Garden-View Prewar Studio with Windowed Chef’s Kitchen | Crown Heights, Brooklyn

Some studios feel like a compromise. This one doesn’t.

960 Sterling Place, Apt# 1N is a prewar studio in Crown Heights that’s been renovated with real care, and it shows in every room. It sits on a raised first floor looking out over the building’s garden, so you get green views and privacy at the same time.

Let’s start with the kitchen, because that’s where you’ll want to be. It’s windowed, it’s eat-in, and it’s built for cooking: gray Caesarstone counters, clean white cabinetry with tons of storage, warm teak shelves lit from underneath, a SMEG range, a Bosch dishwasher, and a filtered water tap. The cork floor is a quiet luxury you’ll appreciate after an hour at the stove.

The living space is generous, with oak parquet and mahogany inlays original to the building, plus arched doorways and plaster ceilings that give it real character. There’s room for a queen bed, a full sectional, and a proper desk without anything feeling crammed.

Between the two, a dressing hall gives you closet space most studios can’t offer. It leads to a bright, windowed bath with white subway tile, a sage green penny tile floor, matte black fixtures, and a deep tub.

The building is well-kept and has a real sense of community: a landscaped garden with a barbecue and plenty of seating, laundry, bike storage, and a smartphone video intercom. Subletting is permitted, which gives you flexibility down the road.

Come see it in person. It’s even better than the photos. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
