This is Your Chance
This is a truly exceptional opportunity to own an historic, sunny home in prime Brooklyn Heights. Just two blocks from the Promenade, it comes with a notable history: it is one of oldest Federal-period houses in Brooklyn. Built in the 1820s, it is an inviting echo of our neighborhood’s earliest days. From the original newel posts and ornate wrought-iron work leading to the front door of this 25-foot-wide home, one enters a gracious, yet comfortably cozy parlor floor. Both the front parlor and formal dining area in the rear parlor have working fireplaces, the original tin ceilings, and a variety of period details. The fully-equipped kitchen in the rear looks out over a superbly cultivated garden, with koi pond, a wooden deck, multiple levels and outdoor spaces, and a magnificent flowering cherry tree.
In the downstairs garden level, tin ceilings and wainscoting continue the period feel through two of the home’s six bedrooms, an entrance hall from separate front doorway, and a small kitchen with its own exit to the garden. This level could be easily be made a rental or parent apartment. The excavated, dry cellar contains recent mechanicals and plumbing, and steel posts and support beams.
The second floor houses two bedrooms, with large sunny windows. One, currently used as a study/studio features a working fireplace, double closets and built-in bookshelves. The laundry room and linen closet are also on this level. The master bedroom floor hosts a large bedroom with built-ins, large closets and an expansive picture window onto that flowering garden and sky. The master bath contains a separate shower and soaking tub, and heated towel racks. There is also a large front bedroom, and a private office with built-in shelves and beadboard wainscoting.
This signature Brooklyn Heights home is now offered at $3.75mm.
