1062 Sterling Pl, Brooklyn, NY 11213

A standout in the landscape of Brooklyn multi-family townhouses, the rarely available "Kinko Duplex House" was designed at the turn of the 20th Century to accommodate two large apartments in what appeared to be a single family house. What was considered a radical move in the early 1900s is a opportunity for the 21st Century buyer. This 3200 square foot semi-detached double duplex has separate side-by-side entrances, an unusual but wonderful expression of egalitarianism and a quaint gesture from another era. Measuring 20.5 x 40 feet on a huge 120 foot lot, this four story piece of history embodies the Florentine and English Terrace styles, earning its Landmark status. 1062A (upper unit) is a sunny and sprawling upper duplex with a generous entry foyer, a massive 20 foot wide living room, open kitchen and windowed dining area that can accommodate a large table. The top floor of this unit has three large bedrooms and two full baths, and a stairway to a partition with easy access to the roof. 1062B (lower unit) is a charming garden duplex with a living room, windowed dining room, open kitchen and full bathroom on the lower level, three bedrooms and another full bath on the upper level and direct access to the spacious cellar. This unit exits to an oversized back yard with pavers, vegetable garden and a mature, majestic tree. 1062 Sterling Place is situated on a quiet block in gorgeous Crown Heights, minutes from the 3/4/5 subways and a short walk to the area's best shopping, dining and amenities.
