In the 1860’s the barons of New York city built their mansions along the picturesque streets of Brooklyn Heights and The Heights remain one of the most gorgeous, convenient and sought-after neighborhoods anywhere in the world.
Today, 40 Remsen street is that rarest and most coveted of New York City jewels: a 25 foot wide grand city mansion converted to 9 distinctive co-op apartments. And one of the best parts of co-ops is they have approximately 20-30% lower closing costs than condos, so you can own the penthouse in this Brooklyn Heights mansion for less.
APARTMENT No. 9 is the mint condition PENTHOUSE. A gilded-age lobby and sky-lit central stair lead you to this lofty and sun-drenched home that must be seen to be appreciated. It was meticulously gut renovated in 2017 and has airy 9 foot ceilings with one bedroom, an extra-broad living room, and over-sized (new) solid wood windows with serene tree-top and blue sky views and westward peeks of the New York City Harbor.
The bedroom easily fits a full or queen sized bed and includes an organized double closet. Plus there is another jumbo walk-in closet. The skylit bathroom is new and clad in tasteful marble with a deep soaking tub and inset vanity medicine cabinet. Additionally, the large entry foyer doubles as home office.
The kitchen here is better than anything on the market today in Brooklyn Heights at this price. Thoughtfully designed, there is a surprising amount of storage and counterspace, and it’s equipped with high-end stainless steel appliance and custom solid cherry cabinets. It really is a cut above the rest.
THE ROOF DECK: The stairs leading to the roof deck are just outside your front door. The roof deck affords you and your guests panoramic views of lower Manhattan, the harbor, liberty island and even the Verrazano. Fireworks, drinks, summer nights, BBQ and a little salt air are all on the menu.
PRIVATE STORAGE: Finally, apartment 9 includes your own private storage room on site for your off season storage.
LIVING IN BROOKLYN HEIGHTS: Living here gives you access to the city in one subway stop, while also presenting you with Brooklyn Bridge Park, fine dining, good coffee, and many more neighborhood adventures at your door step. The Neighborhoods of DUMBO, Downtown Brooklyn (the Alamo and DeKalb Market!) are right here too. Call today.
