Description

With a coveted corner location, this house is the perfect home in North Brooklyn Heights. One in a row of brick townhouses, this end house is flooded with light from 3 sides. A front and side entrance, combined with the private garage, are just a few of the features that make the house special.

The parlor floor has original flooring, gorgeous wood windows, restored shutters, and a working wood-burning fireplace in the parlor. The formal dining room leads to a working kitchen, half bath, and the side entrance to the house.

Upstairs the 3rd floor has a master suite (bedroom and sitting room), a lovely renovated master bath with marble counters, and an office nook in the stairwell. Here, also, beautiful wood windows contribute to the warmth and charm of the house. The top floor has 2 more large bedrooms, another renovated, full bath and an additional bedroom nook.

Below the parlor floor, the garden level is a flexible open space, now being used as a den and large playroom. The den features beautiful built- in cupboards and bookcases, solving every storage problem imaginable. Under the kitchen extension, on this floor there is a half bath and a small room serving as an exercise corner.

The full basement has been freshened and serves as further storage. The mechanicals of the house are up-to-date, with a gas boiler, gas hot water heater, and excellent electrical supply. The house also has central air conditioning on all floors. Currently used as a single family home, 40 Orange has a 3 family certificate of occupancy. The current owners have maintained and upgraded the house, making it ready for the next owners to move right in.
