94 Hicks Street

Welcome to 94 Hicks Street, the crown jewel of Brooklyn Heights. Originally built in 1868, this majestic 5 story semi-detached home has retained all it's pre-war beauty from the restored brownstone exterior, ornate cornices, and iron railing. A rare 23' wide home, sitting on a 25' by 100' lot, the home itself boasts over 5,300 of interior square feet and a side alley walkway. This home is ready for it's next owner to create a majestic single family mansion or keep as an income producing rental property perfect for a 1031 exchange or to live in while also collecting rental income. Currently set up as a 5 unit income producing rental building, with a newly gut renovated owner's duplex, studio, and 3 floor through 1 bed apartments. This beautifully intact house is differentiated from the adjoining brownstone row by curved lintels, an elaborate cornice, an arched recessed doorway with elegant scrolls and keystone, and a mansard roof. The latter style was so fashionable in the 1860s that such roofs were being added to many earlier Federal and Greek Revival buildings in New York. The interior of the house is just as grand as the exterior, with many details still in tact like crown moldings and marble and iron fire place mantles. The ground floor duplex has just undergone a high end gut renovation as a 2 or 3 bed unit with open concept kitchen and living room, and full floor to ceiling sliding glass doors which open out to the 750sqft landscaped backyard. The kitchen is outfitted with Subzero french door refrigerator and 4 drawer freezers, Wolf 8 burner range with built in griddle and dual oven, vented hood and 50 bottle wine refrigerator. On the upper level of the duplex, the grandest primary bedroom with decorative fireplace, and customized walk in closet with floor to ceiling storage spaces. The primary bath comes complete with clawfoot tub, dual sinks, Waterworks hardware throughout, and a separate water closet with bidet. A full laundry room is located in the basement with customized storage and sink. This unit can easily be combined with the 2nd floor studio to make a massive 1900sqft duplex with a finished basement to be over 2,800sqft! Keep this duplex as an owner's unit, or easily rent out for $15,000/month. The upper 3 floors are all set up as floor through 1 or 1.5 bed units, with renovated kitchens. Current monthly rent roll for the upper 3 units plus parlor level studio is $11,500/month, but could easily be increased to $15,000/month with some minor improvements.
