Description
In Contract- please email me directly for a list of other properties I have coming up in the area. Brownstone living at its best - 987 Sterling Place is a beautifully renovated 2-family brownstone in the heart of Crown Heights that impresses with its soaring ceilings and stunning original details throughout, including pier mirrors, intricate woodwork, and ornate fireplaces. A grand entryway that’s as elegant as it is useful, sets the stage for the rest of this exquisite home with a pier mirror that doubles as a coat rack, built-in bench, wainscoting, colonnade, and decorative fretwork. Through the double pocket doors a second majestic pier mirror welcomes you into the living room bathed in natural light from south-facing bay windows crowned with stained glass and outfitted with charming shutters. The beautifully restored fretwork gives some separation between the living room and den, providing a cozy retreat to enjoy a book by the fireplace, while maintaining an open concept on the parlor floor. An impressive mirrored fireplace highlights the grandeur of the formal dining room, while double pocket doors allow for flexibility with entertaining. A modern chef’s kitchen outfitted with top-of-the-line stainless steel Wolf and Viking appliances, natural quartz countertops, and a vented hood leads to the deck and spacious yard, perfect for outdoor entertainment or gardening. A powder room and two closets complete the parlor level. The upper level of the home is equally impressive with a primary bedroom that boasts a distinguished marble and wood fireplace, en-suite bath with Kohler fixtures, and walk-in-closet. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide ample space for the household. A vented washer-dryer on this floor, 3-zoned air conditioning, and finished basement adds to the convenience and comfort of this remarkable home, while the 2 (flex 3) bedroom/2 bathroom rental offers the flexibility of a separate home for guests or additional monthly income. Situated near the historic district, 987 Sterling is on a gorgeous brownstone block in the heart of Crown Heights with easy access to Manhattan from the 2/3/4/5 and A/C trains. Residents enjoy Brower Park, Major R. Owens Community Center with indoor pool, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Gardens, Brooklyn Zoo, and all that Prospect Park has to offer. Local favorite restaurants and cafes include Colina Cuervo, Boeuf & Bun, Taqueria Milear & Super Power. With Union Market just a short walk away, you have all the conveniences you need! Seize the remarkable opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn's architectural heritage in a vibrant neighborhood!
