26 Pierrepont Street, 2

One of two apartments in this intimate condo building, here is your chance to own half of a Brooklyn townhouse! Built in 1904, the top two floors of 26 Pierrepont offer space, charm, and beauty. One block from the historic Brooklyn Heights Promenade, overlooking New York Harbor, on a quiet tree-lined street, the location is at the heart of Brooklyn Heights, once called New York’s first suburb. The building retains original exterior features and will continue to do so as part of the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. Apartment 2, a duplex, has a private entry hall at the top of the stoop. Up one flight, you will find a gracious living room with hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and tall windows. An office is adjacent and has been, over the years, a source of creativity for its architect-owner. There is a library between the living and dining areas. The dining room and the kitchen are graced with south-facing French doors leading to the oversized and private rear terrace garden. The terrace garden offers mature plantings, both dining and lounging areas, and a hose connection for watering. The kitchen is separated from the dining area and flooded with south light. The owner is a former caterer who had a neighborhood store at Henry and Montague. The living room, library, and dining area are all open with sweeping views of the whole floor. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom has south light, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bath. The front bedrooms - one spacious and the other nursery-sized - share the hall bath. Skylights add light to the bathrooms. Also on this floor is a large storage closet and a full laundry facility. The entire apartment has central air conditioning, with compressors on the roof. Heat is provided from the boiler in the basement, and additional storage is also located in the basement. Expenses and maintenance for the building are shared 45% / 55% with the downstairs neighbors, who have the slightly larger apartment. It is rare to find half a townhouse in such a desirable area, close to charming shops, coveted restaurants, and popular public and private schools. Reach out to us for a private showing this spring, the Heights’ most magical season.
