Description

Located on a picturesque block within the Crown Heights Historic District, 966 St. Johns Place is a landmarked three-story, two-family townhouse that seamlessly blends classic Brooklyn architecture with a thoughtful, design-forward renovation. The original brick façade, framed by a welcoming front yard, sets the tone for the scale, character, and understated elegance found throughout the home. The owner’s residence begins on the parlor level, where generous proportions, sun-filled bay windows, and herringbone hardwood floors create an immediate sense of openness and refinement. Carefully chosen Crate & Barrel light fixtures add warmth and cohesion throughout the space. A beautifully appointed powder room features marble herringbone floors and a Signature Hardware console sink with a brass stand—an elevated detail that blends timeless and contemporary. At the heart of the home is an expansive, windowed kitchen designed to support everyday living and effortless entertaining. An oversized island spanning over 15 feet topped with leathered-finish Taj Mahal countertop anchors the space and offers generous seating. Multiple dining moments unfold naturally here, from island seating and a casual eat-in-kitchen dining area for everyday meals, to a proper formal dining room for special occasions, and a built-in banquette that’s perfect for morning coffee or lingering conversations. A full suite of new Bosch appliances, double ovens, a wine refrigerator, wet bar, and abundant storage, make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Just beyond the kitchen, a Trex-finished deck opens to a thoughtfully landscaped backyard with turf, pavers, and planter boxes—an inviting outdoor space ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by greenery. The second floor is anchored by an impressive primary suite overlooking the rear garden. This peaceful retreat offers generous proportions, a skylit walk-in closet, a private water closet, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with dual vanities and wet room featuring Signature Hardware double shower and soaking tub. Two additional spacious bedrooms share a striking designer bathroom finished with sage large-format tile, 3D accent tiles, a floating vanity, and brushed nickel fixtures. A skylit hallway on this level becomes a destination of its own, featuring a wet bar with beverage refrigerator, a dedicated washer and dryer closet, and a flexible area tucked beneath the roof terrace staircase—ideal for custom storage, a home office, a play space, or a cozy pet nook. Just above is a private roof terrace with expansive views and ample space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet moments under the open sky. The ground level is configured as a fully renovated two-bedroom residence with its own entrance and direct access to the backyard. Designed with the same level of care as the owner’s unit, it includes a wet bar and a flexible layout that can be utilized by either the owner or the tenant, potentially adding a fourth bedroom with an en-suite to the owner’s duplex which may be perfect for guests or au-pair. Set on St. Johns Place in Crown Heights, the home is surrounded by the neighborhood’s celebrated architecture, tree-lined streets, and vibrant cultural energy. Nearby are beloved local cafés and restaurants, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park, and convenient transportation options connecting you throughout Brooklyn and beyond. With its scale, flexibility, and elevated design, 966 St. Johns Place offers a rare opportunity to experience townhouse living at its most refined in one of Brooklyn’s most dynamic communities.
