20 Remsen Street

A monumental 26' wide home in perhaps the single most coveted location in Brooklyn Heights. Located on a private cul de sac at the westernmost end of Remsen Street, this stunning property offers rarely available views of Manhattan, the harbor, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the promenade. It is also located directly at the beginning of Montague Terrace offering unobstructed northern light.

This extraordinary historic home offers 5 floors and approximately 6094 square of interior space (plus a full cellar) and is ideally configured as a two-family home with an owner's quadruplex over a high-income rental or nanny suite.This home underwent a total renovation by the current owners and has been immaculately maintained. Keen attention was paid to restoring original details while replacing building systems. The parlor floor is grand with soaring ceilings, original floors, and a gorgeous chef's kitchen facing the 26' wide rear yard. A grand restored staircase ascends to the next two floors above it which have multiple beautifully appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. The 5th-floor family room has vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a staircase that ascends to the roof deck with sweeping world-famous NYC views. The quadruplex also directly accesses the cellar which has both a sauna and wine cellar. The garden level will make a superb guest suite, nanny suite, or very high-income rental.

Located in the most coveted corner of Brooklyn Heights, your new home is close to the world-famous Brooklyn Heights Promenade, the new 85-acre urban sanctuary, Brooklyn Bridge Park, quaint shopping on Montague Street and a stone throw away from the NYC Greenmarket farmer's market. You will be a few blocks from not only nationally top-ranked schools but also the edgy DUMBO neighborhood. With nearly every NYC subway line available to transport you to Manhattan in one subway stop, this location rivals any on either side of the river. This is a rare opportunity and a superb value for a home of this size, location, and quality.
