Property Description for 32 Remsen Street

> Down the paneled hallways, past the grand stairway, the promise of gaslit Old World grandeur abounds in this magnificent 25' wide 90' deep brownstone beauty, which was selected by Martin Scorsese for his award winning "Age of Innocence." The building consists of seven unique apartments. > Four of the seven are rent stabilized. > You enter the parlor level into a grand room with an original mahogony wood mantle fireplace and a stained glass window. > Light hits you from both sides of the entry from the expansive living room with coffered ceiling, dining room and sitting room. > The rear sitting room of the parlor has a triple wide bay window looking out to a gated 25' x 90' double garden that opens to Grace Court. > The parlor floor duplexes down to the rear of the building. > A circular stair leads down to a bedroom and bath en suite with an entry to the garden. > There is also a kitchen, living room and another room that is being used as a bedroom on this lower level. > Also on the lower level is a front studio apartment. > The dramatic internal center stairway is unique in that there is a large landing on each level. > On the second and third floor are front and back one bedroom apartments. > The top floor is a stunning two bedroom penthouse that has been fully renovated and opens to a large south roof terrace. > 32 Remsen Street is a rare find a half block from the promenade and a short distance to the new 85 acre Brooklyn Bridge Park on the river's edge. > Activities in the park range from kyacking, biking, walking trails, barbeques and dining to a five acre ball field for soccer and baseball. > The neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights is close to many subway lines, gourmet food shops and trendy restaurants.

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.
