Offered at $4,295,000

Located on one of Prospect Heights’ most beautiful tree-lined blocks, just moments from Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park, 291 Sterling Place is a 19-foot-wide Romanesque Revival brownstone built circa 1897, offering exceptional scale and original architectural detail.

Spanning approximately 3,902 square feet on a 19’ × 131’ lot, the home retains remarkable period craftsmanship including stained glass, intricate carved woodwork, original fireplaces, rich paneling, and beautifully preserved millwork.

Currently configured as a grand owner’s triplex above a garden-level apartment, the home offers both flexibility and classic brownstone living. The parlor floor features soaring 10.5-foot ceilings, elegant living and dining rooms, and stunning original details throughout.

The upper floors provide four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with a formal dining room and large eat-in kitchen, offering an ideal framework for modern living while preserving the home’s historic character.

The garden level includes a one-bedroom apartment with private entrance and garden access, ideal for guests, rental income, or extended living.

Set on a deep 131-foot lot, the property also offers a rarely found oversized garden and a dry cellar for storage or future potential.

Ideally positioned near Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Vanderbilt Avenue’s vibrant dining scene, 291 Sterling Place presents a rare opportunity to own a classic Brooklyn brownstone in one of the borough’s most desirable neighborhoods.
