    What's special

    Private backyardDistinguished italianate brownstoneVolume light and scalePromenade frontage
    "Buy land, they're not making it anymore." - Mark Twain HISTORY Built in the early 1860s, 194 Columbia Heights is a distinguished Italianate brownstone within Brooklyn Heights-one of New York City's first designated historic districts. Originally constructed for a prominent Brooklyn family, the home reflects the grandeur and ambition of the era, when Brooklyn Heights emerged as a retreat for New York's elite-offering space, light, and commanding views of the harbor. Over time, like many of the great houses along Columbia Heights, it evolved with the city and was later configured as a multi-family residence-bringing us to today, where it now stands vacant and ready for its next chapter. THE LEGACY Opportunities like this are not just rare-they are anticipated. Within Brooklyn Heights, there has long been a quiet understanding: that one day, one of the last undeveloped brownstones on the Promenade would become available. This is that moment. To acquire 194 Columbia Heights is to secure more than a property. It is to claim a priceless asset in one of the most storied locations in the world. It is to create a masterpiece that will endure for generations. THE LAST OPPORTUNITY Along the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade-where history, serenity, and sweeping harbor views converge-there exists a singular and increasingly rare offering: A fully vacant, 25-foot-wide brownstone. Over 7,500 square feet of untapped potential. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to create something truly your own. In a landmarked neighborhood defined by preservation, the ability to acquire and fully customize a townhouse of this scale-directly on the Promenade-is extraordinarily rare. For years, buyers, builders, and residents alike have waited for an opportunity like this-one of the last undeveloped brownstones on the Promenade to come to market. This is not simply a home. This is the moment they've been waiting for. THE FLEXIBILITY Currently configured as a multi family building and delivered vacant, 194 Columbia Heights offers a remarkable range of possibilities: A grand single-family residence of exceptional scale? A luxurious multi-family with a breathtaking owner's duplex or triplex overlooking the harbor? A boutique condominium conversion with irreplaceable views? With no existing tenants, the building is a true blank canvas-allowing complete freedom to design, configure, and maximize its full potential. THE DIMENSIONS 25 feet in width-an extraordinary proportion rarely found. Approx 7,500 square feet of interior space. A private backyard-an unexpected and tranquil retreat. Volume, light, and scale combine to offer the framework for a truly world-class residence or investment. THE VIEWS From this privileged vantage point, New York reveals itself in its most cinematic form: Unobstructed views over New York Harbor The enduring presence of the Statue of Liberty Sweeping panoramas of the Manhattan skyline Protected, iconic, and ever-changing-these views are among the most valuable in all of New York real estate. 194 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS There are many beautiful townhouses in Brooklyn Heights. There are few (22) with Promenade frontage. There are even fewer that offer scale, views, and complete creative freedom. And there is only one currently on the market that offers all three. This is the last chance to build your legacy on the Promenade. Finally...Welcome Home! All showings are by appointment only, and buyers must be accompanied by an architect and/or contractor.
