172 Crown St

This charming, historic single family brick home is nestled on one of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks in the very special neighborhood of Crown Heights. The two-story house is 20 ft wide, by 40 ft deep on a deep 120 ft lot and features three bedrooms, two full baths, an English basement, front garden and full size South-facing rear garden leading out to your private two-car garage. Enter through a wonderful front parlor which flows through French doors into an ample formal dining room with original beamed ceiling, wainscoting and finely crafted cabinetry. The kitchen opens to the back deck overlooking the garden. An inviting porch at the front of the house lends itself to chatting with neighbors. A gracious center staircase leads to the bedroom floor, with original pass-through, a shaving sink and a built in wardrobe. The full length basement with full bath, laundry, high ceilings and two outside entrances can easily be renovated for additional recreation space. The house is perfectly located near trains, shopping, Medgar Evers College, the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park and the Botanic Garden. A great investment for the future.
