Brooklyn has no shortage of historic brownstones, but freestanding mansions of this caliber are in a league of their own.
Now listed for $3,845,000, 1094 Park Place is one of the borough’s most significant surviving Queen Anne residences, offering a rare opportunity to own a landmark home that has retained much of its original character while embracing thoughtful modern updates.
Located within the Crown Heights North Historic District, the residence is represented by Douglas Elliman agents Alexander Boriskin, Michael Lorber, Jared Halpern, and Jorge Barrios.
Designed by noted architect Henry B. Moore at the turn of the twentieth century, the Brooklyn home occupies an extraordinary 52-foot-wide by 120-foot-deep parcel — a scale that’s increasingly uncommon anywhere in New York City.
The generous grounds allow the residence to stand proudly on its own, giving it a presence rarely associated with urban living.
Its exterior immediately sets it apart.
A sweeping wraparound porch, distinctive turret, intricate wood detailing, and richly textured façade embody the exuberance of Queen Anne architecture, creating one of the neighborhood’s most recognizable historic homes.
Step inside, and the craftsmanship continues at every turn.
Soaring ceilings, original stained-glass windows, hand-carved woodwork, decorative fireplaces, beautifully preserved hardwood floors, and a stately grand staircase speak to an era when homes were built as lasting works of art.
Many of these defining features remain remarkably intact, allowing the residence to retain the architectural personality that has distinguished it for more than a century.
Rather than freezing the home in time, however, its restoration carefully balanced preservation with everyday livability.
Updated mechanical systems, central air conditioning, renovated bathrooms, and a thoughtfully designed chef’s kitchen introduce the conveniences expected of a modern luxury residence without compromising the home’s historic integrity.
The result is a house that feels equally suited to contemporary family life and elegant entertaining.
Natural light fills the approximately 3,903-square-foot interior, where formal and informal living spaces flow comfortably from one room to the next.
Four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms provide generous accommodations, while the home’s original architectural details lend warmth and individuality to nearly every space.
Outside, the property offers another rarity for Brooklyn: expansive landscaped grounds that create a genuine sense of retreat in the middle of the city.
Mature plantings and generous outdoor space provide room for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon — luxuries seldom associated with historic urban homes.
Private off-street parking adds yet another feature that’s increasingly difficult to find in the borough.
The location is equally compelling.
Situated near Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, Brower Park, neighborhood cafés and restaurants, and multiple transit options, the home combines architectural significance with easy access to many of Brooklyn’s most celebrated destinations.
Landmark homes come to market from time to time, but relatively few combine historical importance, meticulous restoration, substantial grounds, and modern comfort as successfully as 1094 Park Place.
For buyers seeking a residence with genuine architectural pedigree, it represents an opportunity to become the next steward of one of Brooklyn’s enduring residential treasures.
