About This Property
Welcome to 20 Remsen St, the pinnacle of townhome living, a 19th
century Greek Revival mansion in?the heart of the Brooklyn Heights
Historic District. This?serene five story, six-bedroom?townhouse
blends classic?elegance with the finest details and modern
luxuries.? Nestled on a uniquely elevated cul-de-sac street
that merges with the Brooklyn Heights?Promenade, this historic
brick home is nearly 26 ft wide, a two-family?row house, that rises
five stories, and beholds?four separate outdoor spaces, an owner's
quadruplex, and a separate garden apartment.?Elegant comfort
abounds in this sophisticated home featuring approximately 6,094
square ft of interior living space,?a lower level with sauna?and
built-out wine cellar, and a roof terrace with 360-degree skyline
views.?The home also offers three wood-burning fireplaces,
state-of-the-art security, and central air?systems. The
front steps rise to a dramatic double-door entry accessing the
vestibule which opens to the?original grand staircase
and?gracious?parlor floor with soaring 12-foot ceilings. The
sun-filled living room and formal dining room?are beset by hard
wood flooring, custom millwork, fine picked?plasterwork, marble
mantels, shuttered windows, and?more?charming details. Step into
the immaculate gourmet?kitchen overlooking the garden, with an
abundance of custom cabinetry, honed black granite countertops,
a?deep oversized sink, and stainless-steel appliances.? The
owner's quadruplex begins on the parlor level with formal living
and dining rooms and a?windowed gourmet kitchen. The dining room
extends onto a spacious veranda with access to a?garden oasis.?The
kitchen is adorned with stone countertops, custom cabinets,
and?stainless-steel appliances from Bosch, Dynasty and Sub-Zero.
This floor of the home is where cherished memories are created.
It's a place for cozy moments in front of a crackling fireplace,
joyful gatherings in the kitchen while baking and sharing nibbles
with loved ones, and seamless indoor/outdoor living that allows for
entertaining with open French doors against the backdrop of a
beautiful summer sunset. The third level has a pair of
bedrooms with walk-in closets that share access to a?windowed
bathroom with a deep soaking tub. One of these?bedrooms has a
private balcony overlooking the garden. The library room, perhaps a
nod to the home's notable literary history, rounds out this floor.
On the fourth level is a gorgeous primary suite and another
large bedroom and bathroom. The primary suite?has two walk-in
closets and windowed en-suite bathroom with step-in shower and deep
soaking tub, while the additional bedroom has easy access?to an
additional bathroom. All the bedrooms have mantels, including some
Greek Revival-style marble. The fifth level is an open
entertaining room with soaring ceilings, skylights, a wet
bar,?a?windowed powder room, and a tranquil study (or additional
bedroom or home office). The private rooftop deck offers
incredible?views of the Manhattan skyline and New York harbor.?
The cellar level has a laundry room, cedar closet,?storage
rooms, a spa sauna with shower suite, and a separate 1,800-bottle
temperature-controlled?wine cellar. ?? The Garden unit has a
private entrance, a large living room, a kitchen,?a bathroom with
laundry,?and a spacious bedroom, with access to a lush garden with
stone pavers and tall privacy?fencing.?This could be the perfect
space for an in-law suite, guest apartment, studio, space for your
office/practice, or more. Built circa 1857, 20 Remsen Street
was the former writing studio of a reputed American?novelist.?This
rarely available home has been reconfigured and renovated by Di
Donno Associates?Architects P.C. preserving and restoring elegant
historic details throughout.?This stunning?home is moments from the
Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, One 15 Brooklyn Marina, a variety
of sporting facilities, award-winning dining and shopping options
and DUMBO and Cobble?Hill. Nearby subway lines include the 2, 3, 4,
5, A, C, R. and the NYC Ferry also serves directly to Brooklyn
Heights.
