Welcome to 40 Remsen Street #7, a meticulously renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bath residence in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. This distinctive home occupies a storied Gilded Age Victorian mansion that was once home to Alfred Tredway White, Brooklyn's renowned philanthropist and social reformer who pioneered the nation's first model housing developments.… Read More Today, this landmarked building has been transformed into an intimate 10-unit co-op, offering residents a rare blend of historic grandeur and contemporary sophistication on the same block as the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Upon entering through an elegant foyer, you'll discover a light-filled sanctuary where soaring ceilings and oversized windows frame the living space. The beautifully preserved wood-burning fireplace serves as a stunning architectural focal point, while dark satin-finished oak floors and recessed lighting provide modern refinement. The generously proportioned bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed and full bedroom set, with an adjacent open seating area that creates a perfect reading nook or additional relaxation space. Throughout the home, thoughtful details include restored window shutters, three generous closets (including two walk-ins), and an architect-designed flexible wall system that allows you to customize the space. The open Scavolini kitchen showcases premium appliances installed in 2022, including Liebherr and Summit refrigeration, a convection speed oven, and Miele dishwasher, all complemented by sleek quartz countertops. The Porcelanosa-tiled bathroom features an oversized glass-enclosed shower, creating a spa-like retreat. This boutique co-op offers residents access to a shared roof deck with sweeping views of the East River and Manhattan skyline, along with a private basement storage locker for each unit. The building's intimate scale fosters a true sense of community while maintaining privacy and tranquility. Perfectly positioned on one of Brooklyn Heights' most coveted tree-lined blocks, this home is on the same block as the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and just one block from vibrant Montague Street, where neighborhood favorites like the famed L'Appartement 4F await. Brooklyn Bridge Park and Dumbo are within easy reach, while Atlantic Avenue's dining corridor and the Court and Smith Street scenes provide endless options. With convenient access to the 2/3/4/5/A/C/F/R trains, Manhattan is just minutes away, making this an ideal Brooklyn Heights residence that honors its distinguished past while embracing modern living.
