CURRENTLY CONFIGURED AS A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT - EASILY CONVERTIBLE TO TWO!
This circa 1844 brownstone duplex is located on one of the most sought-after blocks in Brooklyn Heights. Originally built as a single-family home, the apartment showcases what may have been the grandest room in the house: a 15' by 20' great room framed by a 12' coffered ceiling, paneled walls, intricately detailed oak trim, and a wood-burning fireplace. A stunning southern wall of stained glass windowseach depicting one of the four seasonsadds a distinctive touch. Just beyond this window wall lies the first of two planted terraces.
At the opposite end of the great room, a large breakfast bar opens into a modern kitchen designed to blend seamlessly with its old-world surroundings. The kitchen features classic 19th-century cabinetry, soapstone counters, and high-end appliances, including a Liebherr refrigerator, Bertazzoni range, and Miele dishwasher.
Equally impressive is the apartment's spacious living room, which rivals the great room as a central gathering space. It includes another wood-burning fireplace, a full wall of built-in cabinetry for storage and display, and a remarkable antique safe. This original family safe has been repurposed to reveal a bar, creating a unique and memorable backdrop for entertaining. A full bathroom with a footed tub completes the first floor.
Upstairs, the large primary bedroom features a third wood-burning fireplace and an en-suite bath. Just off the bedroom is a multi-level planted terrace, offering a peaceful retreat or an inviting space for hosting larger gatherings.
Located at 44 Remsen Street, this intimate eight-unit co-op is just moments from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, making it an ideal home for those who love to entertain and enjoy a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
