Property Description for 42 Remsen Street
> 42 Remsen Street presents a rare opportunity to own a historic Flemish-bond brick townhouse on what was once known as “Mansion Row.” The building is currently configured with an impressive Garden/ Parlor duplex, two spacious one bedroom apartments and a sweet top floor studio.
> The Garden level features a hallway mudroom, 2 nicely proportioned bedrooms, a full bath, laundry and a master suite with walk-in closet, and French doors to the garden.
> The airy main floor features much of the 19th century mahogany woodwork , but the parlor floor was enlarged by adding load bearing steel beams- encased in mahogany wood- which extend the full 26’ width of the house allowing for a magnificent open “loft-like” living and dining area rarely seen in homes of this vintage.
> The openness of the room is enhanced by high ceilings and three sets of French doors which open out to a balcony overlooking and descending to the garden.
> Adding to the beauty of this level are two wood-burning fireplaces, chef’s kitchen, half bath and lovely library.The third floor with its original detail, high ceilings, wood paneled living room, spacious sunlit bedroom, two fireplaces, and 500 sq ft terrace would make a perfect master suite.The fourth floor is equally charming, with original detail and original wood floors, great closets, a fireplace and oversized windows.
> On the fifth floor you will find additional storage and a 500 sq ft bright and sweet studio with skylights.

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.
