Developer Brookland Capital gut renovated a castle-like multifamily building with turrets at 875 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, and transformed it into six condos that hit the market yesterday, according to Curbed. Inside, most of the house’s original detail is gone, but the condos have a bit of old-fashioned charm in restored stained glass windows, exposed brick, bay window dining nooks and new herringbone floors.

Asking prices start at $449,000 for a 560-square-foot one-bedroom and go as high as $659,000 for a 1,327-square-foot one-bedroom, two-bath duplex. Three of the units also have terraces.

Brookland bought the seven-unit apartment house last February for $1,400,000. Designed by Langston & Dahlander, the 3,872-square-foot building was constructed in 1891.

  1. Wow! I remember just a few years ago touring this house with the previous owner . This grand house had wonderful detail that would make any preservationist happy. It was really like walking on the set of Downton Abbey the Brooklyn version. Just have to say Architects that studied history can be your friend!

  2. I’m sure it was a great house. the reno is horrific.
    Nothing worse than a kitchen along a living room wall. I find that so un appealing, and can’t imagine why people live with this. It is a terrible trend.
    The blue cabinets were a terrible choice, and what is with the arrangement of the bedroom windows, they are windows?
