Property Details
Description
Located in the heart of the coveted Willowtown section of Brooklyn Heights, 39 Willow Place is a fully renovated and reimagined 25-foot-wide townhouse originally built in 1848. Set along a charming block, the home offers the rare combination of historic character, modern functionality, and prime proximity to Manhattan. Just down a cobblestone street is the entrance to Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Configured as a legal two-family and currently used as a single-family residence, the home spans six thousand feet of reimagined space, over five floors. The custom Plain English kitchen features natural white Carrara marble counters along with Miele, Bertazzoni, and Subzero appliances.
The home features six bedrooms (five en-suite), six full bathrooms with radiant heated floors, and one powder room. The garden level includes a private in-law suite with a full kitchen and washer/dryer, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, or live-in support.
The parlor floor showcases restored historic details, including the original newel post and banister, refinished pocket doors, and revived pilasters. A custom Honduran mahogany front door was crafted as an exact replica of the original, honoring the home’s 19th-century heritage. The second and third floors provide expansive living quarters with well-proportioned bedrooms and abundant natural light. The excavated cellar adds significant bonus space and includes a gym, sauna, and steam room. A large laundry room on the top floor features a skylight, cabinetry, sink and integrated ironing board.
Fully modernized with all-electric systems including a LG heat pump HVAC system for enhanced efficiency and improved air quality. The home also features Hempitecture batt interior insulation and the removal of old chimney stacks to reduce pollutants — reflecting a thoughtful approach to sustainable living.
The expansive backyard has been completely reconstructed with an eight foot deck extension off the parlor as well a bluestone patio. This creates a rare private outdoor retreat — ideal for entertaining, dining, and relaxation. Rarely does a Brooklyn townhouse offer this level of outdoor scale and usability.
With its exceptional 25-foot width, preserved architectural detail, private outdoor space, and premier Brooklyn Heights location near Manhattan, transportation, and shopping. 39 Willow Place offers a rare opportunity to own a turnkey historic townhouse in one of New York City’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
