Description

Location, history and style blend into perfection in this large, triple-mint one-bedroom home beautifully perched on the 5th floor of the striking neo-Romanesque structure built in 1929 with a design by renowned architect H.I. Feldman. The apartment features a peerless renovation evoking modern comfort with hints of its 1920s heritage. The gorgeous hardwood floors, stripped steel original details and solid wood doors create a cocoon of comfort. The apartment features a generous, Zen-like bedroom with a walk-in-closet and fabulous rooftop views (and even a peek at NY Harbor). The windowed kitchen is compact, smart and sleek with stainless appliances and quartz countertops. The lovely entry foyer is a gracious detail often missing in one-bedroom apartments. 70 Remsen is located on arguably the most beautiful street in Brooklyn, just a block or so away from the Promenade and all the stores and shops on Montague Street. Transportation options are numerous including three major subway lines within a couple blocks.
