161 Remsen Street 3A

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.

Ten-foot ceilings run through this one-bedroom co-op at 161 Remsen Street, and the open layout carries that height from the living area into the dining area.

The working wood-burning fireplace and the oversized windows give the main room its character. The built-in desk area is a real workspace, and I'd place it well away from the bedroom so work stays out of the sleeping area.

The kitchen has custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, which is a practical daily convenience. The open plan keeps the cooking area connected to the rooms where you eat and relax, which suits hosting but gives less separation between cooking and everything else.

The private terrace is over 60 square feet, and the listing describes it for morning coffee, relaxing and entertaining friends. Outdoor space like this extends the apartment's use through warm months.

Storage is spread across custom closets, a storage space in the building and common storage in the basement. Built-in closets keep floor space clear for furniture. The building also has an elevator, laundry on site, a bike room and a roof deck, and cats and dogs are allowed. As a co-op, the purchase goes through board review, so it's worth asking early about financing and subletting rules.

The apartment sits in Brooklyn Heights, within a short walk of the Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the listing notes that nearly every subway line is close by.
