The Story
Park Place runs its best stretch between Vanderbilt and Underhill, inside the Prospect Heights Historic District the city drew in 2009, and No. 287 is the kind of house the district was drawn for: a Renaissance Revival brownstone whose upper duplex kept nearly everything, pocket doors, pier mirrors, carved mantels, deep moldings, and then had its floors painted white by the creative couple who live in it.
The result reads like a working artist’s house rather than a staged one. A bedroom is papered yellow over a floor striped in mint, the library is stacked to the ceiling, the clawfoot bath keeps a stained-glass window, and the kitchen was rebuilt in black and wood around the original mantel instead of over it.
Inside
Five bedrooms and two baths across 2,581 square feet on the house’s upper floors, with a washer-dryer and a dishwasher tucked into the old fabric. Below, a deep garden runs to a hammock and a table strung with lights.
Offered at $16,000 a month, available September 1, two blocks from Grand Army Plaza and the 2/3.
