A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 176 Sterling Place would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
176 Sterling Place is a 1906 Beaux-Arts apartment building designed by Henry Pohlmann for developer Louis Bonnert. Its twelve-residence cooperative combines a protected prewar exterior with an unusually practical energy upgrade: solar installations supporting common-area electricity and hot-water production.
The property joined the Park Slope Historic District through the second extension in 2016. It occupies a four-story form on Sterling Place between Seventh and Flatbush avenues, close to the northern edge of Park Slope. A shared roof deck gives the association common outdoor space in addition to the private garden accommodation below.
Architecture and unit composition
The Beaux-Arts facade reflects the early-twentieth-century apartment-house development of this block. The interiors include conventional one-level homes, garden accommodation and larger combinations. Standard apartments have recorded areas around 800 to 900 square feet, while combined residences can approach twice that size.
Period details survive alongside renovated kitchens and bathrooms, with exposed masonry in some interiors. Corner and through-layouts provide different window arrangements, and some upper homes have rooms facing more than one direction. Renovations include in-home laundry and individual heat-pump systems in selected apartments.
This remains a walk-up. The upper-floor homes and common roof deck require stair access, while garden apartments place their outdoor space closer to the lower residential levels.
Building operations
Solar electrical and hot-water systems are part of the building's infrastructure. The equipment supports the water heaters and common-area lights. Its contribution is a building operating feature, not a guarantee of an individual apartment's future maintenance charge.
A renovated lobby provides video-intercom entry, stroller parking and a package area. Bicycle storage is shared, and additional storage is available within the building. The common roof deck has skyline views.
The property is assessed in Class 2 and has no building tax abatement. Landmark-district status means exterior work must be evaluated within LPC's approval framework, including changes to visible windows and rooftop installations.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
