Description

Come home to this rarely available gem on one of Brooklyn Heights' most picturesque tree-lined blocks! You'll feel like you're walking into a country cul-de-sac as you stroll towards the water and approach 39 Remsen Street, a lovingly-maintained self-managed co-op with plenty of character. The gracious lobby has plenty of space for stroller storage. After walking up two flights, you'll find yourself in a beautiful hallway and enter #3C, full of charm, detail, and hominess. You'll start in the airy, charming living room and admire the cleverly utilized dining galley right off of it. An oversized master bedroom with double exposure, built-in bookshelves, and a fireplace that can be converted back to wood-burning is the perfect retreat after a long day at work. The large, windowed eat-in kitchen is a great place to prepare your meals, and boasts a dishwasher and washing machine (you can easily replace it with a combo unit or install one elsewhere if you prefer). A cozy second bedroom, perfect for a nursery or home office, completes the picture, and has been enlarged in the identical unit upstairs (please consult your architect if you so desire).

39 Remsen is a warmly-run cooperative with a liberal subletting policy. Cats are welcome but sorry, no dogs. First showings are at the open house on Sunday, April 24th.
