Light filled, architecturally unique and spacious

““Light filled, architecturally unique and spacious,” is just a start in describing this top-floor, two-bedroom co-op near the East River in Brooklyn Heights. It exudes the spirit of a peaceful Paris atelier with striking cathedral ceilings that exceed 15 feet in height. The large living/dining area has views overlooking brownstone Brooklyn and is situated under the gable of this c.1885 Queen Anne-style building. Despite the former hotel’s Victorian vintage, the clean renovation and four skylights allow a modern homeowner to express his/her contemporary aesthetic. The kitchen has been stylishly renovated with full-sized GE Profile appliances, granite countertops and more than ample storage. The bathroom has a sink, tub and shower on one side and, separated by an interior door, a toilet and vanity. The floor is finished in tumbled marble mosaic. The primary bedroom has a double closet and striking views, while the second bedroom is large enough for a queen-size bed and features a tall arched window and two closets. With a total of six closets, storage will not be a challenge. For those who value peace, privacy and quiet, this apartment delivers all three. The elevator takes you up to this 8th-floor apartment, with easy access to the building’s common roof deck (one flight up), outfitted with grill, furniture and stunning views. Laundry is conveniently located in the basement, and a very attentive super is at hand. If you’re looking for prime Brooklyn Heights, this is it: mere blocks to the Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, transportation — and all the great shops and restaurants that have made Montague Street the venerable and enduring retail destination it’s been for decades.”
