Property Description for 39 Willow Place

Set in one of New York’s most coveted neighborhoods, 39 Willow Place in Brooklyn Heights, is an exceptionally rare offering: a 25-foot-wide, fully renovated historic townhouse where enduring architecture meets the highest standards of modern living. Originally built in 1848, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom residence spans approximately 6,000 square feet across five levels. At its heart is a bespoke Plain English kitchen, finished with honed Bianco Carrara marble and appointed with Sub-Zero, Miele, and Bertazzoni appliances. Throughout the home, solid white oak floors, restored original millwork, Forbes & Lomax hardware, and radiant heated bathroom and stone floors reflect an uncompromising attention to detail. The garden level features a legal one-bedroom suite with a full kitchen and washer/dryer, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, live-in staff, or additional entertaining space. The home also includes a dedicated wellness level with a gym, sauna, steam shower, and a power-ready room for a future wine cellar. The rear garden has been thoughtfully redesigned with an expansive eight-foot ipe terrace extending from the parlor floor, a bluestone patio, and professionally landscaped grounds, creating an exceptional setting for outdoor entertaining and everyday living. Behind its historic facade, the home has been comprehensively rebuilt with new mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, security, and networking systems. An all-electric LG heat pump HVAC system, Hempitecture insulation, and the removal of legacy gas infrastructure and chimney stacks enhance energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and long-term performance. Just moments from Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Promenade, acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and Manhattan, 39 Willow Place represents a remarkable opportunity to own one of Brooklyn Heights' finest renovated townhouses.

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.
