From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Welcome to 298 Hicks Street, the quintessential townhouse living experience you have been searching for in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Perfectly nestled between Grace Court and State Street, this rare three-bedroom upper duplex completely breaks the mold of today's real estate market. Instead of compromising on a cookie-cutter unit inside a massive, sterile apartment complex, this property offers the history, prestige, and utter privacy of an authentic brownstone lifestyle. Spanning a sprawling approximate 2,300 square feet, this upper duplex genuinely lives like a full private house with grand scale and an effortless separation of space. You can skip the shared lobbies, crowded elevators, and co-op boards entirely. Instead, you arrive home to the quiet elegance of your own historic stoop, passing through a completely private entrance dedicated solely to your unit. The absolute hallmark of this property is its exclusive private roof deck, offering a rare, uncompromised sanctuary where you can enjoy panoramic views and host open-air gatherings - entirely on your own terms. Situated on a highly coveted, vibrant stretch of Hicks Street, you are firmly positioned on the beaten path of Brooklyn's most historic neighborhood. This means you enjoy unrivaled central convenience, allowing you to walk straight down a beautiful street, step up your stoop, and walk directly into your home. Opportunities of this caliber are extraordinarily rare and do not stay on the market long.
