161 Hicks Street

Just past Love Lane, steps from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, this pristine single family townhouse has been patiently restored to its 19th Century glory while incorporating all the conveniences of 21st Century Living. Highlights include four wood burning fireplaces, two-zone central air-conditioning, and a private garden, all in a classic 19th century setting.

On the garden level, French doors open from a sumptuous eat-in-kitchen to a terrace and fully landscaped garden. The kitchen features a 6 burner Viking Range, Carrera marble counters, custom cabinets and central island with a butcher block counter top. An open plan family room adjoins the kitchen and is also used for formal dining.

In contrast to the relaxed comfort of the garden floor, the grand entrance floor features a classic double parlor with a formal sitting area, a mullioned window, original shutters, a marble wood burning fireplace and original parquet floors. The rear parlor is a library with pocket doors, bookcases, built in cabinets and an additional wood burning fireplace.

On the third floor, the master bedroom has a wood burning fireplace with white wood and brick surround, shutters on the front windows, strip oak floors and a walk-in closet. An additional bedroom and a contemporary styled bathroom with Caesar stone topped sink and vanity, glass tiles and glass tub/shower enclosure complete this floor. The top floor has three additional bedrooms, a full bath and laundry room.

There is central air-conditioning on all 4 floors as well four wood burning fireplaces. This classic townhouse is ideally located to access trains, Brooklyn Bridge Park and all the shops and restaurants that historic Brooklyn Heights has to offer. (Images property of onefinestay.
