Why the Owner Chose Brooklyn
We chose to live in Crown Heights, Brooklyn because of it's undeniable charm, and convenient access to Manhattan.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
You'll be carried back to the early 1900s as soon as you set foot inside our house. Great care has been taken to preserve and restore all of the pre-war details including stain glass windows, intricate woodwork, parquet floors, original moldings and early 1900 chandeliers. Homemade banana bread and a cupboard stocked with Brooklyn Roasted Gorilla coffee awaits you. You'll find a sanctuary in here, listening to the waterfall in the backyard after an aromatherapy bubble bath. You'll be privy to all of our personal favorite activities in the neighborhood and we'll hook you up with just about anything you need, since we live just downstairs. Satellite TV with over 150 channels including 30 movie channels, DVD player and DVD library are all set for when you need to unwind.
