Property Description for 57 Montague Street, 1-A
Situated in historic and picturesque Brooklyn Heights, nestled on the corner of one of the most coveted corners on Columbia Heights, sits this perfect light filled, 2 bedroom, corner unit at The Breukelen.
As you enter a large entry foyer leads to an expansive living room with original hardwood floors, engulfed by Southern and Western facing windows, a dining alcove and a restored and thoughtful pass through kitchen. Light flooding through restored steel casement windows looking out onto the serene, tree-lined street brings a gentle cross breeze from the river making for an ideal, and truly unique haven to call home.
Located to the left of the foyer, separated by a steel frame door, is one of the private and perfectly laid out bedroom quarters. Completely restored, the attached full bath features original white subway tiles and updated fixtures. With built in shelving, deep closets, wood floors and beautiful views of greenery outside — the bedroom combines functionality and charm.
Privately tucked behind the kitchen is a 2nd bedroom with custom floor to ceiling California Closets that mirror the adjacent refurbished black steel frame windows creating effortless balance and feng shui.
Built in 1949, The Breukelen is an established and lovely full service co-op situated close to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and offers a full-time doorman, fitness center, laundry room, storage, bicycle room, garden as well as an exquisite Rooftop with Panoramic views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Skylines and Harbor. An easy stroll down the storybook-like streets will lead you past some of the finest examples of historic architecture in the city and nestled in between you’ll find wonderful and quaint local cafes and shops, along with renowned restaurants and parks. Close to the surrounding neighborhoods of Cobble Hill, Dumbo and Downtown Brooklyn, a stones throw to seven subway lines, and positioned near the world class waterfront Brooklyn Bridge Park, this home is well priced, yet perfectly situated to enjoy all the wonders of this picturesque neighborhood.
Please note the coloration of the walls have been slightly altered from the current coloration of the actual walls.

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.
