House: 154 Hicks Street

Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in Brooklyn Heights, 154 Hicks Street presents a rare opportunity – a mint condition, 5,400 square foot brownstone for under $7.3M (approx. 4,540 square feet above grade).

This home boasts a grand stoop entry, excellent light, oversized windows, loft-like ceiling heights, and restored period details. These original features have been blended with modern luxury to create a truly one of a kind space. The 60’-deep, open layout parlor floor features an enormous chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry outfitted for the 11.5’ ceilings, a 48" Wolf range, Subzero refrigerator and wine refrigerator, and an oversized marble island outfitted with a Shaw’s farm sink and secondary prep sink. This magnificent space overlooks the garden through giant steel casement windows with direct access to the new rear deck through a steel and glass door. A living room with original fireplace mantel and an oversized dining area complete this floor. And a powder room specially outfitted with a curved tile wall and a pullout mirror showcase the detail and care exercised in crafting this incredible space.

On the garden floor, there is a gracious guest suite with a private bath, a separate powder room, a hidden wet bar with Subzero refrigerator and ice maker, and a second dishwasher concealed behind custom walnut cabinetry. The family room overlooks the gracious garden through the all-new steel casement window wall, drawing in a light rarely found on a garden floor. The finished basement below has an enormous recreation space with a light well, perfect for a media room, gym, or playroom. This floor also holds a laundry room with slop sink, a wine tasting room with herringbone brick floor and brand new mechanical systems.

The full-floor master suite features a deep walk-in closet, a luxurious marble bath with a soaking tub, radiant heated floors, and oversized shower for two and a steam bath with a bench repurposed from an original fireplace mantel. The third floor has two sizeable bedrooms, both with playful en suite bathrooms and ample closet space, along with a second laundry area with side by side washer dryer, as well as a tremendous built-in bookcase to provide even more storage. And above, the top floor provides another bedroom, a full bathroom with double vanity, magnificent stall shower and a stunning stained glass skylight. This floor also offers yet another wet bar with Subzero refrigerator and ice maker and custom terrazzo slab countertop, and an additional living room with 14’ ceilings, massive copper skylight, and light pouring in from all angles.

Only minutes from Manhattan, 154 Hicks Street is conveniently located near Brooklyn’s finest schools, restaurants, and shops. And public transit is abundant, with the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, and R trains a few blocks away. Number 154 demonstrates an unrivaled combination of high-level design, elegant craftsmanship, and prime location, making this home perfect for the most discerning of purchasers.
