Description

882 Park Place offers a rare opportunity to reside in and shape a soulful Brooklyn brownstone-a stately 4-story Renaissance Revival limestone home rooted in the architectural heritage of Crown Heights, with generous proportions, original details, and four fireplaces, complete with an income-producing garden-level residence, all set on an exceptionally deep 135-foot lot in a sought-after enclave of Historic Crown Heights.

Enter through the dark wood-paneled vestibule into a gracious entry hall, where carved millwork, parquet flooring, and coffered ceiling details set the tone for the home's scale and character. The parlor floor stretches the full depth of the house, with a spacious great room anchored by a tiled fireplace and mantel, a beautiful front bay window, and classic pocket doors. To the rear, the open kitchen has been lovingly restored, featuring stained glass, exposed brick, warm wood cabinetry, and a gas range. A dining area sits alongside, taking in soft south-facing light throughout the day, and opens directly to a rear deck with stairs leading to the expansive garden, creating a natural indoor-outdoor connection.

Traveling up the artfully crafted wood staircase with carved balusters, the second floor unfolds as a comfortable private level. Here, two bedrooms and a full bathroom offer flexibility and scale. The primary bedroom spans the full width of the home and includes a walk-in closet and sitting area framed by bay windows. The second bedroom features an oriel extension and a decorative fireplace with meaningful potential for restoration. The bathroom continues the home's character with stained glass accents and custom millwork cabinetry.

The top floor opens into a luminous studio space, with higher ceilings than typically found on a top-level, a sweeping bay window, and a skylight that draw in light throughout the day-ideal for art, writing, or quiet work. Currently configured as two bedrooms and a full bathroom, this inspiring and flexible level is the ultimate blank canvas to suit your imagination.

Stepping outside, the extra-deep garden is a rare find, made possible by the 135-foot lot. This leafy sanctuary reflects the current owners' love of foliage and slow, intentional outdoor living. The depth allows for distinct outdoor zones, giving the garden-level apartment its own private area while the owner's triplex enjoys a quiet, green retreat for dining, gathering, and summer evenings under the trees. There is plenty of room here to shape the outdoor space to your own vision over time.

On the garden level is a charming, renovated one-bedroom floor-through with a flexible layout, sun-filled kitchen, its own fireplace with a stove insert, in-unit washer/dryer, and direct access to its dedicated garden space. With its private entrance below the stoop, it is well-positioned for strong rental income from day one or functions beautifully as a guest suite, studio, or extended living space.
The semi-finished cellar offers higher-than-average ceilings, slate tile flooring, updated mechanical systems, and a dedicated washer/dryer for the owner's use. It works naturally as storage, a gym, workshop, or creative workroom, and extends to the front of the building for flexibility of future use.

Located on a quiet, tree-lined block of brownstones with extra-wide sidewalks, Park Place is part of a select stretch of Crown Heights with extra-deep lots, creating a rare sense of openness behind the homes. Just moments away, Franklin and Nostrand Avenues offer some of the neighborhood's most loved coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and bars, including Bien Cuit, Choice Market, Colina Cuervo, Cotton Bean, Ursula, Chavela's, Aita, Taqueria Mileo, Bar Corvo, Drink, and King Thai. Brower Park and the Brooklyn Children's Museum are nearby, and multiple subway options (Nostrand Av A/C, Franklin Ave 2/3/4/5, and the Park Place Shuttle) provide easy access to Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn.
