Overview

This 20-unit, four-story brick apartment building is configured as a walk-up and offers a mix of apartment sizes. The unit mix includes six four-bedroom units, eight three-bedroom units, four studio apartments, and two one-bedroom units, with layouts designed to accommodate a range of household needs. The property is self-managed, providing an owner-operated management structure.

Located at 685 Sterling Place in Brooklyn, the building sits on the border of Crown Heights and Prospect Heights. Public remarks note convenience to public transportation as well as nearby shopping and dining options, along with access to Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Museum.

For buyers or operators seeking a multifamily asset with varied unit types, the current rent roll reflects 12 rent-stabilized units, one rent-controlled/contract unit, and seven free-market units. This mix can be appealing for ownership models that value in-place residential income alongside flexibility to manage each unit class over time. The larger apartment sizes may also support tenant demand from households looking for more space within a walk-up building format.
