Listing Notes
Rare Crown Heights Beauty. This four story townhouse has had only two owners since it was constructed in 1899. While a legal two family, it has only been used as a one family and never rented. It has been meticulously maintained and is in move in condition. The 60's fabulous kitchens are fully functioning and would make the perfect party conversation piece should you decide to hold off on a redesign. The parlor floor's high ceilings, open living room and stairwell make the home feel grand. The dining room along with its kitchen extension make the whole floor feel gracefully proportioned. Just above the parlor floor are two large bedrooms with a bathroom and pass through vanity/wash area. The fourth floor, not visible from the street, has a large garden facing bedroom, a bathroom and another charming slant roof bedroom with skylight. The garden level consists of a bedroom and large kitchen with bathroom. The hardwood floors throughout are in excellent condition. Enjoy the beauty and convenience of North Crown Heights with the Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brower Park and the shops and restaurants along Nostrand and Franklin Aves. This home is a must see for anyone looking for the increasingly rare and authentic beauty of a turn of the 20th century Brooklyn brownstone.
