16 Virginia Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

Property Description

Step through the original double doors, with their etched glass panels still catching the afternoon light, and you're standing in a hallway that has welcomed families to this block for well over a century. Climb the stairs and a stained-glass skylight overhead washes the landing in color, a detail builders don't put in houses anymore. This legal two-family townhouse offers over 3,200 square feet across three floors and a full basement, with a parlor floor wrapped in original wood wainscoting, a marble mantel fireplace, pocket doors, tin ceilings, and tall double-hung windows throughout. Upstairs, the eat-in kitchen still carries its own vintage character, and bedrooms and living spaces sprawl across the second and third floors, including a 25-foot living room and a family room built for gathering.The house sits on Virginia Place, one of Crown Heights North's storied "private place" enclaves, originally designed in the Colonial Revival style to complement the street's name, and now part of the landmarked Crown Heights North III Historic District.None of it has been touched by a flip. Every original detail, the stained glass, the millwork, the mantels, the tin ceilings, is intact and waiting for someone who sees what this house could become rather than what it currently is. Priced as a fixer upper, 16 Virginia Place is a chance to restore a home that still remembers what it was built to be. Bring your vision and let this house tell its next chapter.
