The ornate two-family townhouse at 882 Park Place possesses an impressive collection of the covetable details this historic neighborhood’s homes are known for, in addition to being blessed with one of its deep 135-foot lots, giving it a park-sized backyard. The four-story Renaissance Revival limestone residence is a spacious blank canvas of original details, including four fireplaces. Asking $2,850,000, the home consists of a garden-level apartment with a triplex above.
A dark wood-paneled entry hall welcomes you to the parlor floor. The home’s most formal level is framed by carved millwork, intricate parquet flooring, and a tall, coffered ceiling. Through classic pocket doors is a large great room enhanced by a bay window.
A renovated kitchen complements the home’s petina with features like stained glass, exposed brick, wood cabinets, and a classic gas range. The adjacent dining area is bathed in southern light; at the rear, a door opens onto a deck overlooking (and accessing) the seemingly endless garden below.
On the second floor, you’ll find two bedrooms and a full bath. A floor-through primary bedroom gets a sunny sitting area framed by bay windows and a walk-in closet. The second chamber has an oriel extension and a decorative fireplace.
The home’s top level is currently configured with two bedrooms and a full bath. In its current form, this sun-filled space is perfect for an art studio or atelier, with a dramatic bay window and a skylight.
The property’s extra-deep garden is made possible by a 135-foot lot, the likes of which the Crown Heights neighborhood is known for. The extra space means freedom to split up your outdoor paradise into separate activity or planting areas, as well as allowing privacy for residents in the garden-floor flat.
The home’s garden floor offers a renovated one-bedroom floor-through. The kitchen has a fireplace with a stove insert and access to the back garden, and there is an in-unit washer/dryer. A private entrance makes it perfect for a rental unit or guest suite.
A semi-finished cellar has slate tile flooring, updated mechanical systems, and a second washer/dryer. There’s plenty of room for a home gym, workshop, or mega-storage space…
