Property Description for 255 Eastern Parkway, D-16

This meticulously renovated three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is filled with natural light and treetop views of historic Eastern Parkway, set in a classic pre-war building.

Be greeted by a grand entrance gallery leading to the sun-filled great room, noting at once how each detail of the home’s original character has been updated and preserved. The open floor plan makes excellent use of living, dining and kitchen spaces, ensuring a seamless flow of movement and light. The windowed, open kitchen gleams with white hardwood cabinetry, gorgeous marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. A large center island greatly multiplies the counter space and provides convenient breakfast bar seating. Each of the three windowed bedrooms is tucked at the rear of the home, ensuring optimal privacy and solitude. The largest bedroom, with two large closets, is spacious enough for a king-sized bed and a full complement of furniture, while one of the remaining two bedrooms features an en suite bathroom. All three bedrooms surround the home's larger full bathroom, awash in gleaming white subway tile and marble. Dark-stained hardwood floors pave the entire home and the nine-and- a-half foot ceilings are capped with crown molding throughout. Three additional hall closets and an in-unit washer-dryer ensure that all of your storage and amenity needs are met.

Built in 1924, The Woodrow Wilson is a beautiful, full-service building boasting an ornate, Art Deco lobby, landscaped gardens, doorman, live-in superintendent and porter. It is located on the cusp of Prospect Heights on lush Eastern Parkway, which is celebrated as the nation's first parkway, designed by famed landscape architects Vaux and Olmstead. Directly across the Parkway sit the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and two blocks further along the scenic street are the Brooklyn Public Library, Prospect Park and the Saturday greenmarket. Around the corner on Franklin Avenue, you'll find Crown Heights' newest collection of hip restaurants, bars, coffee shops and boutiques. The pizza at Barboncino and the breakfast at Tom’s on Washington are not to be missed. The express 2/3, 4/5 trains all stop at Franklin and Eastern Parkway providing a breezy 30-minute commute to midtown Manhattan.

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.
