Property Description for 960 Sterling Place, 1-N

Scandinavian Style Studio lives like a full house. This remarkable renovation has FLOW and is located in a well-run, community-focused, pre-war building. Perched on an elevated 1st floor, it overlooks the building’s verdant garden and is designed like a vacation. Upon entering, one is struck by the high level of quality and detail in the renovation. The entry hall features ample storage and is adorned with Nautical Star onlays, which give a nod to the building’s original period details. From the French Legrand switches to the arched plaster ceilings, there is so much to enjoy. The spacious, eat-in, Scandinavian-style custom kitchen features Concrete Caesarstone counters, voluminous storage through modern cabinetry, and vibrant teak open shelving with dimmable under-mount lighting. A retro stainless steel SMEG range and Bosch dishwasher add to the style and convenience. The cork floor provides great texture and ergonomic qualities, feeling great on the feet and back. With the installed water filter, you will never need to fill a Brita again. After passing through the spacious dressing room (which provides storage like a walk-in closet), you find a fully renovated, windowed bathroom whose design takes a tasteful spin on the classic Gotham aesthetic. Subway wall tiles are framed with charcoal grey grout, and so is the sage green penny floor tile. Matte black fittings complete the look. Through the arched entry, the generous main living space features the original oak parquet with mahogany inlays. It comfortably fits a full living room with seating for 7, a desk, a queen-sized sleeping space (king possible too), and smart, modular shelves that provide storage and privacy between the two spaces. The living area is adorned with custom lighting from local artisans and has top-down/bottom-up blinds that allow for privacy while letting light pour in. The building features beautifully functional amenities, with a large landscaped garden with a barbecue area and multiple social areas. There is bike storage and a laundry room. Butterfly security entrance sends visitors directly to your phone. The building does not have restrictions on subletting.

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.
