Description

Enjoy sunrise and sunset from this delightful penthouse in one of the most beautiful Beaux-Arts style buildings in Brooklyn Heights. Rising 10 stories above the street, it has three exposures and a sense of tranquility and privacy more like a country cottage than a NYC apartment. There are panoramic views of Brooklyn, NY Harbor and the Manhattan skyline. Perhaps best of all is a 935 square foot private terrace, with unobstructed light all day, a true city gardener's dream. The L-shaped layout offers a large living space, two bedrooms at opposite ends of the apartment with the kitchen and bath in between. There are hardwood floors, plaster walls and new double glazed steel casement windows. A separate large storeroom is adjacent to the apartment. Everything is in charming original condition and attention lavished here will be its own reward.
