All too often in Brooklyn, new residential development tends to come at the expense of the historic architecture that put the borough on the map in the first place. However, The Twine on Park Place combined two landmarked, five-story townhouses into one boutique condominium connected by a single keyed elevator. 218 Park Place is an Italianate/Second Empire brownstone built in 1881, 220 Park Place is a Queen Anne brick house built in 1884, and both townhouses now share a common front courtyard.
Duplex interiors
Dining area and kitchen
No two apartments have the exact same layout, but all enjoy keyed elevator access, Marvin windows, white oak flooring, virtual doorman service, and high-speed ethernet access with multiple access points. High-end kitchens come outfitted with custom white oak cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances. Baths feature floor-to-ceiling tile, Hansgrohe fixtures, and radiant heated floors. Many units have private outdoor space.
Kitchen overlooking a private terrace
The Twine on Park Place is located on an idyllic, tree-lined block, albeit one that enjoys excellent access to local points of interest. Grand Army Plaza is a few blocks down the street. Barclays Center and its myriad subway lines are a bit further up, but that may not be necessary - the building is well situated between the 7th Avenue B/Q and the Grand Army Plaza 2 /3 subway stops. It is also surrounded by historic townhouses and many popular restaurants. Fausto, Hungry Ghost, Sweet Chick, Joyce Bakeshop, James, Faun, and Four and Twenty Blackbirds are among the nearby establishments offering takeout for a taste of normalcy in these troubled times.
Views as seen from #3W's roof deck
At this point, the combination of Old World architecture and modern infrastructure has proven irresistible - the two units on the market have entered contract. Apartment #2W is a two-bedroom full-floor unit with a private terrace, and #3W is a three-bedroom duplex with a private roof terrace. The average price of $1,630 per square foot puts it well above the Prospect Heights average of $1,197 per square foot (per CityRealty data).
A pair of offering plans, one for each building in the development, was accepted in September 2018. 218 Park Place’s listed a $7.25 million sellout price, and the one for 220 Park Place has a $9.35 million sellout price.
