About This Property
Welcome to Unit 1J at 960 Sterling Place, where prewar charm, generous proportions, and a true sense of community come together in the heart of northwest Crown Heights.
No Board Approval is required with this spacious and newly renovated two-bedroom sponsor unit! With double exposures, this lovely home offers the kind of space and thoughtful layout that’s increasingly hard to find in Brooklyn.
A gracious entry foyer opens into an expansive living room with classic hardwood floors and inlaid borders, high ceilings, large windows, and abundant closet space throughout.
The windowed kitchen is modern in design and opens through a wide arched entry to the foyer and dining area, creating an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. Sleek matte black fixtures, quartz countertops with a full-height quartz backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, dishwasher and over-the-range microwave, an undermount sink with a gooseneck faucet and pull-down sprayer, and ample shaker-style cabinetry complete the space.
Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and privately positioned away from the main living area. The primary bedroom is a bright corner room with windows on two sides, leafy views and multiple closets, while the second bedroom provides flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional sleeping space. The windowed bathroom is ultra-clean, with large-format terrazzo-style tile, white vertical stacked tile, a matte black rain shower with handheld sprayer, a full tub, a fluted wood vanity and a large closet for all of your storage needs.
960 Sterling Place is a well-maintained elevator cooperative with a live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike storage, additional storage options, a Butterfly virtual doorman system, and a beautifully landscaped shared courtyard garden. Located in the northwest corner of the Crown Heights Historic District, you’re surrounded by tree-lined streets and beautiful brownstones, with Brower Park, the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park, and the Brooklyn Public Library all nearby. Nostrand Avenue’s vibrant collection of cafés, restaurants, and shops is also just moments away, and multiple subway lines provide an easy commute to Manhattan or anywhere else you want to go.
If you’re looking for a spacious two-bedroom with prewar character, modern updates, and a flexible layout in the heart of Crown Heights, 1J is ready to welcome you home.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
No board approval is required to buy this sponsor unit at 960 Sterling Place, and that's worth knowing before you spend time on the rest of the listing. The two-bedroom has double exposures, high ceilings and large windows, and the entry foyer leads into a living room with hardwood floors and inlaid borders.
The kitchen has a window and sits within view of the foyer and dining area, so you can cook and still stay in the conversation. It includes a gas range, a dishwasher, an over-the-range microwave, and quartz countertops with a full-height backsplash, all set into shaker-style cabinetry.
The primary bedroom is a corner room with windows on two sides, leafy views and several closets. The second bedroom works as a guest room, a home office or extra sleeping space, and both bedrooms sit away from the main living area, which gives that second room some real separation. I'd look at how the second room's windows and closets suit your own setup before deciding.
Shared spaces include an elevator, a live-in superintendent, a laundry room, bike storage, additional storage and a courtyard garden. There's also a Butterfly virtual doorman system. The Nostrand Avenue station for the 3 train is about 7 minutes on foot, and Brower Park is about 4 minutes away.
The Brooklyn Museum is about 23 minutes on foot.
