This is a rare opportunity to own a classic Brooklyn townhouse in the heart of Crown Heights North, a neighborhood known for its historic charm, vibrant energy, and strong sense of community. This two-family residence offers the timeless appeal of prewar architecture while sitting directly across from Brower Park, a treasured green space that is part of the Brooklyn Children’s Museum campus.
Built in 1901, this brick and masonry home spans 2,889 square feet across two stories. The lot measures 19.25 feet by 75 feet, and the building extends 19.25 feet by 48 feet, maximizing its interior while maintaining a warm and inviting feel. Delivered vacant, this home provides flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. Large windows throughout the home invite an abundance of natural light, filling the space with warmth and highlighting the architectural details that make this residence so special.
Set in a serene and quiet section of Crown Heights, this home enjoys an ideal balance of urban convenience and residential charm. Brower Park, just across the street, provides a lush retreat with tree-lined paths, playgrounds, basketball courts, and open green space—perfect for relaxation, recreation, and a great place for pets to roam freely. The Brooklyn Children’s Museum, a beloved cultural institution, is seamlessly integrated into the park, offering interactive exhibits and activities that make this area a dynamic destination for families and visitors.
Public transportation is easily accessible, making commuting effortless. The Kingston-Throop Avenue Station (C train) is just a short distance away, offering a direct connection to downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan. The Kingston Avenue Station (3 train), located south along Eastern Parkway, provides additional transit options, ensuring convenient access to key destinations across the city.
The surrounding neighborhood is a vibrant mix of historic architecture and modern conveniences. With close proximity to Nostrand Avenue, residents can enjoy a variety of cafés, bakeries, restaurants, and boutique shops. Local favorites include Allan’s Bakery, known for its classic Trinidadian baked goods, and Basil, a popular kosher eatery offering a fresh take on Italian cuisine. Essential amenities like dry cleaners, grocery stores, and specialty shops add to the convenience of daily living.
With its prime location, classic townhouse charm, and close proximity to Brower Park and the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, this is a truly special opportunity to be part of one of Brooklyn’s most desirable and culturally rich neighborhoods.
