Description

Take details by 19th century artisans such as carved wood moldings and inlay floors, a statuesque wood-burning fireplace with burled maple inlay and wed them with soaring ceiling heights, a bright southern exposure, two sky lights, a warm, yet sleek top-notch kitchen renovation and you have the perfect fusion of old and new. This top-floor one-bedroom coop apartment is on one of the prettiest streets in Brooklyn Heights just steps from the world-famous Brooklyn Heights Promenade. The kitchen has been masterly renovated with a Bertazzoni range, granite counters, stone backsplash, and a Blomberg refrigerator. This home achieves the near impossible: even while boasting all its dramatic woodwork and details, it still retains an undeniable lightness of being. Is it the tree-top views and the fact that you are on the top floor with no one above you? Is it the separate areas for dining, study, sleep and entertaining? You must come see this jewel to decide for yourself. Come to the fourth floor its worth the walk up! Cats allowed, sorry no dogs.
