Description

CUTE STUDIO ALERT!!

Imagine living in Brooklyn Heights on a beautiful tree-lined street for $300K! Experience quintessential Brooklyn Heights one block off Montague Street and two blocks off the legendary Brooklyn promenade in this adorable and affordable first floor studio at 70 Remsen Street, an exquisite and historic pre-war building originally constructed in 1929. Offering a blend of modern convenience and classic charm, this home features high ceilings with beams and large windows, and is just waiting to be loved and cared for.

This unit is unique in that there are no neighbors on either side (there are stairwells instead), providing an oasis of quiet. Upon entry, you will find a generous foyer and coat/utility closet with additional space to take a load off and hang your coats, keys and bags.

The open living area accommodates both lounging and sleeping, with 2 oversized east-facing windows facing a serenely peaceful back courtyard (unit faces the side of an adjacent brick apartment building roughly 30 feet away, and is roughly 30 feet off the ground).

The windowed kitchen includes a gas stove, microwave, and full size fridge, and is waiting for your imagination to reinvent this compact yet functional space (there is currently no dishwasher). Listing agent can share share numerous ways and floor plans to reconfigure this space, but it can also be used just as it is.

A walk-in closet ensures ample space for both living and storage.

As a resident of The Remsen, you'll enjoy exceptional amenities such as a gorgeous pre-war lobby, congenial 24-hour doormen, a wonderful and responsive on-site super, central laundry room, bike storage, a package room, and an elevator. Pets, co-purchasing, subletting, and pied-a-terres are allowed subject to board approval.

The building is located just moments from the iconic Brooklyn Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Montague Street's vibrant shops and restaurants, and multiple subway lines (2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, R), offering unparalleled convenience. Every other convenience you could need is within a block or two.

PLEASE NOTE!! there is currently scaffolding set up around the first floor windows of this building, to address local law 11 facade compliance work estimated to be completed by September of 2025. Like many pre-war co-ops, there is also an ongoing assessment ($376.20 per month) through November 2026 which can be negotiated, that in this case includes not just the facade work in 2025, but work on the front entryway doors in 2026.

Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to live in THE REMSEN, in beautiful, historic and desirable Brooklyn Heights, New York City's first suburb. Schedule your viewing today!
