Set on one of the most coveted, tree-lined blocks in Brooklyn Heights and originally built in the early 1900s as part of 25 Pierrepont Street's apartment building, 152 Willow Street underwent a complete renovation and was converted into a single-family home in 2014. Featuring three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a powder room, a private roof terrace, and a finished basement, this home boasts approximately 2,750 square feet of interior living space.
The private courtyard entry leads to a well-appointed chef's kitchen outfitted with Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele appliances, stone countertops, and a center island with a built-in wine refrigerator that seamlessly connects with the adjacent dining room. The second floor is the perfect entertaining space with a wide-open living space layout. Above, there is a gracious floor with two secondary bedrooms with en-suite marble bathrooms and spacious closet space. The full-floor primary suite sits on the fourth floor and includes a spacious bedroom, an oversized marble ensuite bath with a soaking tub, and double sinks. Through the bathroom is a large, custom-built, walk-in closet with ample storage space. A few steps above is the hidden gem of this house - a custom roof deck with lounge space, a home garden, and a BBQ grill.
152 Willow Street is only minutes from Downtown Manhattan and steps from the burgeoning retail on Montague Street, Henry Street, and Old Furman Street. With quick access to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, 152 Willow Street presents a discerning purchaser the opportunity to own a turnkey home in the heart of New York City's first historic district.
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.
