Property Description for 960 Sterling Place, 6-J

OPEN HOUSES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! Top-floor, corner two-bedroom residence with southern and eastern exposures in the coveted J line at 960 Sterling Place—an elegant pre-war elevator building in the heart of historic Crown Heights. Light-drenched and airy, this generously sized home features impeccably maintained hardwood floors, nine-foot ceilings, original arches and crown moldings, and a sparkling eat-in kitchen with a large picture window offering beautiful views of the Brooklyn skyline. The primary bedroom is spacious enough to accommodate a king-sized bed and a large office set-up, and boasts double exposures. The second bedroom is also well-sized—ideal for one or two children—and is conveniently located on the opposite side of the shared bathroom. The entry foyer is large enough to serve as a flexible space, accommodating a formal dining table for eight, a pull-out sofa for guests, or simply an additional seating area. The entire unit offers endless possibilities in terms of layout and use, along with ample storage provided by six closets. 960 Sterling Place is a beautifully constructed and classic 79-unit co-op. The building features a new laundry room, bike storage, and a newly renovated garden designed by BrookLandscape, which can also be rented for private events. Additional storage is available (short waitlist). With a live-in superintendent and porter, the building is impeccably maintained and consistently staffed. This home is located just two blocks from the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, the newly-renovated Brower Library, and Brower Park, and equidistant to the Nostrand Avenue 3 train and the President Street 2/5 train. The Nostrand Avenue LIRR stop is also a few blocks away for a quick ride to JFK airport. Union Market, Chavela’s, Mayfield, Silver Rice, Screamer’s Pizzeria, and Franklin Park are all within a ten-minute walk of this classic, well-proportioned gem.

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.
