31 Middagh Street

31 Middagh Street, set on a beautiful leafy and quiet street in the North Heights, is located on what is indisputably one of the most charming and historic parts of Brooklyn Heights. It lives with low density townhouses on both sides of the street and offers a real sense of community.The Federal style property dating from around 1820 was part of the Middagh Family farm and underwent very few changes until 2012 when it was sold to the present owners who upon first viewing recognized the charm and historical significance of this precious home as well as of its neighboring buildings, including the famous former Candy Factory. The owners, under the auspices of a well-known local architect set out to make 31 Middagh Street a stylishly modern home yet in the thick of history. Phase One which involved the complete removal and rebuilding of the front of the house was magnificently executed, receiving praise and admiration from Landmarks and local press. Phase Two, the renovation of the back of the house, which will add additional square footage and four outdoor spaces, has been fully approved by Landmarks.In its current condition the pretty and pristine house features four light filled floors of wonderful living with on the main floor an open living-dining area, gas fireplace and windowed kitchen, new Landmark approved windows, and hard-wood floors. The owners left the first floor below unused. It is presently a high-ceilinged open space, with a half bathroom and a storage-room. The upper two floors offer 4 bedrooms, a study and two full bathrooms. Timeless and elegant with Parisian-like views, 31 Middagh Street is a superior location next to A/C/2/3 trains or ferry, the promenade, the Brooklyn Bridge Park, dog run, schools and the Harry Chapin playground, and with excellent restaurants, shops and many other amenities. The listing shows the current and proposed floor plans.
