Instantly recognizable from the street for its rounded turret and Spanish clay-tiled roof, the townhouse at 1094 Park Place is among the iconic mansions that give Crown Heights its appeal. The beautifully preserved home has another covetable feature unique to the Brooklyn neighborhood: a deep 120-foot lot for a back yard that stretches farther than most. Asking $3,845,000, this landmarked home is ready for 21st-century living behind its stunning original details and standout facade.


Designed by Brooklyn architect Henry B. Moore at the turn of the 20th century, the single-family home was listed earlier this year for just under $4 million, as Curbed reported. Last summer, it hit the market as a rental for $13,950/month.
The property is fronted by a wide wrap-around porch. Inside, stained-glass windows and intricately carved woodwork surround a sweeping center stair.



Generously proportioned rooms open beneath high beamed ceilings. An elegant front parlor provides entertaining space; within the rounded turret, gently curving windows and preserved wood floors create a sense of timelessness. A thoroughly modern eat-in kitchen invites gathering; a formal dining room is surrounded by the elegance of another era.



Behind the kitchen, step out onto a deck overlooking the yard. Below, garden pathways wind through lush plantings and mature trees. At the back, take shelter in a shaded pergola.



There are two floors of bedrooms. The home’s top floor holds a suitably elegant primary suite, with a large, sunny sitting room that takes full advantage of the home’s unique architecture. There’s also a dressing room and a washer/dryer on this floor.
A full basement adds a wealth of options. With a kitchen, play space, and gym, it becomes a wellness refuge, guest quarters, or party central.


At the side of the house, a sweeping drive offers the rare perk of off-street parking, topped by a covered carport. A planted garden in front adds privacy as well as beauty.
