The Dearborn, 345 Montgomery Street, #4P View on Map

This home is a large, airy, painstakingly restored and renovated true 2 bedroom apartment in an elegant, meticulously maintained resident-owned pre-war gem of a building a short commute to Manhattan and a few blocks from the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, with Prospect Park, the Zoo, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Public Library a few blocks beyond. The apartment consists of a generous entry foyer, a large living room with dining area, an eat-in windowed kitchen, two large bedrooms and a bath. The primary bedroom has exposures on two sides.

All the walls have been restored or re-built, the floors sanded, and the original art-deco moldings, door- and window-trim and picture rail restored or re-created. The kitchen and bath were both gut renovated with newly leveled floor-joists, flooring and plumbing.
The renovated kitchen includes a Frigidaire 5-burner stove, Samsung french-door refrigerator, Moen sink faucet, approximately 20 running feet of floor-to-ceiling Thomasville cabinetry in a whiskey finish for a craftsman feel, and a dark granite countertop with rich translucent tones of blue, green and black. The ceramic floor tiles with organic (not digitally printed) color variations mimic a slate feel.

An antique silver gloss tin backsplash tile finishes the look.
The bathroom includes a new tub with sliding glass doors and is fully enclosed to prevent spills, a new eco-flush toilet and Thomasville granite-topped vanity. For a classic look, wall tiles with a saturated color-glaze, bright and luminous, with a hand-painted feel, were selected. Completing the classic look, the new floor is finished with vintage black and white hexagonal tiles.
345 Montgomery Street, known as The Dearborn, is a magnificent 1928 gem known as the Jewel of Crown Heights.

Located near Crown Heights’ border with Prospect-Lefferts Garden, it is a solid, well cared-for, blocklong pet-friendly six story apartment building with two new elevators, a live-in super and a porter, a garden courtyard, a grand lobby with carved ceilings and cast-iron entryways, and features a ground-floor laundry. New windows throughout all apartments. Extra storage and bike storage are available. Electricity is included in the very moderate maintenance, a significant benefit during air-conditioning season.

After three years of residence, subletting with board approval is allowed for seven years.
There is a building assessment of $120 per month for Apartment 4P thru 3/1/27.
