Experience quintessential Brooklyn Heights one block off Montague Street and two blocks off the legendary Brooklyn promenade in this adorable and affordable first floor studio at 70 Remsen Street, an exquisite and historic pre-war building originally constructed in 1929. Offering a blend of modern convenience and classic charm, this home features high ceilings with beams and large windows, and is just waiting to be loved and cared for.

This unit is unique in that there are no neighbors on either side (there are stairwells instead), providing an oasis of quiet. Upon entry, you will find a generous foyer and coat/utility closet with additional space to take a load off and hang your coats, keys and bags.

The open living area accommodates both lounging and sleeping, with 2 oversized east-facing windows facing a serenely peaceful back courtyard (unit faces the side of an adjacent brick apartment building roughly 30 feet away, and is roughly 30 feet off the ground).

The windowed kitchen includes a gas stove, microwave, and full size fridge, and is waiting for your imagination to reinvent this compact yet functional space (there is currently no dishwasher). Listing agent can share share numerous ways and floor plans to reconfigure this space, but it can also be used just as it is.

The building is located just moments from the iconic Brooklyn Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Montague Street's vibrant shops and restaurants, and multiple subway lines (2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, R), offering unparalleled convenience. Every other convenience you could need is within a block or two.

PLEASE NOTE!! there is currently scaffolding set up around the first floor windows of this building, to address local law 11 facade compliance work estimated to be completed by September of 2025. Like many pre-war co-ops, there is also an ongoing assessment ($376.20 per month) through November 2026 which can be negotiated, that in this case includes not just the facade work in 2025, but work on the front entryway doors in 2026.

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.
