Property Description for 81 Columbia Heights, 51

New day with a new price! Now Priced at $875,000! From its insanely gorgeous designed interior, unobstructed waterviews in every room and a quintessential Brooklyn Promenade location, this apartment is the epitome of stylish living. Located on the top floor (yes, it is a walk up but worth the walk!), the apartment overall has been impeccably renovated, designed and is very well proportioned. Plus, there is incredibly huge roof deck contiguous to the apartment! Upon entering the apartment, you are struck by the classic architecture of a long formal hallway, high ceilings with prewar details, the antique glass Murano chandeliers, the beautiful hardwood floors and then, there is the extraordinary light. The light streams from the huge bank of western windows in the living room. Plus, literally each room has windows with the same western water/sunset views, including the kitchen bathroom and bedroom. The living room easily fits both a dining table/WFH area plus a classic, comfortable living seating area. The kitchen is also very ample, and is a large galley/eat in kitchen, thoughtfully renovated and designed with a Waterworks sensibility. There are lots of cabinets creating tons of storage space reaching to the 9 foot ceiling as well as over 12 linear feet of marble topped counters for prep and serious cooking. The appliances are high-end stainless steel; the fridge is a super tall Liebherr, the stove is a 36 inch Bertazzoni, the dishwasher is a Miehle. The back splash is glass tile and the floors are large limestone tiles. The kitchen sink is a large farmhouse apron front sink where you can conveniently hide your dishes after a dinner party. The bedroom and bath are en-suite with a 12 foot wall of gorgeous custom floor to ceiling closets, measuring about 2 feet deep. Designed with burled wood, and a top stitched leather pull detail, there are 25 different compartments for different types of clothing and storage needs including an 8 foot vertical drawer for shoes which can accommodate any shoe lovers collection. Additionally, there’s a dedicated hanging coat closet, linen closet, a pull out desk, as well as a multitude of drawers for folded clothing.

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.
