House: 43 Remsen Street

43 Remsen Street is a magnificent, 20’-wide, townhouse on one of the finest blocks in New York City. The stoop offers views of New York Harbor and immense, leafy trees line both sides of the street, creating a picturesque and one-of-a-kind setting.

Behind the grand and stately facade is nearly 5,500 square feet of space (not including the cellar), with lovely period details preserved throughout. A grand original staircase anchors the home and entry, leading to the incredible triple parlor. The soaring ceiling heights and oversized windows allow natural light to flow into the space, and the depth of this floor creates a gracious layout. A clean and contemporary kitchen sits in the rear, connecting seamlessly to the living and dining rooms in front. Marble fireplace mantels, crown mouldings, 12” base mouldings, and original door and window casings add charm and history to this incredible floor.

Upstairs are three floors of bedrooms and bathrooms, all adorned with the same charming period details. A skylight pushes light down through the center of the building, and the front windows overlook a charming and classic view of Remsen Street through a bright and airy southern exposure.

The garden floor is currently configured as an office, and the rear leads to a spectacular, landscaped bluestone garden. This immaculate outdoor space is anchored by a charming brick wall, reminiscent of a historic English garden.

43 Remsen Street is a grand and stately home, with outstanding ceiling heights, historic charm, and limitless potential. This marvelous brownstone awaits a new owner, seeking to be the next steward of this spectacular home. Only minutes from Manhattan, steps from the famed Brooklyn Heights Promenade, and surrounded by the best of Brownstone Brooklyn, Number 43 truly has it all.
