Description

MAINTENANCE INCLUDES ALL UTILITIES - ELECTRIC/GAS/WATER

Live on one of the best blocks in Brooklyn Heights in a coveted prewar, full-service, elevator building. This large turn-key 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom architect designed home (approximately 1,200sf) perfectly pays homage to its prewar origins with an open plan that works for today's lifestyle. At the hub of the home is the oversized living room with high beamed ceilings and plenty of space to sprawl. The adjacent open kitchen/dining area overlooks the tree-lined townhouses of Remsen Street through gorgeous black casement windows. You can easily accommodate dining for six, and storage is abundant with a separate pantry closet, extra-large walk-in closet, and a charming separate dish room complete with Fisher Paykel dual-drawer dishwasher. The north facing primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and provides ample space for a king sized bed with plenty of room for additional seating/ furniture. Two full windowed bathrooms both retain the prewar charm with classic subway tiles. Beautiful white oak floors run throughout and a number of incredible lighting fixtures are being offered with the sale. These include original 1950's Charlotte Perriand sconces, and ceiling lighting from Roll & Hill, Matter, and Lee Broom-all controlled by stunning Forbes & Lomax hardware.

The Remsen is a grand 1928 landmarked co-op building whose distinctive facade and ornate hand carvings in the lobby have been lovingly maintained. The building is staffed with a full time superintendent and 24/7 attended lobby. There is bike room and modernized basement laundry room. Pets are welcomed and pied-a-terre/sublets are permitted. This prime Brooklyn Heights location is one block from the Promenade, close to Brooklyn Bridge Park, and just a stones throw from fantastic neighborhood shops, restaurants and public transportation (first stop from Manhattan to Brooklyn on the 2/3, 4/5, A/C, & R).
