lined block of Park Place just off vibrant Franklin Avenue.

Two flights up, with bright bay windows overlooking verdant treetops and Romanesque revival brick and brownstone facades. The living and dining space is 26'8" deep and 10'7" wide, with plenty of room for a comfortable living area and a large dining room table. The open 10'10"x10'4" windowed kitchen provides additional seating with a breakfast bar peninsula island and plenty of counter and cabinet space, along with stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and a large storage closet.

Nestled towards the rear of the apartment, the primary bedroom is a generous king-sized 13'11"x10'10" with en-suite bathroom with stall shower and a large walk-in-closet. At the back of the apartment, the second bedroom is 14'7"x 9'7" with a large double-doored closet and southern and western exposures. There is a 73sf 9'9"x7'6" windowed room off the living area (at front of apartment) that can be used as an office or additional sleeping room (it fits a full bed, but advertising guidelines do not label rooms under 80sf as bedrooms). Next to the kitchen the hallway opens up to a windowed 6'9" space that can accommodate a small home office/desk/reading nook. Past this hall study nook is a full second bath with bathtub.

There are a total of five closets, including primary bedroom walk-in-closet, second bedroom large double-door closet, large hall-closet past kitchen, pantry in kitchen, and hallway utility-closet containing stacked washing machine and vented gas dryer as well as boiler. Home features finished exposed brick walls, hardwood floors throughout, 9ft ceilings, and an approximately 4x6ft storage cage in the basement.

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.
