Property Description for 38 Livingston Street, 53
Classic prewar proportions, fantastic light, charm and detail characterize this spacious one-bedroom, fifth-floor apartment in the heart of tree-lined Brooklyn Heights. As you walk in, the foyer, complete with two large closets, welcomes you into the large, open living area which offers plenty of space for dining and a home office. Two oversized windows bring in abundant light throughout the day and look over the lovely gardens below. The windowed kitchen has a new stainless steel fridge and dishwasher and offers great work and storage space, including restored original built-ins. The bathroom is well-appointed with classic tile, a large pedestal sink, and a beautiful leaded glass window. The bedroom, which is truly kind-sized, has southern and eastern exposure and is incredibly quiet end serene. Other features of the apartment include high ceilings and new hardwood floors. The neo-classical, elevator building, "The Colonial", has a live-in super, central laundry and private storage and bike storage in the basement. A block and a half from 6 different subway lines, and a short jaunt to all the businesses and amenities of Montague Street, Atlantic Avenue, Smith and Court Streets, as well as the Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Promenade--the location is amazing! Pets allowed too!

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.
