Rental of the Day: A Classic Six on Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights

by

This is a large apartment with a fairly large price tag. Located at 255 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, in the Woodrow Wilson, it’s a classic six that measures 1,440 square feet, renting for $5,000 a month.

As you’d ask from a prewar classic six, it’s nicely laid out, with a generous living room, dining room and master bedroom. There’s quite a large foyer as well, which a resourceful tenant may find a way to utilize; at the least it makes for a stately entrance.

The kitchen is a bit narrow, but it opens up into the dining room, which helps.

There are three bedrooms, the smallest roughly 7 feet by 12 feet. There are two baths, a lot of closets, and a washer-dryer.

It’s on the top floor, which means good light, no neighbors tromping overhead, and likely some nice views of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden across the street. On the subject of light: Each bedroom has only a single window, and the one in the pictured master bedroom is modest in size.

The Woodrow Wilson is a classic Eastern Parkway Art Deco prewar building, with a nice marble lobby, a doorman, a live-in super, a porter, and landscaped gardens.

All told, the apartment, listed by Tracey McClean of Corcoran, would make a fine residence for a family, but it requires one able and willing to pay a hefty $5,000 a month in rent. Worth it?
