This beautiful, spacious 3 bedroom 1 bath coop feels incredibly welcoming, due to the stylish improvements and artisanal elements found throughout. It is located in a well-maintained and elegant 19th century limestone coop on Sterling Place, one of the loveliest, leafiest blocks in prime Prospect Heights.
The apartment has a bright, open plan kitchen/ dining/ living room. The sunny living room has windows looking out onto the trees of Sterling Place, and shelving made from cast iron brackets holding reclaimed wood from an Amish barn. The dining area is large enough for entertaining guests and has a pendant light from West Elm.
The kitchen was fully renovated in 2012. The island provides plenty of workspace for you to show off your culinary talents, and on the living room side has added storage and room for stools so you can chat while you cook. The countertops are natural Soapstone, and the lighting is by Schoolhouse Electric. Floor to ceiling Mission cabinets made of maple in a white linen finish, and built-in Amish barn-wood shelves utilize every inch of space. There is a Bosch dishwasher, a KitchenAid refrigerator and convection oven/microwave, and a new Samsung stove, all in stainless steel.
Also fully renovated in 2012, the bathroom features a deep Kohler soaking tub, Grohe and Kohler fixtures, a Restoration Hardware medicine cabinet, Schoolhouse Electric lighting, and porcelain towel rods.
All three bedrooms are of good size and have custom-built California Closets and custom-fitted blackout shades. The master bedroom (and the living room) have stylish Matt Alford Studio sconces. Shelves were built in the hallway closet to create extra storage capacity. The two cobalt blue light fixtures in the hallway are artisan-made ceramic pendants. All the floors in the apartment were refinished in 2018.
436 Sterling Place is a well-run, well-maintained building. Each unit comes with a designated storage unit in the basement. The laundry room was redone in 2019 with new, high-capacity machines. There is ample bike storage and stroller/scooter/cart parking. The lobby, renovated in late 2018, is a pleasure to come home to. Small pets are allowed subject to board approval.
The coop is in an ideal location close to all the neighborhood has to offer Prospect Park, Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Gardens, Grand Army Plaza and the Greenmarket, multiple train lines, and the numerous restaurants, bars and shops on Vanderbilt, Washington, and Franklin Aves. Close to 2,3,4,5,B,Q trains.
