About This Property
Perched above the treetops of Brooklyn Heights, Residence 8C at 160 Henry Street frames sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and East River from a series of beautifully scaled pre-war rooms. Spanning over 2,300 square feet, the residence was thoughtfully created through the seamless combination of two apartments and meticulously renovated in 2018, bringing modern livability to classic 1920s architecture.A gracious entry foyer introduces the home and establishes the apartment's sense of proportion. Just beyond, a richly detailed library wrapped in floor-to-ceiling rift-cut oak millwork offers warmth and quiet. Custom shelving and pocket doors allow the room to function equally well as a guest suite, complete with its own full bath.The living room is defined by natural light and expansive eastern and southern exposures, with open views stretching across both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Chevron-patterned oak floors run underfoot, while a traditional wood-burning fireplace with marble mantle anchors the space.Nearby, the dining room is designed for gatherings at scale. A tray ceiling and custom molding frame the room, while a wall of windows draws in light throughout the day.The kitchen balances craftsmanship and utility. Soapstone countertops, a marble island, Viking and Miele appliances, and a comfortable breakfast nook create a space suited to both daily living and entertaining. Just beyond are a home office, an additional full bath, and a dedicated laundry room with generous storage.The private wing of the apartment offers a quiet retreat. The primary suite is centered around oversized bay windows and includes a custom walk-in closet with dressing area and a beautifully finished marble bath with cast-iron soaking tub and separate shower. A second bedroom completes this portion of the home.Built in 1924, 160 Henry Street remains one of Brooklyn Heights' most established full-service pre-war cooperatives. Residents enjoy white-glove service including a 24-hour doorman, elevator attendant, and a landscaped roof terrace with panoramic views of Manhattan and the harbor.Located in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, the building sits moments from the Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the neighborhood's cafés, restaurants, and boutiques. Multiple subway lines provide quick access to Manhattan just minutes away.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Serhant.
Residence 8C is laid out in distinct zones. There's a richly detailed library with oak millwork just past the entry, and pocket doors let it work as a guest suite with its own full bath. The living room and dining room form the middle of the home, and the private wing holds the primary suite and a second bedroom.
The living room faces east and south, so there's morning light from the east windows and a long run of sun on the south side. In December, the south windows can catch direct sun for about 8.5 hours, and in June the east windows keep getting sun until about 12:44 PM. Those are open-horizon figures, and nearby buildings can block some of that light.
The kitchen's soapstone counters, marble island, Viking and Miele appliances, and breakfast nook keep everyday meals close to the living room. There's a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer in the unit. I like that the laundry room has generous storage of its own.
The primary suite has oversized bay windows, a custom walk-in closet with a dressing area, and a marble bath with a cast-iron soaking tub and a separate shower. There are three bathrooms in all, and the living room has a wood-burning fireplace with a marble mantle.
Court Street station, with the 2, 3, 4, 5 and R trains, is about four minutes on foot, and Clark Street, for the 2 and 3, is about three minutes away. Cadman Plaza Park is about four minutes on foot and Columbus Park about five. The home has a city view, and pets are allowed in the building.
