ALL OPEN HOUSES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
Step into the grandeur of this exquisite co-op residence located in the historic former PS 9 on Sterling Place, an architectural gem crafted by the esteemed James W. Naughton in 1895 and designated a New York City Landmark and also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This majestic home boasts three spacious bedrooms, a versatile den, and two and a half baths, all enveloped by the timeless charm of its storied past.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming foyer that unfolds into an awe-inspiring living space, crowned with 14-foot ceilings and illuminated by 10-foot windows facing west. The living room, adorned with ornate decorative molding, is a testament to the elegance of the space. Adjacent to the living area is a separate, state-of-the-art kitchen, a culinary haven with abundant cabinetry, polished granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances.
The southern wing of this beautiful home is the sanctuary of the king-sized primary bedroom and an additional queen-sized bedroom, each a haven of rest with lofty ceilings and expansive windows that draw in the daylight. The northern wing presents a queen-sized bedroom with soaring ceilings and windows that frame both western and southern vistas. Nearby, a spacious den awaits, ready to transform into a guest retreat, home office, cinema, playroom, or your personal art studio, depending on your whim. Convenience is embodied in the full and half bathrooms, as well as an in-unit washer and dryer, ensuring that comfort is always within reach.
Lofted storage is in the unit and accessed via a pull-down attic staircase complete with a railing, ensuring that your treasures are always at hand.
This residence is not just a home; it's a portal to Brooklyn's vibrant culture. Just steps away lie the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Public Library, and the verdant expanses of Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. The neighborhood thrives with a plethora of shopping options and eateries along Vanderbilt, Washington, and Flatbush Avenues. Embrace the local bounty at the Farmer’s Market at Grand Army Plaza every Saturday. With the 2/3 and B/Q trains serving the area, the city is yours to explore.
Welcome to a living space where history meets modern luxury, and community flourishes.
