Property Details
Description
History reverberates at 153 Joralemon Street, a chic, stylish, compact 1 bed/1 bath co-op in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. High ceilings, tall windows, and original pre-war accents — like a tin ceiling, decorative fireplace and period moldings — combine to give this apartment a lofty charm that makes it an amazing place to call home and worth the walk up. The living/dining area has ample room for relaxation, working from home, or hosting a few friends. Prepare dinner each night in the smartly designed efficiency kitchen. The bedroom features a walk-in closet—more than large enough for an entire wardrobe and then some — just under a smartly designed sleeping loft, which is lined with even more storage. Panoramic views of New York City are accessible via a shared rooftop deck, and access to a laundry room and bike storage are also included. Media accounts from the early 20th century reported that an early owner of the building was Dr. John George Johnson a (mostly) respected surgeon for the Brooklyn Ferry Company and eventually for the company that built the Brooklyn Bridge. He and his family lived in it as a single family home. One death notice indicated that he was an intimate friend of Henry Ward Beecher and even testified as an alienist (psychologist) at Beecher’s infamous adultery trial. Upon his death he left the home to his second wife and it was converted to apartments after that. There is no neighborhood this side of the East River more desirable than historic Brooklyn Heights. As you wander along its cobblestone streets, lined with turn-of-the-last-century brownstones marked by flickering gas lamps — it feels like you're stepping into a different period in time. The 4,5 and R trains are a block away and the famous Brooklyn Heights Promenade is less than 10 minutes away. In addition to all of this sitting just outside your front door, Brooklyn Bridge Park—with its athletics facilities, grills and picnic benches, and manicured lawns with majestic views of downtown Manhattan—is just three short blocks away. Pieds-à-terre allowed. Pets welcome. Cable and internet included in maintenance.
