    Overview

    Built in 1881 and designed in Neo Grec style, 165 Saint Johns Place is a 22-foot wide, 5-story corner brownstone. The building is configured as five floor-through apartments and will be delivered vacant. Interiors are supported by 54 windows with south, east, and west exposure, creating natural light across the home. The parlor floor features ceilings over 12 feet, and a range of original period details are noted, including the newel post and staircase, carved woodwork, pier mirrors, encaustic tile floors, pocket doors, plaster medallions, crown moldings, tin ceilings, and marble fireplace mantles. The garden level steps out at grade to a large backyard measuring approximately 44 feet deep and 28 feet across. The basement runs along the perimeter with stately brick arches.

    The property is located in the Park Slope Landmark District and is described as close to Park Slope restaurants, shopping, and amenities, with Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park, and the Farmer’s Market nearby. Public remarks also note the 2/3/B/Q subway lines are about a block away.

    For tenants or buyers seeking a multi-unit residential income property, the five floor-through layout offers multiple levels of living space within one historic corner asset, along with exterior access to a sizable yard. Its window-rich, triple-exposure configuration and perimeter basement may appeal to a range of residential operating or conversion plans, including single-family or condominium-style scenarios, subject to applicable approvals.
