The Jewel of Crown Heights
Sensationally spacious describes this two-bedroom, one-bath beauty located in the historic former Dearborn Hotel-long celebrated as The Jewel of Crown Heights. Spanning over 1,00o sqft and perched on the third floor with southeast exposures, the apartment is brilliantly drenched with natural light throughout the day.
A gracious foyer, currently being used as a home office, welcomes you into the airy, two-windowed living room with original hardwood floors. The adjacent windowed kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, butcher block counters, tiled backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher. Just off the kitchen, two grand bedrooms await. The expansive primary bedroom is a true retreat with three oversized windows, custom built-in bookshelves, new ceiling fan, and an extra-large closet. The palatial second bedroom offers versatility as a guest room, nursery, or home office.
The recently updated bathroom boasts chic tilework, a deep soaking tub, and stylish new lighting. Freshly painted walls, new fixtures, and refinished hardwood floors complete this perfect picture.
The Dearborn is a historic, pet-friendly elevator co-op that blends classic Brooklyn character with modern comforts. Amenities include a full-time live-in super, two porters, laundry facilities, bike storage, and rentable private storage. A landscaped courtyard offers a peaceful escape, while the lobby’s cast iron doors and carved ceilings recall its storied past as a former hotel for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Monthly maintenance is exceptionally low and includes heat, hot water, and electricity. With a liberal sublet policy-rentals permitted after three years of ownership for up to seven years-the building provides uncommon flexibility.
All of this in a prime location: just blocks from the 2/3/5 and B/Q trains, Prospect Park, the Zoo, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. On nearby Franklin Avenue, enjoy a vibrant mix of caf
