Property Description
What could be better than coming home to a 20' wide and 55' deep limestone on one of the most picturesque blocks in Crown Heights, with almost every period detail still intact? 887 Lincoln Place is an exceptional 2-family home on a 102' deep lot that is ready to be moved into as-is, or bring your contractor and make very minor customizations to create the trophy property of your dreams. Use this is a grand one-family, or live large on two floors and collect income from a top floor rental. This quiet one-way treelined street just a block off of Eastern Parkway offers convenience to the express subways (2/3/4 at Nostrand), in addition to Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum and the Botanic Gardens. You really can have it all and also enjoy the amazing array of nearby amenities including Union Market, award-winning restaurants, cafes and shops on Franklin, Bedford and Nostrand avenues.
Head up a grand stoop past a deep garden that affords this lovely home a great deal of street privacy, in addition to endless gardening opportunities. Distinguished by an ornate limestone facade with elegant fleur-de-lis detailing, a handsome cornice, oversized windows, and a decorative iron fence, the historic facade perfectly reflects the museum-quality period details that await inside. Prepare to fall in love with a massive parlor floor replete with mahogany fretwork; window, base and ceiling moldings; a Piers mirror; stained-glass transoms, inlaid nail-head floors; plaster picture moldings and ceiling medallions; and bay windows in both the front and the back. A uniquely deep layout affords the opportunity for a gracious living room, formal dining room, sunny eat-in kitchen, PLUS an additional guest room or home office all on one floor. There is even a renovated full bathroom on this level, the perfect accompaniment to the guest room. The renovated kitchen includes a vented stainless stove, painted black kitchen cabinetry, honed black granite countertops, stainless steel GE Café appliances, great storage and pantry space, plus a discretely placed full-sized vented washer and dryer. Due to the unique depth of this property, you will even enjoy windows in the center that bring light in all day and offer charming views of a landscaped and spacious backyard. Attention to both bluestone hardscaping and intricate planting beds allows just the right combination of hang-out space interspersed with the well-needed greenspace that only townhouse living provides. This floor and the bottom floor both have easy walkouts to the garden as well for the perfect indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
The garden floor is currently configured as a great room with a fully renovated full bathroom, plus an additional bedroom in the extension. It features exposed brick, wood floors, higher-than-normal ceilings, and great light. Use this as a primary suite and a living room, or reconfigure into three bedrooms if you only want to live on the bottom two floors. There is central AC on the parlor floor that could easily be expanded to the garden & top floors, if desired.
The elegant and spacious third floor includes three bedrooms and is also adorned with the same quality of original detail seen on the parlor floor; equally impressive ceiling heights; ornate mantles; and even better light with treetop views from the bedrooms. If you don't need the entire house, this floor also includes a kitchen and would make a practical income-generating 1-bedroom rental the kitchen is easily removable, or leave in as a kitchenette for convenience. Bedrooms are sunny and spacious and prepare to be astounded at the size of the primary suite that awaits.
A clean and dry cellar has unprecedented high ceilings and would make a groovy workshop or artist's studio. Storage is ample too. And of course don't miss the incredibly low taxes at just $550 month!
