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, oversized windows and 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 from the upper floors six months of the year.  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 is occupied by the owners on the parlor through 5th floors with a garden rental delivered vacant. There are a total of 12 rooms, 7 bedrooms, and 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. Showings by appointment will begin in October. Please reach out with questions and to schedule a visit.
