1355 Park Place

This three-level townhouse in historic, booming Crown Heights North combines elegant brownstone charm with modern amenities. Both floors have a living room, full kitchen, and master bedrooms, and are accessible by a gorgeous interior stairway, meaning you can use this as a two- home or a luxurious, single- abode. There's also a huge basement, totaling more than 1,000 sq ft-perfect for a wide variety of uses, from storage to a game or laundry room. The basement and the main floor lead out to a extra deep backyard on a 127' lot, with a poured concrete porch and plenty of room for outdoor hosting. The floor plans of the main and second levels are similar. There's a master-size bedroom in the front, with large bay windows that overlook the stoop area, facing south. On both floors, the master bedroom gives way to a living room. There's a dining area with ample closet space on the main floor, above which lies another bedroom on the second floor. Both levels have a large bedroom in the back, and a kitchen with recently installed appliances, a dishwasher, and generous amounts of cabinet space. Above the entryway on the second floor, there's another bedroom, which can also be used as an office, with a lovely window overlooking Brooklyn. And there are two bathrooms-one on each living level. The details of this home must be seen to be believed: it's replete with gorgeous dark woods, elegant molding and lighting fixtures, exposed brick, stunning frames, and an eye-catching rooftop eave. The building was constructed in 1910 and retains its original glory. At 2200 sq ft, it is a large home, but it comes with air rights that allow another 4000 sq ft to be added to the house. It's located in the Crown Heights North, one of Brooklyn's most beautiful neighborhoods. St. John's Park is around the corner; the 3, 4, 5, A, and C lines are a short walk away; and there are numerous bars, restaurants, and boutiques (with more opening weekly) in the neighborhood.
