House of the Day: 421 Sterling Place
We’re digging this limestone house that just hit the market at 421 Sterling Place, and we suspect that house hunters with a thing for original detail will too. The woodwork on the parlor floor is particularly impressive, and the 131-foot-deep lot makes for a killer backyard. The only real negative (for some buyers, anyway) is…
We’re digging this limestone house that just hit the market at 421 Sterling Place, and we suspect that house hunters with a thing for original detail will too. The woodwork on the parlor floor is particularly impressive, and the 131-foot-deep lot makes for a killer backyard. The only real negative (for some buyers, anyway) is that the house has only three stories. Then again the price tag would likely be quite a bit higher than $1,699,000 if that weren’t the case. You liking it?

So regarding Prospect Heights, what do all you consider the “prime” areas/streets that could command prices like these? I’ve lived in the neighborhood for about 2 years now (on Carlton btwn St. Marks and Prospect Place) and am always curious what others consider the creme de la creme of our small ‘hood….
“Ishtar” means “pigeon” in Turkish.
(just kidding)
I mean “causes.”
I propose a moratorium on the use of the word “basement.”
It caused too much confusion and error.
There is a “garden-level” and there is a “cellar” beneath the gardern-level.
All in favor…?
Fjorder,
I agree with you that this is a very decent location and that it will probably be a very nice location in 10 years, but…
Are you saying that the broker’s statement that this home is “on one of the most coveted tree-lined blocks in Prospect Heights” is credible?
Mea Culpa. The “Cellar” was off limits. The Garden Floor had a crappy kitchen.
The house is set up as a one family, easily converted to a 2 family, and is zoned as a 3 family.
For 1.3M I might consider it.
FWIW I grew up in NYC, am the same dottering ancient age as DIBS and never heard the basement vs cellar Brownstoner verncular brfore.
“I should be working but I’m posting here.”
Ha, ha. Couldn’t we all say that?
we agree too disagee, cool.
1. the home will for 1.3M or so.
2. Pigeon and Ishtar are the same poster.
3. I am lying about #2 to get a rise out of these two.
4. I should be working but I’m posting here.
Just read that 62 Cranberry Street sold for 6.2 million making it the highest residential sales price in Brooklyn Heights of the year.
