Description

BACK ON THE MARKET - Rarely available opportunity to design your dream 3 BED, 2 BATH home with PRIVATE GARDEN and wood burning fireplace , all on the best block in Brooklyn Heights! Inside an 1844 townhouse lies the untapped potential of two north and south apartments, waiting to be combined to create a garden floor-through. This combination of a one bedroom and a studio will yield a true urban oasis-- a fantastic 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with a HUGE 750 sq ft private garden, fireplace, ductless air conditioning, and even (potential to add) a washer/dryer. It's the complete Brooklyn dream! ( Fireplace is currently decorative but could be woodburning by relining the chimney.)

44 Remsen is a 10 unit pet friendly coop. Live on one of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks in Brooklyn, half a block from the famed Brooklyn Heights Promenade, with its stunning and iconic views of New York Harbor and the skyline. Also close to Brooklyn Bridge Park, the ferry to Governor's Island, and all the conveniences of Montague Street. Great restaurants and shops abound. The Heights is the first subway stop in brownstone Brooklyn near trains 2/3, R, & 4/5. So bring your contractor and your green thumb because the opportunity is yourscome have it all! (Note: These two apartments are NOT currently combined-see current layout and theoretical combination, to be vetted and confirmed by a contractor or architect.)
