70 REMSEN Street #2AB

On one of the best blocks in Brooklyn Heights, in a coveted prewar full service elevator building, this large 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has room to sprawl. This architect designed home perfectly pays homage to its prewar origins with an open plan that works for today's lifestyle. At the hub of the home, overlooking the townhouses of Remsen Street through casement windows, is an open kitchen and large dining room which can easily accommodate a table for 6. Clear the table and tuck the dishes out of sight in the separate dish room with 2 drawer dishwasher. The kitchen has storage galore including a 10' wall of custom storage and a suburban sized pantry. The dining room flows seamlessly into the large living room, with its great light, and high beamed ceilings. Storage is plentiful with two walk in closets, a huge linen closet and ample proportions to the rooms if you chose to add additional built ins. Two full bathrooms both retain the original subway tile and prewar charm. All doors, moldings and radiator covers have been replaced with solid and beautifully designed choices that reflect a clean and transitional aesthetic. Beautiful white oak floors run throughout. Flexible layout could be converted to a 3 bedroom (current owners can share plans). The Remsen is a grand 1929 building whose distinctive facade, with it's marble columns and gargoyles, often attracts the gaze of neighborhood tour groups. The ornate hand carvings in the lobby have been lovingly maintained and the hallways and elevators were recently renovated. Located in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, this landmarked building is staffed with a full time superintendent and 24/7 attended lobby. There is a bike room and basement laundry room. Maintenance INCLUDES all utilities (with a small annual surcharge per air conditioner.) Dogs and cats are welcomed and pied a terres are allowed. This prime location is one block from the famed Promenade, close to the new Brooklyn Bridge Park, and near the shops, fantastic schools, restaurants and incomparable transportation (first stop from Manhattan to Brooklyn on 2/3, 4/5, A/C, & R) of Brooklyn Heights.
