Valentine's Way is a series of four townhouses, 60 Clark Street, 62 Clark Street, 64 Clark Street, and 66 Clark Street between Henry Street and Hicks Street in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. It is more than an investment of prime New York City rental property, Valentine's Way is a private brownstone community within Brooklyn Heights. This compound is uniquely maintained with restored brownstone apartments with an emphasis on historic preservation and meticulous attention that includes spectacular original details, functioning fireplaces, with many upgrades to the kitchens and bathrooms.These four contiguous townhouses have a total of 39 apartments. Though the apartment layouts vary, the buildings generally have front and back apartments on each of the five floors. Some are floor through apartments, some have private outdoor terraces or direct garden access. All have been beautifully renovated bringing most of the rents to market value.
A unique feature of this assemblage is a secluded park behind the townhouses, which combines all four townhouse gardens, known as "Valentine's Park." It is named after Valentine Everett, who was the original owner of two of the houses. Each tenant has the opportunity to join Valentine's Park which is accessed through a locked walkway next to 66 Clark Street. This private Park has the original bluestone walks, widened and connected, with multilevel plantings including specimen trees, perennials, sitting areas, a fountain, and an irrigation system. Each of the townhouses has been meticulously restored and carefully maintained to preserve the original details including front gardens and exterior iron work. This is a unique opportunity to acquire one of the greatest Brownstone communities in Brooklyn Heights.
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.
