At the heart of the home is a true chef's kitchen - the perfect marriage of form and function, equipped with a Bertazonni cooktop/oven, Liebherr fridge and Miele dishwasher and smartly-designed custom cabinetry and pantry by Leicht, providing ample storage. The open, windowed, kitchen has a large peninsula with breakfast bar and flows seamlessly into the expansive living and dining area which boasts a wall of north-facing windows with spectacular skyline views.
Tucked away at the eastern corner of the home, the serene primary bedroom suite is outfitted with floor-to-ceiling custom-designed closets (also by Leicht) and has both northern and eastern exposures to enjoy the spectacular views and let in sunshine throughout the day. Creatively integrated into the primary suite is a custom-designed home office with a built-in desk and cabinetry. The windowed, primary bathroom has a soaking tub, dual-faucet vanity, linen closet, as well as a full-sized LG washer and vented dryer. At the other end of the home are the queen-sized 2nd and 3rd (and possibly 4th) bedrooms, each with open skyline views, plus a newly renovated bathroom with large stall shower and gorgeous handmade Zia tiles.
The Emory Roth-designed St. George Tower is a full-service coop with 24-hour doorman, onsite building manager and super, a spectacular roof deck with 360-degree views of NYC, bike storage, additional basement storage (subject to availability), laundry on every third floor, and pet-friendly. Situated near Brooklyn Bridge Park and the promenade, as well as the popular shops and restaurants of Brooklyn Heights and nearby DUMBO, and public transport just around the corner (2/3 at Clark Street, A/C at High Street, 4/5/R at Court St/Boro Hall). Assessment of $399.43/month is in place until the end of the year.
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.
