5 Hampton Place

Some blocks in Brooklyn stop you in your tracks. Hampton Place is one of them — a landmarked, tree-lined stretch in the Crown Heights North Historic District that has been called among Brooklyn's most architecturally distinguished areas. At its heart sits 5 Hampton Place, an 18-foot-wide brick and brownstone two-family townhouse that was gut-renovated with the kind of care and material specification you simply don't find at this price point. The block itself has also earned repeated recognition in Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Greenest Block in Brooklyn program in recent years, underscoring the level of pride, planting, and long-term stewardship that defines the street. Spanning approximately 3,396 square feet across four levels on an 85-foot-deep lot, the home offers a gracious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath owner's unit plus a fully independent studio apartment with its own street entrance — a natural income offset or guest suite, depending on how you choose to use it. The parlor level sets the tone immediately. An open living and dining area flows into a chef's kitchen anchored by an expansive quartzite island, custom cabinetry with Rejuvenation brushed brass hardware, and a floor-to-ceiling pantry wall. Appliances are by Sub-Zero, Bosch, and GE Monogram, including a six-burner gas cooktop and dual ovens. The quartzite countertops are paired with a distinctive backsplash that blends quartzite and Portola Roman Clay in a mirror finish — a detail that telegraphs the level of thought behind every finish in this house. A terrace off the kitchen leads down to a private garden. A discreet powder room completes the level. Upstairs, a hallway skylight draws you into three bedrooms, including a king-sized primary suite with an oversized walk-in closet and a bathroom finished in Nero Marquina herringbone floor tile, White Carrara stone walls, a custom glass-panel shower, and matte black Kohler fixtures. The secondary bathroom features its own skylight, Bianco Carrara hex mosaic floors, a cast iron Kohler soaking tub, and a Swiss Madison vanity. Five-inch white oak hardwood floors, tall double-paned windows, and a two-zone HVAC system run throughout. The garden level adds a fourth bedroom suite with a walk-in closet, a full windowed bathroom in White Carrara stone, and direct access to the garden. The cellar level is an open canvas — media room, gym, home office, or all three. Brower Park and the Brooklyn Children's Museum are moments away. Multiple subway lines and the LIRR are within easy reach. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully realized, move-in-ready townhouse on one of Brooklyn's finest blocks — with the added flexibility of a legal rental unit built right in.
