Property Description for 193 Sterling Place, 2
*A Modern Gem in a Historic Setting*
Step into a slice of Brooklyn history wrapped in charm and modern comfort: a sprawling 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom duplex tucked inside an elegant 1880s barrel-front limestone townhouse co-op. This full-floor parlor and second-floor residence comes complete with private outdoor spaces — a charming deck and a lush garden that feel like your own secret oasis in the heart of the city.
On the parlor level you'll be swept away by soaring 11-foot ceilings, sunlit grandeur, and a level of craftsmanship that’s hard to come by. Think original hardwood floors, beautifully restored woodwork, intricate plaster moldings, ornate fireplaces, rich mantles, and pocket doors that whisper stories from another era. And the kitchen? A chef’s dream with its sleek architectural design, crisp white stone counters, classic tiled backsplash, abundant cabinetry, built-in wine rack, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including Bosch, Monogram, and Fisher & Paykel.
Just off the kitchen, your private deck — shaded by a leafy tree — is the ideal perch for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. A staircase leads you down to a full, romantic garden and patio that’s all yours.
Upstairs, the top floor hosts two beautifully appointed bedrooms, an additional study or dressing room, and a renovated bath. The primary suite is graciously sized, comfortably fitting a king-sized bed and more with a decorative fireplace and accessibility to a dressing room that doesn't skimp on space. The second bedroom is equally charming, with high ceilings, another fireplace, a bay window perfect for a desk, and generous light.
The co-op itself is intimate, housing just three residences, which means low traffic and a true sense of privacy. Shared amenities include laundry, bike storage, and basement storage.
Just one block from Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park, near the B, Q, 2/3 trains, and steps from the vibrant dining and shopping of 7th Avenue, this home is a rare offering — the kind that doesn’t come around often.
Come see for yourself — this one’s got soul, space, and style in spades.

Prospect Heights | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Prospect Heights is a small residential neighborhood surrounded by big attractions. It’s rich in culture and offers the perfect blend of old Brooklyn charm and modern-day hipness.
Residents of this tight-knit community include young professionals, families and long-time residents. It’s a walkers paradise - just steps from Prospect Park and a short walking distance to neighborhoods like Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Green and Clinton. You’re close to culture too. Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Library, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Barclays Center are all nearby.
Prospect Heights is bordered by Flatbush Avenue to the west, Washington Avenue to the east, Atlantic Avenue and Dean Street to the north and Eastern Parkway to the south.
Prospect Heights, like many areas of New York City, was first inhabited by indigenous tribes and eventually settled by the Dutch and turned into farmland.
A significant part of the Revolutionary War was fought in Prospect Heights and the surrounding areas. Known as the Battle of Brooklyn, it was the first military engagement following the Declaration of Independence. Things didn’t go so well for American forces so they retreated and the British occupied Manhattan for several years after the Battle of Brooklyn.
In 1867, the opening of Prospect Park caused major housing growth in Prospect Heights. The middle-class neighborhood was soon populated by Jewish, Italian, and Irish workers. Many of which were shop-owners or employed as laborers in nearby factories.
Housing in Prospect Heights includes single-family row houses, historic townhouses, co-ops, and new luxury condos. The median listed price for a 1-bedroom in Prospect Heights is $680,000 with an average price per square foot is $944.
The neighborhood's commercial artery runs along Vanderbilt Avenue and Washington Avenue. The variety of businesses adds to the charm of the neighborhood. They include bars, pubs, restaurants and mom-and-pop stores of all types. The shops and eateries are a perfect alternative to the big-name attractions that bracket the neighborhood. It's a little bit of everything in this neighborhood.
Subways are plentiful in Prospect Heights. Its proximity to Manhattan is another perk of the neighborhood. It's about a half-hour train ride. The B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5 subway lines all serve the Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center station. 2, 3, 4, B and Q trains cover the neighborhood and the A and C trains are nearby too.
