148 Hicks Street #3 is a gorgeous triplex home that occupies the upper floors of a coveted 25′ wide 1820s home on one of Brooklyn Heights most beautiful blocks. This home has recently undergone a meticulous custom renovation which upgraded all structural and mechanical aspects while creating a space that is warm, imminently livable, and respectful of the building’s rich history. A superb alternative to an entire townhouse, this coop home has 3-4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and approximately 2008 entire square feet of space.
Enter the apartment on the second floor and ascend to the main living floor which has the impeccable new kitchen, dining area, and living room. The floors are of beautiful wide plank oak and there are original exposed ceiling beams. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The kitchen overlooking the back garden is beautifully appointed with a Waterworks farm sink, 36′ Viking range, Liebherr fridge, and floor to ceiling Waterworks subway tile. Above the living floor are three large bedrooms including the large, garden facing master suite. This floor also has four skylights providing wonderful natural light. Above the bedroom level, you will find a lovely home office/den/guest room which has windows on three exposures and a stunning, wrap around deck with built-in seating. This level is a tranquil oasis from which to enjoy sunrises and sunsets and take in views of some of Brooklyn Heights’ iconic buildings.
The restoration of this home was total- it replaced the roof, electrical, windows, hot water heaters. There is new energy efficient central AC and heat throughout, Duravit toilets, Waterworks plumbing fixtures, and Miele W/D. The cohesive interior design was beautifully tailored with wood flooring, warm textures, exceptional finishes, fixtures, and hardware.
Located in the most desirable part of Brooklyn Heights, your new home is in close proximity to the world-famous Brooklyn Heights Promenade, the new 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park, quaint shopping on Montague Street and a stone throw away from the NYC Greenmarket farmer’s market and nationally top-ranked schools. Trendy DUMBO, Smith St, Court St, and Atlantic Aves are all very close. With nearly every NYC subway line available to transport you to Manhattan in one subway stop, this location rivals any on either side of the river.
