Property Description for 70 Remsen Street, 2-AB

MAINTENANCE INCLUDES ALL UTILITIES - ELECTRIC/GAS/WATER

Live on one of the best blocks in Brooklyn Heights in a coveted prewar, full-service, elevator building. This large turn-key 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom architect designed home (approximately 1,200sf) perfectly pays homage to its prewar origins with an open plan that works for today's lifestyle. At the hub of the home is the oversized living room with high beamed ceilings and plenty of space to sprawl. The adjacent open kitchen/dining area overlooks the tree-lined townhouses of Remsen Street through gorgeous black casement windows. You can easily accommodate dining for six, and storage is abundant with a separate pantry closet, extra-large walk-in closet, and a charming separate dish room complete with Fisher Paykel dual-drawer dishwasher. The north facing primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and provides ample space for a king sized bed with plenty of room for additional seating/ furniture. Two full windowed bathrooms both retain the prewar charm with classic subway tiles. Beautiful white oak floors run throughout and a number of incredible lighting fixtures are being offered with the sale. These include original 1950's Charlotte Perriand sconces, and ceiling lighting from Roll & Hill, Matter, and Lee Broom-all controlled by stunning Forbes & Lomax hardware.

The Remsen is a grand 1928 landmarked co-op building whose distinctive facade and ornate hand carvings in the lobby have been lovingly maintained. The building is staffed with a full time superintendent and 24/7 attended lobby. There is bike room and modernized basement laundry room. Pets are welcomed and pied-a-terre/sublets are permitted. This prime Brooklyn Heights location is one block from the Promenade, close to Brooklyn Bridge Park, and just a stones throw from fantastic neighborhood shops, restaurants and public transportation (first stop from Manhattan to Brooklyn on the 2/3, 4/5, A/C, & R).

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.
