EARLY 20TH CENTURY ARCHITECTURAL GEM IN THE HEART OF CROWN HEIGHTS.
A rare opportunity awaits in this beautifully preserved Renaissance Revival townhome moments from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Perfect for those who appreciate historic architecture, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property features exquisite period details, sun-splashed rooms, and a spacious backyard. Everything from targeted enhancements to a contemporary whole-home renovation is possible depending on owner preferences and lifestyle needs.
A GRAND THREE-STORY HOME SUFFUSED WITH VINTAGE CHARM.
Residents are welcomed by a deep, gated front yard with lush gardening plots. The striking Renaissance Revival facade boasts a full-height rounded bay and a modillioned cornice. Period details run throughout, including hardwood floors with border inlays, lovely built-ins, and stained-glass accents.
Entertain in style on the Parlor Floor, where pocket doors reveal an expansive living room with a bay window and high ceilings. Beyond, a library is anchored by built-in bookshelves and an incredible wood-burning fireplace, setting the scene for memorable gatherings.
The formal dining room has beamed ceilings, wainscoting, and easy access to a windowed kitchen with stone countertops, tiled floors, ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a pass-through breakfast bar convenient for casual meals and laying out spreads. The kitchen leads out to a large backyard with vibrant tulips, while the dining room connects to a sun-drenched sitting area that can easily be used as an art studio, reading room, and more.
On the Second Floor are three spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom enjoys a massive closet, charming bay window seats, and an en-suite bathroom, while the other two bedrooms receive gorgeous light. Completing the home is an unfinished basement offering endless potential as a home gym, media room, or income-producing rental. It includes a side-by-side washer/dryer and an in-process windowed full bathroom awaiting final touches.

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.
