73 Joralemon Street

Located along a row of mid 19th Century landmarked Greek Revival townhouses on a cobblestone street on a prime Brooklyn Heights block, 73 Joralemon St. offers an old fashioned feel with completely modern details.

Over the last three years, the owners completed a dramatic and comprehensive renovation under the direction of designer Nick Olsen. No expense spared. Every bathroom was torn down and redone with black marble and copper finishes. Walls were reinforced, ceilings repaired, trim replaced, all windows were installed, stairs replaced, ground floor completely gutted, hardwood floors refinished. All of the mechanicals, including central heating, air, boiler, wiring have been replaced.

The backyard was recreated from scratch by New Eco. This four story house faces south and is flooded with sunlight. The back of the house shares a wall with Grace Church, where you can hear organ music on Sunday mornings. Notably Joralemon is the only street north of Atlantic that provides access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, which has soccer fields, volleyball courts, racquetball, and a completely new walk and bike path. It is 5 blocks from Borough Hall, one of the first Brooklyn stops from either West or East Manhattan.
