Description
40 Remsen #3 is a gorgeous and sophisticated studio apartment ,built circa 1880, and located in the historical district of Brooklyn Heights in a stately 25-foot wide gilded age Victorian mansion. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored residence, perfect as a pied-a-terre or primary home and located on one of the most coveted streets in Brooklyn Heights.
Situated on the parlor level, this elegant home with thirteen foot ceilings is bathed in natural light from the striking oversized windows with stained glass transoms and interior shutters that overlook the impeccably preserved historic and quiet streetscape.
Enter the apartment through the original and unique pocket door and you will be struck by the beautifully preserved original parquet floors with walnut inlay, the double crown molding, custom Mahogany built-in's, rich wood paneling, and an extraordinary wood burning fireplace with an ornate mantel that beautifully integrates dark wood and tile, among the finest surviving examples of its kind. Soaring thirteen foot ceilings create an airy ambiance, while a fully outfitted double closet and additional private basement storage provide exceptional practicality.
The renovated kitchen has been seamlessly integrated into the living space and features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a Bertazzoni gas range, dishwasher, under-counter SubZero refrigerator and freezer drawers, wine refrigerator, and abundant storage. The spa inspired bathroom is complete with ceramic and glass tile finishes, a large glass-enclosed shower, generous storage, and a heated towel warmer. Completing the home is a custom designed mahogany Murphy bed crafted to resemble a refined armoire with four tall beveled glass folding doors, integrated lighting, and effortless functionality.
40 Remsen Street is an intimate, landmarked nine unit cooperative with a stunning entryway including a beveled mirror framing fireplace, extraordinary wood paneling, and tasteful William Morris wallpaper. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac with virtually no through traffic, the building offers a rare sense of tranquility, a dedicated storage unit, and a shared roof deck. Residents enjoy immediate proximity to the shops and restaurants of Montague Street, convenient access to multiple subway lines (2/3, 4/5, and R), close to Brooklyn Bridge Park, and only one half block to the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline.
