Property Description for 2 Grace Court Alley
2 Grace Court Alley, a historic carriage house located on one of the very few streets in NYC that are filled almost exclusively with mid-19th century carriage houses. Built between the Civil War and the turn-of-the-century, the alley and house itself were created during the pre-automobile era and gives a glimpse of how life might have looked during that time. A private cul-de-sac, few cars or pedestrians ever traverse it and nary a second glance is given when on their way to Remsen and Montague Streets (located one and two blocks north) and the entrance to the Brooklyn Promenade. The charm of this block has been maintained in part due to the efforts of the Brooklyn Heights Association and its location in the first designated historic district in New York City. Holding the distinction of a New York City Landmark since 1965 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. The house itself consists of four large bedrooms, three full baths, large eat-in kitchen, and a dining room drenched with natural light which opens to the living room with one of two working fireplaces. Original carriage house doors open to your private garage. A 28-foot-wide, quintessential example of early NYC living, just waiting to be re-imagined and fitted to today’s lifestyle.

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.
