Herringbone parquet runs floor to floor. A carved wood staircase, deep wainscoting, and a decorative brick mantel anchor the parlor level, framed by stained-glass transoms that throw color across the floor by afternoon. The dining room opens straight into an updated kitchen, stainless appliances against warm cherry cabinetry and a breakfast bar for two, all set beneath an exposed-brick archway that speaks to the house's age without asking the owner to live in a museum. Upstairs, bedrooms come dressed in period colors and modern comfort, with ceiling fans, deep closets, and garden and skyline views through original window casings. One bedroom holds a rounded bay at the front of the house, a window seat tucked into the curve, the kind of architectural gesture rowhouses of this vintage rarely give up. Two full baths retain their original palette, butter yellow in one, coral and black Art Deco tile in the other, a canvas for the next owner ready to bring their own hand to the finish work. The lower level opens into a wood-paneled family room with a walkout to the yard, space enough for a media room, a guest suite, or a home office that never has to double as anything else. Out back, a deep, fully fenced garden holds mature shade trees, a dining table, and a quiet sitting area, private acreage that most Brooklyn addresses can only promise on paper. This stretch of Sterling Place sits inside the Crown Heights North II Historic District, a corridor of limestone and brownstone rowhouses that Brooklyn has chosen, deliberately, to protect. Tree canopy overhead. Stoops that still get used. Neighbors who know each other's names. The 3 train waits at Kingston Avenue, the 2 and 5 at President Street, and the Franklin Avenue Shuttle links the block to four more lines in minutes. Franklin Avenue and Nostrand Avenue carry the daily rhythm: coffee counters, wine bars, a Nigerian kitchen, an Italian table, a farm stand on Saturdays. The Brooklyn Museum, the Botanic Garden, and Prospect Park sit within easy reach for the walker who wants green space and culture in the same afternoon. 897 Sterling Place offers a legal four-story one-family in a protected historic district, with original architectural character intact from the staircase to the stained glass, a finished lower level, and a backyard built for real entertaining. Interior photographs have been virtually staged. Furnishings shown do not reflect the home's current furnishings. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Beds**: 6 - **Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 10 - **Sqft**: 3,006 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Price per Sqft**: $797 - **Monthly Taxes**: $516 / mo - **Listed On**: Sep 14, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - See Remarks - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft ## Buying in a new development? Before you visit the sales gallery, understand the broker registration rule. In many buildings the sponsor will only compensate a buyer’s broker who accompanied you on your first visit or registered you in writing beforehand. The sales team you meet at the door works for the developer, and once you have toured on your own that introduction is very hard to undo.

This home is asking $2,395,000, $395,001 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,500,000 and $2,385,000. - **Median closed price**: $1,999,999 - **Middle half**: $1,500,000 – $2,385,000 - **Based on**: 21 house sales in Crown Heights - **Period**: September 2021 – September 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $714/ft² Across the 20 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.9% of what it originally asked. 70% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Crown Heights. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 94.9% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 70% of 20 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 79 days (about 11 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 49 days (about 7 weeks) Across the 20 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.9% of what it originally asked. 70% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 79 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 19 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 49 days (about 7 weeks), based on the 19 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 21 house sales in Crown Heights, September 2021 – September 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The New York City and New York State transfer taxes are the seller’s in a resale and are passed to the purchaser in most offering plans, and the sponsor’s attorney fee and any working capital contribution sit on top of that. Together they commonly add 2% or more of the purchase price. - [Estimate these costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/new-development-closing-cost-calculator) - [What sponsor buyers pay](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-development-closing-costs-nyc) - [More new developments](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-developments) ## Crown Heights Overview of Crown Heights [Explore Crown Heights](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/brooklyn/crown-heights) · [All Neighborhoods](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods) ### Nearby Crown Heights - [Prospect Heights real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/brooklyn/prospect-heights) - [Prospect Park real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/brooklyn/prospect-park) - [Brownsville real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/brooklyn/brownsville) - [East Flatbush real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/brooklyn/east-flatbush) ## Related Links - [892 Sterling Place — building page](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/buildings/new-york-city/brooklyn/892-sterling-place) - [Crown Heights neighborhood guide](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/brooklyn/crown-heights) - [Estimate your Buyer Commission Share and closing costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/buyer-closing-cost-calculator) - [Contact Régis Roumila](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/contact) --- > RLS IDX Data display by Real Estate Rebate Team.
