Garden views of Grace Court Alley await you in this lovely home at the Remsen, in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Apartment 1G, located on the raised first floor, with the benefit of no elevator use needed, is a south-facing well designed one-bedroom, one-bath apartment. Its location in the rear of the building, overlooking the sunny garden and charming carriage houses, offers a quiet sanctuary full of natural light and the sounds of nature. Architectural details are noted throughout, both appealing in style while full of functional convenience, thanks to renovations by a previous owner who was with Robert A.M. Stern. Recent upgrades to hardwood floors and crown moldings, enhance the beamed high ceilings and ample windows in every room, including the bathroom. The entrance leads to a nice sized foyer including a deep closet. The living room has plenty of space for both lounging and dining areas. The windowed open kitchen, off the living room, has designer touches including sleek white custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, concealed Bosch dishwasher, and high-end stainless steel appliances including Avanti gas range and LG refrigerator. The hallway has a large double door walk-in closet conveniently across from the bathroom, gleaming with a white tiled, glass-enclosed, Riobel rain shower with handheld, Ronbow custom vanity, and a window for light and fresh air. The bedroom is an entire living space, large enough for a king-size bed and multiple pieces of furniture; even room to create a home office. The multiple options for layouts will suit every need. A stylish yet functional ceiling fan and light create a finishing touch to the room. The Remsen is a timeless and classic full-service 10 story cooperative residence from 1928, welcoming you with an elegant pre-war lobby combined with the modern attentive services of a full-time super and 24/7 concierge.

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.
