From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

A spacious, beautifully renovated two-bedroom co-op in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, offering flexible layout options, timeless finishes, and a full-time doorman at The Remsen. Two studios were thoughtfully combined to create this gracious home, offering the flexibility of a guest room, nursery, or office. The primary bedroom offers a private en suite bathroom, while a second full bathroom is conveniently situated just off the living room. The kitchen is sunlit and sophisticated, outfitted with high-end stainless steel appliances, a classic white railroad-tile backsplash, and elegant marble countertops - a space that is as functional as it is refined. The living space is large enough to accommodate a dining room table and plenty of seating. Built in 1928, The Remsen is a well-managed, pet-friendly, 10-story cooperative offering a full-time doorman, on-call superintendent, newly updated hallways, central laundry room, and bicycle storage. The building allows pied-a-terre, gifting, parents purchasing for children, co-purchasing, and guarantors with board approval. Just steps from the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, the home is surrounded by the neighborhood's beloved shops, restaurants, and cafes such as Inga's Bar, Vineapple, Henry's End, L'Appartment 4F, Confidant, and so many more. The 2, 3, 4, 5, and R trains offer effortless access across the city. Please note: monthly assessment of $849.42 through October 2028 will be paid by the seller. Assessment to cover facade and portico upgrades, as well as upgrades to the E and F gas lines which are expected to be restored in 2027.
