This building is a rare treat indeed: A 25-foot townhouse in a prime Brooklyn Heights location. With incredible ceiling height on the parlour level and 83 feet of depth, the spaciousness alone will stagger you—and everything about this building is top-notch. The façade is in immaculate condition, and the mechanicals are world-class. Brilliant sunlight floods in through huge windows. The space is currently configured as a spectacularly renovated owner’s triplex plus three floors of one-bedroom apartments. Live-with-income, or configure this as a lavish single-family home. With eight different subway lines just steps away, and the quaint shops and restaurants of Brooklyn Heights around the corner, this location—just one subway stop out of Manhattan—is simply ideal. Owner’s Triplex, Parlour Floor: Unbelievably spacious, sunny, and elegant. As you ascend the stoop, you enter this level through double glass and wood doors.

This living room is also graced by a gray granite fireplace with a mirrored overmantle. A large archway at the rear of the living room leads to the rest of the floor. One bedroom contains a fireplace with chestnut-colored tile, a rear window with garden views, and a full bath. Beyond that lies the expansive and luxurious master suite.

A mahogany fireplace with a black header and golden trim completes the room.
