Property Description for 142 Columbia Heights, 4
Norman Mailer wrote his Pulitzer Prize winning books on the fourth floor of his home in Brooklyn Heights. The nautically themed space is iconic, like its creator, with a two-story glass and wood atrium and a sloping wood ceiling recalling the curves of a grand sailboat. There are multiple outdoor terraces with sweeping views of Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. Approximately 1636 interior square feet, the unit has three bedrooms and two baths, of which one of the bedrooms and baths is in a separate unit on the third floor with the same amazing river views. A third bath is an easy addition on the fourth floor. The architecturally interesting skylight brings excellent light into the interior space.
Built in 1840, 142 Columbia Heights is a landmarked four-story, walk-up brownstone on a prime block overlooking the promenade and the Brooklyn Bridge Park.
If you are looking for a unique and special home and want to own a piece of history, this may be the place for you.

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.
