Every day is a vacation in Penthouse 11B at 70 Remsen Street! Step out of your bedroom onto your own private terrace with sweeping panoramic views of NYC Harbor and downtown Manhattan. Experience the sunset night after night sitting from your elevated dining nook. Curl up by the wood-burning fireplace and relax because you own one of the most unique apartments in all Brooklyn Heights. Extremely hard to find, this top floor 2 bedroom penthouse apartment in a pre-war full-service coop is the crown jewel of The Remsen. Perfectly situated on iconic Remsen Street, only steps away from The Promenade, the new Brooklyn Bridge Park, the freshly renovated recreational waterfront Piers, shops and restaurants on Montague Street, and an abundance of public transportation options that will deliver you to Manhattan in 10 minutes. Embraced by the newly renovated 350 square foot water-facing terrace, every room has a view of the Harbor - and complete privacy. Split bedrooms (or one bedroom and home office) offer total flexibility. The open kitchen has stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The apartment features abundant storage and a large California walk-in closet. There is even a second outdoor terrace off the kitchen, good for storing fireplace wood or an herb garden. The Remsen, built in 1929, is an architecturally significant landmarked destination for historical walking tours because of its distinctive facade. With full-time doormen and superintendent, your mail/packages are held by the concierge/doormen and handed to you upon entering. Amenities include a bike room and a basement laundry room. A service entrance provides easy access for large deliveries. 1% flip tax paid by purchaser. Maintenance includes utilities and cable.

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.
