Property Details
Description
1487 Sterling Place is a diamond in the rough waiting for the right buyer who will recognize its beauty and restore it to modern day magnificence. Built in 1901 this two family, barrel front brick townhouse is nestled amongst similar rowhouses that harken to a bygone area. The three level, 22 x 55 foot, 3,492 square foot property sits on a deep 127.75 foot lot and has very high ceilings, crown molding, immense windows for lots of natural sunlight, and decorative details like original moulding and hardwood floors. The barrel front creates an expansive living room and large rooms that overlook the street and allow you to enjoy the neighborhood below. This property offers buyers two options--as a grand single family home with its 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, or, as a two bedroom duplex unit with basement and a three bedroom investor unit upstairs. The backyard is a blank slate that can become an outdoor patio, grassy lawn or vegetable garden. Lincoln Terrace Park is just a few blocks away and there is easy access to Manhattan with the 3,4 & 5 subway lines nearby.
