Welcome to 39 Remsen Street, 4A, a beautifully appointed one-bedroom, one-bathroom co-op in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Thoughtfully renovated while preserving the home’s remarkable original details dating back to the 1870s, seamlessly blending historic charm with modern touches.
10ft soaring ceilings and an original grand pocket door frame the entrance to the expansive living room. Elegant and full of character, the home features original crown molding, hardwood floors, and an ornate wooden mantel surrounding a functioning wood-burning fireplace.
Three oversized south-facing windows span the living room and bedroom, flooding the home with beautiful natural light throughout the day. Original wood shutters fold back into the window frames, adding warmth and character to the grand floor-to-ceiling windows.
Through two original large wood doors, you enter the oversized primary bedroom, which features two large closets and abundant natural light. The home’s kitchen and bathroom have both been thoughtfully renovated, with skylights in each bringing even more light into these beautifully updated spaces.
39 Remsen Street is one of Brooklyn Heights’ most storied residential buildings and is the neighborhood’s oldest purpose-built apartment house, dating to the 1870s. Built by George L. Morse, the first president of the Franklin Trust Company, the building is a true piece of Brooklyn history.
Ideally situated on one of Brooklyn Heights’ most coveted tree-lined streets, the building is just down the street from Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Residents enjoy a part-time superintendent and dedicated basement storage for each shareholder. The neighborhood’s beloved restaurants, cafés, and shops are all close by, including L’Appartement 4F and Sahadi’s on nearby Atlantic Avenue, while Borough Hall offers convenient access to multiple subway lines.
