House: 39 Willow Place

39 Willow Place is a stately, grand 25’-wide townhouse located on one of the most tranquil, tree-lined streets in Brooklyn Heights. This Greek Revival home dates back to the mid-1800’s and features the original red brick facade, raised stoop entry, and dentil motif cornice. Beautifully maintained, this incredible property presents a rare opportunity to create a fully customized, luxurious single-family home.

Currently configured as a three-family, 39 Willow Place retains much of its spectacular period details, including hand-carved plaster moldings, black and gold marble fireplace mantels, and a mahogany stair newel, banister, and spindles. The towering ceilings, enormous windows, and east-west positioning further accentuate the bright light that pours into the home throughout the day.

The lower triplex apartment spans the parlor, garden, and cellar floors. At the crown, an open layout triple parlor with pocket french doors and nearly 11’ ceilings. Three bedrooms sit on the garden floor; the gracious primary bedroom has direct access to the majestic rear garden. The cellar is outfitted with a full laundry room, and offers potential for additional living space and generous storage space.

Upstairs, there are two gracious floor-through apartments, each with two bedrooms, lovely living and dining rooms, and eat-in kitchens. The rear garden is lush and green, with natural grass surrounded by flowers and trees. This open space is surrounded by townhouse gardens creating a peaceful and serene backdrop from every rear window in the home.

Near the intersection of Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill, 39 Willow Place is perfectly positioned to enjoy the best establishments that these neighborhoods have to offer, including Colonie, Clover Hill, Henry Public, Swallow Cafe, and many more. Brooklyn Bridge Park which offers a plethora of outdoor activities is only two blocks away, and Manhattan is a quick car or subway ride away. This incredible opportunity to create a 25’-wide masterpiece awaits the most discerning of buyers.
