About This Property
Perfectly situated on a charming tree-lined block in the Crown Heights Historic District, 1148 Sterling Place is a beautifully finished two-family brownstone offering expansive living, modern comforts, and private outdoor spaces across two thoughtfully designed residences.
The upper duplex welcomes you with a grand parlor floor boasting an open-concept layout ideal for entertaining. Sunlight pours into the spacious living and dining areas through oversized windows, highlighting the white oak hardwood floors and intricate crown moldings. The well-appointed kitchen features Caesarstone quartz countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, custom cabinetry, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances-including a gas range and hood, refrigerator, dishwasher, and wine cooler.
This level also hosts a sunlit bedroom and a full bath with stylish finishes. Upstairs, retreat to the palatial primary suite featuring generous closet space, an en-suite bath, and direct access to a private south-facing roof terrace-your own tranquil escape. A third spacious bedroom with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, a cozy den perfect for a home office, and an in-unit Whirlpool washer + dryer complete the upper level.
The garden-level apartment offers equally impressive space and functionality. An oversized living room is complemented by gleaming hardwood floors and generous natural light. The adjacent kitchen includes breakfast bar seating and stainless steel appliances, making daily living or entertaining effortless. Two large bedrooms-one with an en-suite bath and another bathed in sunlight-sit quietly at the rear, while a second full bath and in-unit washer/dryer provide added convenience.
Occupy one space and utilize the other as a high income-producing unit, rent out both units as an investment property, or take over the entire space for your own personal needs - the options are endless.
Outside, enjoy proximity to neighborhood favorites plus easy access to green spaces including St. John's Park and Brower Park. Transportation is seamless with nearby access to the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, & C trains, and the Nostrand Ave LIRR station.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
Both residences at 1148 Sterling Place have their own washer and dryer, so laundry stays inside the apartment. The upper duplex kitchen also has a gas range with hood, a dishwasher, a refrigerator and a wine cooler, so cooking and cleanup are ready on day one.
The upper parlor floor is open-concept, with oversized windows over the living and dining areas and white oak hardwood floors under the crown moldings. The Caesarstone quartz counters and subway tile backsplash give the kitchen a classic look that suits everyday use, and the open plan keeps the living and dining rooms connected.
Upstairs, the primary suite opens directly onto a private south-facing roof terrace, and I'd look at that terrace first. On an open horizon, a south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun around the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 6.1 hours at the summer solstice, from 9:55 AM to 4:00 PM. Nearby buildings can block that light.
The upper level also has a third bedroom with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, plus a den that works well as a home office. The garden-level apartment has an oversized living room, a kitchen with breakfast bar seating, two large bedrooms, a second full bath and its own washer and dryer.
The Kingston Avenue station for the 3 is about 5 minutes on foot, and Crown Hts-Utica Avenue, served by the 3 and 4, is about 12 minutes. Brower Park is about 3 minutes away, St. John's Park about 7, and Shop Fair Supermarket about 6.
