24 Middagh Street is a rare two-family Brooklyn Heights compound-featuring a fully rebuilt main house, a separate carriage house, and private parking, all centered around a private courtyard.
The main house spans approximately 3,357 square feet across four levels, offering 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, two offices, a music room, and a playroom. A garden-level extension creates seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, anchored by a sculptural custom staircase by New York Stairs. Bathrooms are finished with arched transitions, handmade tile, and spa-like detailing.
The home was completely re-engineered behind its preserved shell, including reinforced structure, steel beams, new roof framing, and a steel portico connecting to the courtyard.
The chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, JennAir refrigerator, Miele induction cooktop, Bosch oven, and Calacatta Viola marble from ABC Stone, with a large island and walk-in pantry designed for entertaining.
The lower level has been transformed into a fully usable space with a poured concrete slab and micro-topping finish-ideal for a gym, media room, or storage.
A seven-zone HVAC system with Nest integration, ERV ventilation, and airtight construction deliver modern comfort, while all-wood exterior materials and double-hung wood windows preserve the home's character.
The courtyard has been thoughtfully designed with driveway access, a handcrafted Alaskan Clear Cedar gate, and integrated drainage tied into the city sewer system.
The separate carriage house (approx. 900 sq ft) offers 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a wood-burning fireplace, and its own HVAC-ideal for guests, a studio, or a private office.
With 24 feet of width, two distinct dwellings, and private parking, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey Brooklyn Heights property that works equally well as a single-family residence, multi-generational home, or income-producing investment
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.
