About This Home
Nestled along a storybook tree-lined block in Crown Heights, 189 Crown Street is a rare and captivating cottage-style home that blends timeless elegance with modern ease. A proud winner of the Brooklyn Greenest Block award, this residence stands as a testament to classic beauty and architectural distinction. Designed by noted architect Arthur G. Carlson, this four-bedroom, two-bath home with a renovated basement and a spacious, remote-accessed two-car garage is a true gem in one of Brooklyn s most sought-after neighborhoods. From the moment you step inside, you re welcomed into a space where charm and character unfold at every turn. The sun-drenched parlor floor living room features original hardwood parquet floors and soaring ceilings, anchored by a working brick fireplace that invites evenings of warmth, laughter, and connection. Beveled glass pocket doors reveal a stately formal dining room where coffered wood-beam ceilings, antique lighting medallions, intricate wainscoting, and custom glass cabinetry evoke a rich sense of history and sophistication. The thoughtfully designed kitchen offers Corian countertops, ceramic tile backsplash, ample windowed cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances with direct access to the backyard, perfect for open-air dining and gatherings beneath the trees. Upstairs, a luminous stained-glass skylight casts a soft glow over four well-proportioned bedrooms, with lovely southern and northern exposures. One room currently serves as an extended sitting space, offering flexibility, while a restored hallway walk-through closet lined in floor-to-ceiling walnut includes drawers, shelving, a working sink, and a vintage lighted vanity blending function with period elegance. The full bath on this level is accented by a skylight, creating a serene space for daily rituals. Rear bedrooms offer tranquil garden views, while the front rooms enjoy the bright southern light over the lush front yard. The fully finished lower level, with its private entrance, two additional means of egress, a full bathroom, kitchenette, washer/dryer hookups, and generous storage, is ideal for guests, creative use, or multi-generational living. Every inch of this home whispers of thoughtful restoration and care, marrying original details with the practical upgrades today s homeowner needs. Set in a vibrant and walkable neighborhood just minutes from the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanic Garden, Prospect Park, Medgar Evers College, and local favorites like The Mayfield, Sweet Basil, Joenise, and Winner on Franklin, this home offers both peace and connection. With easy access to the 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains, Manhattan is just moments away. 189 Crown Street is not simply a home it s a living legacy, a place where history, comfort, and community converge.
