Incomparable Prewar 1 Bedroom with Stunning Views in Doorman Building
OPEN HOUSES are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
Pin-drop quiet and awash in southern sunlight, this impeccably renovated high floor one bedroom, one bath offers sweeping views of Brooklyn Heights, the Columbia Waterfront & the New York Bay with the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge on the horizon. The apartment also overlooks historic Grace Court Alley—a serene, single block street lined with old-world carriage houses dating back to the mid-1800’s. The vantage point of this apartment must be seen to be fully appreciated.
Rarely offered for sale, this very special H-line home features a gracious entry foyer with the original checkerboard-pattern cork floors circa 1928 preceding a large south-facing living room with a spacious dining area and 8’-7 beamed ceilings. The impeccably renovated windowed kitchen is open to the living room and has been appointed with custom shaker-style cabinetry and white Italian marble countertops and backsplash. The kitchen’s clean lines and minimalist design is in keeping with the home’s refined aesthetic.
A gracious hallway with the prewar checkerboard-pattern cork floors precedes a large south-facing bedroom affording more stunning views of Brooklyn and the water. The view from the bedroom is gracefully framed by a gorgeous willow tree arising from Grace Court Alley. The bedroom has two large, customized wall closets and can easily accommodate a king-size bed and a home office.
The large, windowed prewar bathroom features the original grey and white prewar tiles, the original white pedestal sink, the original cast-iron bathtub and an extremely chic mini-checkerboard tile floor.
Additional features of the home include the original brass hardware on doors, beautiful vintage-inspired lighting fixtures, upgraded moldings, a customized coat closet, a magnificent double closet opposite the bathroom and the original prewar cork floors throughout.
70 Remsen Street, known as “The Remsen”, is a highly sought after Art Deco prewar cooperative with a 24-hour doorman located on one of the most desirable tree-lined blocks in Brooklyn Heights. Built in 1928 as a hotel, this landmarked 11-story building is known for its beautiful arched Romanesque façade and stately lobby. This pet-friendly coop features a live-in superintendent, central laundry room, bike storage, package room and discounted cable/internet. Pieds-a-terre, guarantors/co-purchasing and up to 80% financing are all permitted.
Residents of The Remsen enjoy being just one block from both Montague Street and the Promenade (with views of the water), moments from Brooklyn Bridge Park and having easy access to multiple subway lines (2/3, 4/5, A/C, R) with Manhattan just one stop away. This is Brooklyn Heights living at its finest!
