Description

This exceptional Brooklyn Heights property redefines the meaning of a studio. Located on a leafy street, less than a block away from the Brooklyn Promenade, in a gracious 25' wide brownstone, the expansive triple mint garden apartment would be the ideal pied-a-terre or full-time residence. With a nod to a discerning collector, the apartment features are like no other, with a full-sized high-end stainless-steel kitchen with top-notch European appliances, to a contemporary Murano chandelier over the dining alcove, a wood burning fireplace, with a ceramic tile surround by Eliel Saarinen and a cleverly hidden custom Murphy bed for guests. 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.

Historic Brooklyn Heights is uniquely situated with the best views in New York, access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, a multitude of subway lines, ferry service and a variety of restaurants and shopping, minutes away from Manhattan.
It is city living at its very finest.
