118 Joralemon Street

Here is a Federal era beauty in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Protected by New York City's landmark law, this charming block and neighborhood will always enjoy the scale and beauty that now exists. 118 Joralemon's lovely brick facade rises a full 5 stories with new custom windows from top to bottom. The house is 25 feet wide and 6,000 square feet - a rare find. The floor-to-ceiling parlor floor windows tell the story of soaring ceiling height. Gracious living space, dining space and a working kitchen comprise the first floor. There are 4 working, wood-burning fireplaces on the parlor floor and the floor above. Above there are 3 floors of bedrooms and/offices - 8 rooms in total, and 3 full baths. The top floor is a loft-type space with south-facing greenhouse windows. Below the stairs is a spacious 1-bedroom apartment. High rental income is possible, or one's office or a school pod are other possible uses for this floor. There is a lovely garden facing south that enjoys the vista of the entire block's gardens. In addition to mature plantings and a curved staircase from the parlor floor, the garden has a secret in-ground hot tub. The current, and prior, owners have immaculately maintained this townhouse. Updates to the kitchen and baths will likely be preferred, but that process will be significantly eased by the presence of up-to-date central air conditioning, new windows throughout, upgraded wiring, and a high quality roof. If you are ready to call Brooklyn Heights home, 118 Joralemon is not to be missed.
