Description

HISTORIC HEIGHTS TOWNHOUSE This elegant 21-foot-wide 5-story Italianate brownstone in prime Brooklyn Heights offers 4915 sf of living space filled with exquisite original details, soaring ceiling heights and oversized windows. East, west, and southern exposures provide light throughout the day. The parlor floor overlooks Grace Church and the Manhattan Skyline and New York Harbor are visible after leaf-fall. A grand single-family in 1866, the home's period sensibility has been upheld with care and attention for the facade, ironwork, double door entry, a reconstructed original staircase, and 6 wood-burning fireplaces restored by the legendary Jos. A. Walas. Converted in 1969 to a 3-family, it has been occupied since 1975 as a two family. The garden apartment rental is vacant. There are a total of 12 rooms, 7 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a full cellar beneath. Outdoor space includes a charming, private courtyard garden and a terrace above the extension. Unobstructed panoramic views from the roof make it ideal for a future roof deck. Please reach out with questions and to schedule a visit.
