58 Remsen Street, 1-R

Positioned on the sun-filled corner of Remsen and Hicks Streets and just one block to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, this Parlor level 2BR/1.5BA co-op with extraordinarily rare, double-lot (2000+sf) private garden at 58 Remsen Street is the idyllic townhouse living experience. Enter the apartment’s foyer, past a half-bath and deep front hall closet and you are swept up in the apartment’s Parlor level features: 11'4" ceilings, gorgeous window and wall trim, wood floors, exposed brick and a working fireplace. Sunlight streams into the living room from three windows, showing garden views from every angle, mature tree tops and blue skies. The inviting kitchen is open to the living area and has generous storage, a sink hidden from guest’s sight, gas range, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Just off the kitchen is the primary bedroom with east-facing windows bringing in lovely daylight. This bedroom has a walk-in closet and can fit a king-sized bed. The apartment's renovated windowed bathroom is aesthetically pleasing with a wall of cabinetry that hides everything from sight. Head to the rear of the apartment and find the well-sized second bedroom with an east-facing window and southern exposure. Step through the bedroom’s glass double doors and prepare to be wowed: over 2000sf of fully self-irrigated gardens. It is impossible to overstate the beauty of this garden: There is a charming deck with lush boughs of wisteria, bluestone pavers and two large patios for enjoying your private garden oasis. A leafy tree canopies the large outdoor dining area with plenty of room to host. Pad down the bluestone pavers with verdant plantings on either side to the second, larger patio: a sprawling seating area with a self-standing brick fireplace. There is also a private gated entrance off of Grace Court. This singular garden is an unparalleled delight: areas in which to congregate, walkways that allow you to meander and take in the dozens of plants, flowers and trees as they bloom and grow. 58 Remsen is a 10-unit co-op. The building is pet-friendly, unfortunately no pied-a-terres allowed. Just one block to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, this apartment is in the heart of historic Brooklyn Heights and close to all the conveniences of city life. Close to Borough Hall and seven subway lines and CitiBike stations. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a Parlor level apartment with probably the largest, most exquisite backyard in all of landmarked Brooklyn Heights.
