Description

On beautiful Columbia Heights in the heart of tree-lined Brooklyn Heights, 179 Columbia Heights #22 is a light-filled studio offering more space than many one-bedroom apartments!

With two enormous east-facing windows measuring over 8' tall and looking over the serene gardens below, soaring 11' ceilings, a sleeping loft with a built-in nightstand, hardwood floors, a renovated kitchen and bath, and storage galore, this apartment could not have more charm. The full-size kitchen has solid wood cabinetry, a small breakfast bar, granite counters and a colorful tile backsplash, crisp white appliances, including a dishwasher, and tons of work and storage space. The living space easily accommodates room for dining and/or a home office area. The windowed bathroom is timelessly renovated with black and white tile, a pedestal sink, and classic fixtures. An in-unit washer and dryer sits just outside the bathroom. A large walk-in closet can be found under the loft, while additional storage is cleverly tucked away under the stairs. This wonderful apartment is perfect in every way!

Just off the Promenade, a few blocks from the 2/3 trains at Clark, the R train at Court, the 4/5 trains at Borough Hall, and the A/C trains at High Street, and close to all the great dining, shopping and amenities Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo has to offer, the location is hard to beat. This well-maintained, financially solid coop allows pets, and pied-a-terres.

The coop's ornamental facade dates to the 1920s and the Italian style of sgraffito. The building has been accredited by the Brooklyn Heights Association as one of only a handful of known examples of this style in New York City. "The embellished facade stands in striking contrast to the other buildings on the street and has become an eye-catching novelty in the neighborhood," states the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
