This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored residence, perfect as a pied-a-terre or primary home and located on one of the most coveted streets in Brooklyn Heights. Situated on the parlor level, this elegant home with thirteen foot ceilings is bathed in natural light from the striking oversized windows with stained glass transoms and interior shutters that overlook the impeccably preserved historic and quiet streetscape. Enter the apartment through the original and unique pocket door and you will be struck by the beautifully preserved original parquet floors with walnut inlay, the double crown molding, custom Mahogany built-in's, rich wood paneling, and an extraordinary wood burning fireplace with an ornate mantel that beautifully integrates dark wood and tile, among the finest surviving examples of its kind.

The spa inspired bathroom is complete with ceramic and glass tile finishes, a large glass-enclosed shower, generous storage, and a heated towel warmer. Completing the home is a custom designed mahogany Murphy bed crafted to resemble a refined armoire with four tall beveled glass folding doors, integrated lighting, and effortless functionality. 40 Remsen Street is an intimate, landmarked nine unit cooperative with a stunning entryway including a beveled mirror framing fireplace, extraordinary wood paneling, and tasteful William Morris wallpaper. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac with virtually no through traffic, the building offers a rare sense of tranquility, a dedicated storage unit, and a shared roof deck.
