Crown Heights Cottage – Timeless Appeal with Substantial Recent Upgrades Set beneath a mature shade tree on one of the most attractive blocks in historic Crown Heights, this stone cottage offers classic architectural character in a tranquil, natural setting. Its appeal is further enhanced by recent bathroom renovations, selective interior updates, and meaningful system improvements. Period details include a working wood-burning fireplace and original hardwood floors, refinished in 2026. The layout provides adaptable living spaces that balance openness with quieter retreat. The primary bathroom, fully renovated in 2024, features porcelain tile flooring, Toto fixtures, California Faucets hardware, and custom cabinetry. The secondary bath includes a newly built shower (2026) with tile accents that complement the home’s original stained-glass detail. Both spaces feature updated ventilation and fixtures. The kitchen maintains a classic black-and-white aesthetic, with integrated laundry and updated cabinetry. High-quality lighting throughout the home further enhance functionality and character. Major systems have been extensively addressed, including a new ductwork system in 2024, updates to the furnace and other HVAC components, the water heater, and significant plumbing improvements—reducing many of the typical uncertainties associated with homes of this vintage. Natural light is a defining element. Large historic windows wrap the front living spaces and original stone sunroom. Light sources throughout the house shift over the day, with notably warm evening light. The backyard is designed for ease and use, with a fire pit, patio, low-maintenance turf grass, and seasonal gravel landscaping. Framed by surrounding trees yet open to the sky, the private yard has an expansive feel with active birdlife. Well-suited to quiet use or entertaining. A detached two-car garage to be sold in as is condition.
