If you have been searching for a home in 100 Remsen Street, then you already know that the F line units are hard to come by. These rarely-available corner units are highly sought-after because they offer enormous casement windows on all 3 sides and overlook neighboring rear gardens and historic, quaint carriage houses on Hunt?s Lane with nothing obstructing natural light from coming in from virtually everywhere in the apartment.
If you've been in other units in the building, believe me when I tell you, when you're standing in this living room, you'll immediately feel the difference. Its generous living room offers an open, airy feel and opens up naturally to create the perfect dining space that can accommodate proper furnishings. As you can see in the floor plan, the flexibility lends itself well to a variety of uses, which is what the current owners tell me was their favorite thing about living here.
Additionally, its light-filled kitchen was completely remodeled in 2018 with thoughtful attention to detail and maximization of space with plenty of storage and prep space in mind. Beautiful quartz countertops, a side by side door stainless steel Haier refrigerator, a 5-burner stainless steel Whirlpool gas range, Whirlpool microwave were among the upgrades. Its full bath is also fully renovated, offering a sleek, upscale feel - so there's really nothing left to do - just move in and start enjoying everything Brooklyn Heights has to offer.
If you need a 2 bedroom apartment, or the type of space that offers the flexibility you need, you'll want to take a closer look at this home!
100 Remsen Street is an 80 unit 8 story pet-friendly co-op with elevator and part-time doorman. This building poses a rare opportunity for all cash buyers to purchase a home for pennies on the dollar. It is one of the only 2 buildings in Brooklyn Heights that are on a land lease where the land is not owned by the co-op. Given that the monthly MT includes heat, hot water, cooking gas and electricity, it's no wonder that buyers flock to this building for its incredible deals and often snap them up very quickly - listings rarely last a full 30 days on the market.
Offered at $399,000.
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.
