This circa 1844 brownstone duplex is located on one of the most sought-after blocks in Brooklyn Heights. Originally built as a single-family home, the apartment showcases what may have been the grandest room in the house: a 15' by 20' great room framed by a 12' coffered ceiling, paneled walls, intricately detailed oak trim, and a wood-burning fireplace. A stunning southern wall of stained glass windows-each depicting one of the four seasons-adds a distinctive touch. Just beyond this window wall lies the first of two planted terraces.
At the opposite end of the great room, a large breakfast bar opens into a modern kitchen designed to blend seamlessly with its old-world surroundings. The kitchen features classic 19th-century cabinetry, soapstone counters, and high-end appliances, including a Liebherr refrigerator, Bertazzoni range, and Miele dishwasher.
Equally impressive is the apartment's spacious living room, which rivals the great room as a central gathering space. It includes another wood-burning fireplace, a full wall of built-in cabinetry for storage and display, and a remarkable antique safe. This original family safe has been repurposed to reveal a bar, creating a unique and memorable backdrop for entertaining. A full bathroom with a footed tub completes the first floor.
Upstairs, the large primary bedroom features a third wood-burning fireplace and an en-suite bath. Just off the bedroom is a multi-level planted terrace, offering a peaceful retreat or an inviting space for hosting larger gatherings.
Currently configured as a grand one-bedroom, the apartment can easily be converted into a two-bedroom layout by transforming the great room into a combined living and dining area and using the existing living room as a second bedroom.
Located at 44 Remsen Street, this intimate eight-unit co-op is just moments from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, making it an ideal home for those who love to entertain and enjoy a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Located on the water just below DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights is an affluent neighborhood full of brownstones and beautiful views. Though it's an upscale neighborhood, Brooklyn Heights welcomes visitors who want to walk along the beautiful piers and prominades of the neighborhood.
Brooklyn Heights started out as a port for ferries, supplying materials and resources to the farms in the area. The neighborhood was quickly fortified due to its strategic location, which is why George Washington retreated here after his defeat during the Battle of Long Island.
In 1814, the New York and Brooklyn Steamboat Company began to run scheduled ferries between Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan, encouraging further development. By the 1860's the area had a grid system, as well as all the other amenities of other high profile neighborhoods. Unlike other high profile neighborhoods, Brooklyn Heights became an important part of the abolitionist movement, helping…
