It is the perfect room for hosting family and friends for a pizza party or an elegant dinner.
Beyond the entry foyer, a vintage weighted metal sliding door leads to the private portion of the apartment, with a large comfortable bathroom, a beautiful antique clawfoot bath for soaking, a hidden all-in-one washer/dryer, a sleeping alcove with a 19th century Italian brass chandelier, and an abundance of open storage.
40 Remsen Street is a 9-unit co-op with a perfectly preserved paneled entry foyer with William Morris wallpaper and fireplace. The building a dedicated storage unit in the basement for each apartment.
