Description

Your Brooklyn Heights treehouse awaits just steps from the Promenade. Recently thoughtfully and fully renovated, this two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom duplex features an expansive, sun-drenched layout with leafy garden and treetop views in a historic brownstone cooperative.

Inside this spacious two-level sanctuary, you will find classic style with a fully updated finish. 9 foot ceilings are trimmed with crown moldings and inlaid hardwood floors run throughout, while brand new windows (with built-in, pull-down screens) flood each room with glorious natural light from the South and East. A gracious foyer flanked by a chic powder room and a coat closet welcomes you to the open-plan main level. Relax in front of the stately, re-lined wood-burning fireplace, and enjoy a generous footprint for seating and dining areas. Ahead, the freshly-renovated open kitchen pairs classic white cabinetry with Carrera marble countertops, white tile backsplash, open shelving and milk glass pendant lighting. The stainless steel appliances include a vented gas range and dishwasher.

Ascend the handsome staircase to discover the home's private quarters, including an oversized sun-drenched corner primary bedroom with a king-size layout and roomy closet. The large secondary bedroom offers eastern outlooks, while the updated full bathroom boasts a large tub/shower with original cast iron built-in tub, pedestal sink, handsome classic tile and skylight. Additional closets, new split A/C units throughout, and an in-unit washer and vented dryer add comfort and convenience to this special Brooklyn Heights haven. This home includes a 10-foot by 15-foot storage area in the basement.

25 Remsen Street is a grand brownstone mansion built in 1865 by prominent Brooklyn resident and shipping magnate Isaac F. Chapman. Chapman and partner Benjamin Flint built all the houses along the east side of Montague Terrace, and Chapman resided in No. 13 until his death in 1895. Later converted to six co-op apartments, this beautifully maintained, self-managed and pet friendly boutique building includes basement storage.

This coveted Brooklyn Heights Historic District neighborhood is filled with world-class dining, shopping and breathtaking waterfront outdoor space while offering easy access to Dumbo, BoCoCa, Downtown and Fort Greene. Enjoy an afternoon on the famed Brooklyn Heights Promenade or head to sprawling Brooklyn Bridge Park for outstanding events and recreation. BAM, City Point BKLYN, Atlantic Terminal, and Barclays Center are all within reach, and transportation options abound, with R, 2/3, 4/5, A/C and F trains, excellent bus service, CitiBikes, the BQE and East River crossings all nearby.
