Property Description for 70 Remsen Street, 3-AB

A HOME TO LOVE. This simply stunning, newly renovated apartment is for those with an appreciation of superior craftsmenship. Located at The Remsen, two apartments were meticulously combined during a six month renovation to create a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. When you pass through the threshold into the large foyer you are first struck by the intricate pattern of the Mosaic House Moroccan hand poured tiles on the floor. Also in the foyer there is a large, custom outfitted closet. Next, you walk through the enlarged entryway into the heart of the home. Do you love to entertain? This is where you will effortlessly be able to cook while you entertain your guests. The mint, custom kitchen cabinetry affords more storage than most suburban homes! This chef's kitchen has appliances by GE Monogram, the faucet is Italian by Rohl, and the sink is white cast iron. The large peninsula with seating for three has caesarstone counters and Rejuvenation pendant light fixtures overhead along with a lot of recessed lighting for a well lit kitchen. All this while having a view of trees and brownstones from two large windows and one small one. There is room for a dining table and chairs too. Next, walk down the extra wide hall past the renovated, windowed bathroom with new toilet & pedestal sink (both Kohler), newly glazed tub with glass panel and marble herringbone floors from Complete Tile. There is a large closet in the hall opposite this bath. The Living Room is next with the same amazing view of trees and brownstones from the three large windows. All of the walls in the apartment have been meticulously skim coated and freshly painted. The floors are not just refinished, they are brand new! Five-inch white oak flooring was just installed throughout (except for the new marble herringbone floors in both baths and the new Moroccan tiles in the foyer.) The custom built, solid wood paneled doors have Baldwin hardware, trimless door casings, some doors have pivot hinges and all doors are taller than usual, which lends to the feeling of openness and spaciousness throughout the apartment. Another extra-wide hall lined with custom outfitted closets leads to the en-suite master bedroom and the second bedroom. The master bedroom has a custom outfitted, walk-in closet with great lighting. The en-suite windowed bath has a large walk-in shower with a glass panel and new, high end Kohler sink, toilet, and accessories. A custom closet was built in this bath to add to the storage space. The second bedroom has ample, custom outfitted closets and would be ideal for kids or as a home office/studio. Extra soundproofing (insulation AND QuietRoc sheetrock) was built into these walls for added privacy. Ceilings are taller than usual at 8'6". All lighting is on dimmer switches. You will find all of this and much, much more at this prime location in the heart of Brooklyn Heights on one of the most beautiful, sought after tree lined streets. You are one block from both the Promenade and famed Montague St. and very close to Brooklyn Bridge Park. You are also very close to all major subway lines. The Remsen is a historic landmarked building built in 1929 and designed by renowned architect H.I. Feldman and has a gorgeous historic facade with marble columns, arches and gargoyles. Because it was a hotel at one time every floor has extra wide hallways. There is 24 hour Concierge, a live-in super, new laundry facilities and a bike room. The maintenance fee includes gas and electricity. Pets are welcomed. Pied-a-terres are allowed. Come see your new home today! This won't last!

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.
