Others are defined by their character. At 399 Sterling Place, the original details tell the story. Set on a beautiful, tree-lined block in Prospect Heights, this four-story townhouse is ready for its next chapter, offering a rare opportunity to restore a home with remarkable architectural character. Spanning approximately 3,920 square feet, including the basement, the property measures 17.42 feet wide and sits on an exceptionally deep 131-foot lot. Configured as a legal three-family residence, the home offers an impressive footprint and room to explore a variety of possibilities. Its historic façade and original stoop offer a glimpse of what awaits inside: intricate moldings, decorative fireplace mantels, detailed woodwork, substantial paneled doors, and soaring ceilings. These are the kinds of details that give a Brooklyn townhouse its identity, and here, they remain the starting point for what comes next. The possibilities are considerable. Reimagine the property as an impressive single-family home, create a generous owner's residence with additional rental income, or explore a restored three-family configuration. With four full stories and a flexible existing layout, the next owner has the opportunity to shape the house around their own vision. Beyond the property, Prospect Heights offers a lively mix of dining, culture, and green space. Local restaurants include Panca BK, Fausto, and Gertrude's, while Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden are all nearby. The 2, 3, B, and Q trains provide convenient access to the rest of Brooklyn and Manhattan. For the buyer who appreciates the craftsmanship of an earlier era and understands the potential of a great townhouse, 399 Sterling Place is an opportunity to create something truly lasting. Bring your architect, bring your contractor, and imagine what this house could become. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Beds**: 4 - **Baths**: 4 - **Rooms**: 11 - **Sqft**: 3,764 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1901 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,061 - **Monthly Taxes**: $890 / mo - **Listed On**: Nov 4, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 2 Days ### Residence Features - See Remarks ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$21,091 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($799,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.
