The Top of Prospect Heights!

 

Available on the open market for the first time in decades, don't miss this rare chance at a newly renovated premier architectural jewel in one of finest locations in all of Brooklyn.

 

Stunningly restored brownstone on one of the finest blocks in the Prospect Heights Historic District, 268 Sterling Place rivals anything in Park Slope. Built in 1899 by architect Benjamin Driesler, the house is dripping with period details of his Romanesque and Renaissance Revival style from its signature ornate red brownstone facade to the original parquet flooring with herring bone mahogany inlays, stained-glass transoms above the bay windows, 5 original decorative mantels, pier mirrors, wainscotting, exposed brick, egg and dart moldings, built-in oak shelving with glass panes and original metal hardware.

 

This legal 4-Family is currently configured as an owner's duplex on the top two floors, with front and back studio apartments on the parlor floor, and a floor-through 2BR apartment on the garden floor.

 

The top owner's duplex features a lavish ceiling height across both floors, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, pocket doors to the full-width south-facing living room, skylight in the master bath, vented washer/dryer, stainless steel appliances, new hardwood flooring, zoned heating system for each floor, kitchen island, quartz countertops with marble grain. The unique rectilinear projection of the bay on the front facade offers windows with north and east exposures in the master bedroom and dining room of the duplex.

 

The parlor floors enjoy a ceiling height over 10', modern appliances with dishwasher in both studio apartments, and modern tiling that blends perfectly into the flagship period details of the house, with bay windows on the front and rear facade.

 

The ground floor 2 bedroom apartment currently enjoys exclusive access to the landscaped south-facing yard.

 

Arched brick in the full-height basement frames the additional storage units for each apartment, along with common washer/dryer for the rental units. Each unit has its own thermostat for the all-new zoned-heating system. New weather shield windows have been also installed throughout the home.

 

A perfect turnkey property for end-users and/or investors. Easily used as an owner's triplex over garden rental for buyers in need of 3 floors. With self-contained studios on the parlor, the configurations lends itself to a variety of uses besides rentals, from pied-a-tierre to home office, and/or in-law suite.
