House: 59 Middagh Street

59 Middagh Street is truly in a class of its own – a 29’-wide, five-story, 6,300 square foot, newly renovated mansion. Set on a tranquil block in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, this stunning residence has been transformed into a rare blend of historic charm and modern luxury.

Originally built in 1832 for William Rog, a Professor of Hebrew at New York University, this townhome is the best Brooklyn has to offer. Serviced by an elevator on all floors, this home is adorned with luxurious features, high-end finishes, and is thoughtfully designed to utilize the incredible 29’ of frontage.

A grand stoop entry leads into the stunning and spacious triple parlor, which consists of the living room, dining room, and open chef’s kitchen. This enormous yet welcoming kitchen is outfitted with a top of the line appliance package: a 48" Wolf gas range and double oven, Subzero refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, and more. Entertaining will flow with ease in this wide open, loft-like space. Just past the kitchen is a gracious deck that leads down to a charming 1,000+ square foot garden. This property’s width is showcased by this incredible open green space; it’s a peaceful oasis with ample space for outdoor dining and entertainment. Below the parlor, on the garden floor, there is a large gym with sauna, a guest suite with en suite bathroom, wet bar, powder room, and laundry. There is a secondary entry underneath the stoop and in the rear, direct access to the garden.

The third floor features a nearly 26’-wide master bedroom suite, with a sitting area and private terrace. Additionally, this suite offers enormous walk-in closets and a luxurious master bathroom outfitted with marble and custom finishes. An additional room serves as either an office or bedroom, with a second full bathroom in the hallway.

The fourth floor boasts three gracious bedrooms, a second laundry room, and two full bathrooms. Above, the fifth floor addition presents a unique flexible space not typically found in townhouses. Possible uses for this sun-blasted space include family room, game room, or additional bedroom. Featuring both north and south facing terraces, this floor offers outstanding views of the Manhattan skyline and the rooftops of Brooklyn Heights.

Conveniently located in historic Brooklyn Heights, Number 59 is only 5 minutes from Wall Street, 15 minutes from Union Square, and 25 minutes from Grand Central. Steps from the famed Brooklyn Heights Promenade, 59 Middagh Street is also just minutes from countless shops, cafes, and restaurants. This stunning mansion truly has it all – 29’ of width, a wide open floorplan, luxurious finishes, and ample space for entertaining, in a central location surrounded by every possible amenity and convenience.
