Description

This beautiful 2 bedroom condo sits on the top floor of a former Remsen Street Mansion on a tree-lined street in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. The landmarked, 31ft-wide Italianate brownstone has been meticulously maintained and is the perfect place for one to call home. Unit 12 has been completely renovated yet retains all of the mansion’s historic 19th-century charm. You’ll find wide-plank hardwood floors, high ceilings, exposed brick and oversized South-facing windows that fill the space with natural light. Overlooking historical carriage houses on peaceful Hunts Lane. The open eat-in kitchen features quartz countertops, upgraded induction range, stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash and abundant extra tall Shaker cabinetry. The split floorplan puts the primary bedroom and secondary bedroom on opposite sides of the home for maximum privacy. The bathroom offers a new vanity, custom tilework and plenty of storage. Don’t forget about the ductless A/C, in-unit washer/dryer, as well as custom closets in both bedrooms and laundry area. This turn-key Brooklyn Heights home is ideally located around the corner from Court St station (R train) and just a block from Borough Hall (2,3,4,5) and Jay St (A,C, and F train). You’ll also be 2 blocks away from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and countless restaurants, cafes and shops in every direction. Purchase of Unit 12 includes roof rights for the option to build out a private outdoor space with condo board approval. See broker for more details on unit exclusions. Sorry, condo board does not allow smoking, vaping or e-bike charging. No dogs as per building policy, except as reasonable accommodations for disabilities.
