A gracious entry foyer introduces the home and establishes the apartment's sense of proportion. Just beyond, a richly detailed library wrapped in floor-to-ceiling rift-cut oak millwork offers warmth and quiet. Custom shelving and pocket doors allow the room to function equally well as a guest suite, complete with its own full bath.
The living room is defined by natural light and expansive eastern and southern exposures, with open views stretching across both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Chevron-patterned oak floors run underfoot, while a traditional wood-burning fireplace with marble mantle anchors the space.
Nearby, the dining room is designed for gatherings at scale. A tray ceiling and custom molding frame the room, while a wall of windows draws in light throughout the day.
The kitchen balances craftsmanship and utility. Soapstone countertops, a marble island, Viking and Miele appliances, and a comfortable breakfast nook create a space suited to both daily living and entertaining. Just beyond are a home office, an additional full bath, and a dedicated laundry room with generous storage.
The private wing of the apartment offers a quiet retreat. The primary suite is centered around oversized bay windows and includes a custom walk-in closet with dressing area and a beautifully finished marble bath with cast-iron soaking tub and separate shower. A second bedroom completes this portion of the home.
Built in 1924, 160 Henry Street remains one of Brooklyn Heights' most established full-service pre-war cooperatives. Residents enjoy white-glove service including a 24-hour doorman, elevator attendant, and a landscaped roof terrace with panoramic views of Manhattan and the harbor.
Located in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, the building sits moments from the Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the neighborhood's cafés, restaurants, and boutiques. Multiple subway lines provide quick access to Manhattan just minutes away.
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.
