Property Description for 118 Joralemon Street
Dating from the earliest days of townhouse construction in Brooklyn Heights, 118 Joralemon is a magnificent example of the Greek Revival style, featuring the following prized elements:
Beautiful brick facade
6 over 6 floor-to-ceiling parlor windows
Soaring ceilings
Facade and interior details derived from early Greek architecture.
At 25’ wide, all rooms, staircases, and hallways offer generous proportions rarely found in Brooklyn townhouses. The house was built in 1847-1848 on land owned in turn by various Brooklyn luminaries, including Remsen, Livingston, and Vanderbeeck. All of Brooklyn history is represented in 118 Joralemon St.
In addition to the historical pedigree, this home has benefitted from loving restoration by recent owners. Here is a brief list of those changes:
Central air conditioning throughout the house
Custom new Landmarks-approved windows on the facade and rear
Updated kitchen and baths
4 wood-burning fireplaces
Temperature controlled wine cellar
Spa tub in landscaped, serene garden with south views

Upstairs is a master bedroom (with private balcony) and bath, as well as a sitting/media room. The next floor is made up of 2 large bedrooms, a bath with laundry, and a spacious office. As a bonus, the very top floor, with greenhouse windows, is a large media/playroom, 2 more bedrooms, and a bath. At over 6,000 square feet, the house manages to have enormous scale as well as a truly homey feel.

Brooklyn Heights | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Brooklyn Heights was Manhattan’s first suburb. The Brooklyn Bridge is a neighborhood draw, offering some of the most beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline, as well as an easily walkable means of commuting into the City. Montague Street has been the main commercial street in Brooklyn Heights since the 1800s, but it is not overly commercialized. Smaller shops help maintain the small neighborhood feel of Brooklyn Heights.
The quaint cobblestoned side streets highlight the historic feel to this lovely, vibrant neighborhood that is filled with exciting and innovative restaurants, stores that have those perfect home decor items, that little black dress you love, and your favorite dry cleaner is right around the corner. Brooklyn Heights is your perfect city within the City.
There are apartments, condos, and co-ops that resulted from the conversion of pre-war residential hotels. The townhouses in Brooklyn Heights are often five stories, instead of the three stories found elsewhere. You’ll also find row houses and stunning single family mansions. Due to the three protected historic districts, opportunities for new construction are limited, and the appearance of the neighborhood seems frozen in the era when these buildings were originally constructed.
Renowned public and private schools make the neighborhood attractive to young families with school-age children. The neighborhood is generally “kid-friendly,” with parks, playgrounds, and quiet streets where kids can still play safely.
