Description
Discover the epitome of townhouse living in the heart of Brooklyn Heights with this top-floor one-bedroom apartment. Bathed in natural light from expansive north-facing windows and boasting 9-foot ceilings, this bright and airy home features timeless solid oak flooring throughout, creating an inviting atmosphere that blends elegance and comfort.
As you enter, a spacious foyer welcomes you, offering both a sense of privacy and ample storage space. The highlight here is the generous walk-in closet, providing plenty of room to accommodate your growing needs.
The open-concept kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with rich cherry cabinetry, white Caesarstone countertops, and modern stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. The breakfast bar is perfect for casual dining, while the exposed brick walls, solid wood window frames, and crown and baseboard moldings infuse the space with charm. The bathroom is a luxurious retreat, illuminated by a skylight and adorned with stone tile walls, a mosaic floor, and a relaxing soaking tub—ideal for unwinding after a long day.
Located at 40 Remsen Street, this gilded age mansion from the late 1800s has been thoughtfully converted into a 9-unit co-op. Just steps from the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty, and the East River, making every day feel extraordinary. This rare gem offers a serene escape in one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods.
Additional perks include a private locked storage unit in the basement and easy access to the shared rooftop deck, just one flight up. The building is pet-friendly and allows sublets, financing, and pied-à-terres subject to board approval. Please note there is a $168/mo assessment through the end of 2025 for a hallway renovation completed last year.
