Property Details
Description
Step into a piece of history with this charming two-family home, part of a series of twenty-two uniform rowhouses featuring protruding bays and attached front porches. Built in 1910, this residence boasts a generous 20 ft width and 52 ft depth, spanning two floors plus a full basement. As you ascend the stoop, you are greeted by elegant double glass doors adorned with period ironwork. Inside, the home is rich with historical details, including decorative transoms, built-in china cabinets, and a skylight, all featuring colorful stained glass. Both apartments offer high ceilings and south-facing bay windows, ensuring bright and spacious living areas. Additionally, a separate entrance under the porch provides direct access to the basement. Transform this incredible timepiece into a grand 3,000 sq ft single-family home (see alternate plan for inspiration) or maintain an apartment on the top floor while duplexing the first floor with the basement. Situated on Sterling Street between Bedford and Rogers, this leafy, landmarked block is exceptionally well-connected to public transportation and Brooklyn’s premier cultural institutions, including the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Central Library. Prospect Park, a haven for dog lovers, runners, zoo visitors, and picnickers, is just down the street. At the top of the block, enjoy the local charm with a cozy wine bar, a fancy ice cream shop, and an Italian café renowned for its delicious sfogliatelle. A CitiBike station at the other end of the street adds convenience for those on the go. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn’s architectural heritage.
