This enormous 1 BR home is a great combination of prewar details, high ceilings and generous room proportions along with a sleek renovated eat-in kitchen with a window from which the owner enjoys the daily calls of mourning doves from the front courtyard or from her kitchen window sill when they come to say hello. The stunning renovated tile bathroom features both a jacuzzi tub (for those long relaxing moments) and a separate glass-enclosed shower. An extra-large bedroom has space for a work-from-home desk. The oversized living room easily accommodates a full-sized dining table. There are tons of closets, 5 in all, and a large entry foyer to welcome you home. The perfect combination of old world charm and all the perks of having a stylish Eat-in-Kitchen and beautifully appointed bathroom. Plus, all the rooms have a window.

960 Sterling Place is a well-maintained building. It has a live-in super, a gorgeous common garden behind the building where residents routinely barbecue and visit with neighbors, and a large laundry room in the basement. Surrounded by classic Brooklyn townhouses, this grand and elegant pre-war cooperative elevator building is located on a tree-lined street in an historic district, just two blocks from fabulous Brower Park, tended by the Friends of Brower Park group which holds events year round and takes incredible care of the Park's native plants and old-growth trees. Easily accessible to the famed Brooklyn Children's Museum, the Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park.

Here is what our seller has to say about WHY THEY LOVE LIVING HERE:
"Our proximity to the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park, Brooklyn Public Library, and the Grand Army Plaza farmer's market........There are also a lot of things that don't get talked about as often: for example the Weeksville Heritage Center, a bit further east. The tennis courts at Lincoln Terrace Park. Tons of community gardens (Bergen Street community garden and Imani community garden, to name a couple). At Union Street and Utica, there is an incredible place started by an avid urban farmer in his building's communal green space, the Union Street Farm, which gives away their harvests of organic vegetables every weekend for free. Lastly, I'll just say that the absolute best thing about this building-other than our gorgeous garden where we BBQ every weekend-is the community. We have an active email list where people ask for advice and help when they need it. I've made lifelong friends in this building and I know probably over 40 of my neighbors on a first-name basis (and that's a conservative estimate). Any time I need to borrow something or find that I'm missing a lemon for a recipe, I have about 10 people who text me back immediately. This is a neighborhood where people say GOOD MORNING to each other." And if that's what you're looking for....this is the place! Run, don't walk.
