Description

Overlooking the picturesque carriage houses of quiet Grace Court Alley, this south facing renovated one bedroom is in one of Brooklyn Heights' most sought after full service coops, 70 Remsen Street. This gorgeous home has just been completely renovated with timeless finishes which appeal to the needs and aesthetics of today's buyer while preserving the home's prewar bones, complete with beamed ceilings and picture moldings.

Upon entering, you're immediately greeted by a welcoming proper foyer with generous coat closet. The large living room has plenty of room for a separate dining area, adjacent to an open kitchen. The windowed kitchen has all new white custom cabinetry, gray Caesarstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and of course a dishwasher. The windowed bathroom is also newly renovated with floor to ceiling tile in the shower, a custom vanity, and plenty of built in storage. Opposite the bathroom and adjacent to the bedroom is a walk in closet that is so large that some homeowners have made it a home office. The bedroom is simply enormous with room for a king sized bed plus whatever suits your needs...wall to wall closets, a home office, or even a seating area. New gorgeous hardwood floors run throughout the apartment.

"The Remsen", perfectly located on Remsen between Hicks and Henry Streets, is a grand 1929 building whose distinctive facade often attracts the gaze of neighborhood tour groups. The ornate hand carvings in the lobby have been lovingly maintained and the building mechanicals are in immaculate condition. This pet friendly building is staffed with a full time superintendent and 24/7 attended lobby. There is a bike room and laundry room. This prime location is one block from the famed Promenade, close to the new Brooklyn Bridge Park, and near the shops, restaurants and transportation of Brooklyn Heights. Current assessment of $234.90/month for facade work runs until December 2018. Utilities included in the maintenance!
