Today on My Brownstone: Crown Hts Vintage 1899
Today on My Brownstone, check out the beautiful two-family brownstone in Crown Heights that the current proud owners purchased back in July 2002. The first thing they focused on was making the garden an idyllic refuge–and a great place to sample some of the ample wine collection! Crown Heights 18.5-Footer [My Brownstone]

Crown Heights 18.5-Footer [My Brownstone]
I think you’re refering to my comment about Crown Heights being ‘other Brooklyn’. It’s odd because once you get past ‘other Brooklyn’ and find a Corcoran listing in Crown Heights they talk about what a great neighboorhood it is. I once emailed them about it and received no reply.
I’m commenting on what the Brownstone owner said about Crown Heights being called “other Brooklyn.” We bought a house in Crown Heights almost two years ago. I know prices have gone up in the neighborhood, but real estate brokers (e.g., Corcoran) still call it other Brooklyn. I’m offended that they can ask over a million dollars over here and than not refer to it as Crown Heights. The are not fooling anyone, and by keeping the neighborhood in this non-descript category they only prevent people from seeing it as a neighborhood one should want to live in. I complained to them about it when I saw one of their listings, and I was told that some brokers are trying to have this changed; really, Crown Heights deserves to have it’s name as one of the choices on their website. I think if enough people complain, it will change.
Im familiar w/the area…nice but can be kinda rough, though..Be careful, around Brower Park can be a bit dangerous especially in the evening.
Wonderful job…Hey, brownstoners if you’re interested in that area, there’s a brownstone on PShark in foreclosure…Lien’s not that high..Check it out the address is 1109 Park Place. Would jump on it mysel, but not quite ready financially:( Just wanted to share!
Stay cool…BABY, IT’S HOTTT OUT THERE!!

Nice to meet you, Cat.
Sorry to hear about you husband’s misfortunes in Brower Park. It’s a shame we have to be cautious of how we enjoy our resources.
Glad to hear about your success with tomatoes. We had none. As for ground cover to replace a lawn (great idea!) just plant a few species and stick with what survives.
Hi! We bought a house in 2003 right down the block from you — we’re on bergen/brooklyn. Be careful of Brower Park…my husband has been jumped there twice now 🙁
I love what you did with your garden…We have a large one as well, and have been experimenting with growing ground cover as a subsitute for grass, without much luck. We do have an excellent crop of tomatoes this year though 🙂 Congrats on your great work. – cat
Thanks for the praise. It helps a lot.
I like Astor Wines too. I have yet to discover Heights Chateau, but I’ll certainly check it out. Thanks for the lead.
The cement floor is the way we found it, so I can’t tell you who did it. It’s not in very good condition at the edges.
Furthermore, I love the look of the rough course granite, but the old mortar exfoliates onto the wine bottles and the floor. Not a big problem, but I may someday seal the walls somehow.
Hal,
if you’re still checking in here- who or how did you do your cement floors, they are exactly what I want in the cellar but i’ve only found one cement “specialist” who does them and I just don’t know where esle to look.
thanks
That picture makes me feel like drinkin some wine. Yeehaw!
