This new listing at 90 Sterling Place just hit the market with an asking price of $985,000. It’s a floor-through apartment in a North Slope brownstone that manages to pack in three bedrooms — a sub-optimal configuration in our opinion but, given prices these days, a practical move. It’s got some nice original details (most notably a pair of marble fireplaces) but has undergone a renovation that leaves us a little limp.

Nothing major to complain about — just a bunch of small decisions not totally gelling, such as the recessed lighting in the kitchen, the exposed brick in the dining area, and the lack of crown molding in the living room. The place appears to be in good shape, though, and you gotta love the location.

  1. If this had three good sized rooms, it would be 200K more. I think for family that needs defined rooms this is a pretty workable layout. One room is small, one is average, and one is tiny. I’m guess this is on the second floor so not a killer in terms of stairs. Good location. Lack of amenities is average for brownstone brooklyn. Maintenance is decent. School is premier but again I think the price reflects these shortcomings.

  2. I have friends (two roommates) who live in an apartment with the identical layout and size as this one just a few blocks down, on prime Garfield Place off 6th Avenue, and they are paying only $3,700/mo. with heat and hot water included. Moved there last September. They use it as a two bedroom plus home office/guest room, works really well.
