Prepare to be greeted by a formal entryway with multiple closets, perfect for entertaining or just a comfortable landing after the end of a long day. A spacious living room awaits with oversized windows facing West and East, offering a spectacular and sunny view of the East River and the treelined entrance to the promenade and Montague Streets. Adjacent to the living room is a true formal dining room, a lost amenity in modern buildings, affording you the perfect place to entertain, or use as a guest room or home office if that better suits your needs. Across the hall a modern windowed eat-in kitchen includes a wet bar for easy entertaining close to the dining room, and is large enough to easily accommodate a casual daily dining table. Professional and home cooks will be equally impressed by the renovated kitchen that includes upper and lower white cabinetry offering fantastic storage, an oversized Sub-Zero Fridge, Thermador Professional Range, DW, black granite countertops, and a double sink perfectly situated below the window. Place your garbage in the second entrance outside of the kitchen for ease and convenience and for the porter to whisk away at a moment's notice.
The south side of the apartment has been artfully arranged into two spacious bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bathroom, and conveniently set apart from the common entertaining areas. The first bedroom has been outfitted with a wall of built-in bookshelves and custom millwork and makes the perfect home office and/or guest bedroom. A windowed bathroom was recently renovated with a timeless classic palette that includes a white storage vanity, pedestal sink, Nero Marquina marble floors, and a glass enclosed walk-in shower with perfectly suited white and black subway-tiled walls. The Primary suite is a sight to behold with FOUR spacious closets, a wonderful vista overlooking Montague terrace with tree-lined views of the historic homes across the street, and spacious enough to accommodate king-sized furniture. The ensuite bathroom was also recently renovated with a nod to the classics and includes Carrara marble floors, white shiplap walls, vanity and tub surround, and wonderfully aged brass cross handled fixtures.

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.
