About This Property

A masterfully executed ground-up new construction townhouse by the highly regarded Steering House, 33 Joralemon Street is a rare offering in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Built to certified Passive House standards, the residence delivers an exceptionally quiet, healthy, and energy-efficient living experience, combining sophisticated design, exceptional craftsmanship, and thoughtful modern conveniences.

Featuring a private curb-cut garage with electric vehicle charging, expansive indoor-outdoor living, and beautifully curated finishes throughout, the home offers a seamless blend of modern luxury and everyday functionality just steps from Brooklyn Bridge Park. Its Passive House design incorporates triple-glazed windows, superior insulation, and a continuous fresh-air filtration system, creating exceptional indoor air quality, consistent year-round temperatures, and a remarkable level of quiet rarely experienced in New York City.

Spanning six levels, the residence is defined by generous proportions, intuitive flow, and a refined, yet elevated material palette. Exceptional craftsmanship and carefully considered details are evident throughout, from Madera wood floors and Rocky Mountain Hardware to Waterworks plumbing fixtures and a sophisticated collection of designer lighting.

The parlor floor is centered around a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring custom oak cabinetry, a Wolf induction range, Sub-Zero fridge and freezer, Waterworks fixtures, and a thoughtfully designed walk-in pantry that provides ample storage while allowing everyday appliances to be tucked discreetly out of view. Generous living and dining spaces are complemented by garden views at the rear and treetop views along Joralemon Street, creating an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

The garden level is designed for daily living, with direct access from the private garage, a proper entry foyer, and a spacious family room that opens to the beautifully landscaped backyard, creating a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The garage is equipped with EV charging, remote access, and the added convenience of secure in-garage package delivery. Additional modern conveniences have been thoughtfully integrated throughout the home, including Lutron motorized shades, Sonos ceiling speakers, keyless entry and intercom access, radiant floor heating, and a snow-melt system in the sidewalk and driveway.

Below, the cellar level extends the living space with a gym, game room or guest suite, laundry room, full bathroom, and a unique light-filled courtyard. Accessible from this courtyard, a separate ancillary space tucked beneath the garden and illuminated by a large skylight offers exceptional flexibility, ideal for a wine cellar, music room, home theater, or additional recreation space rarely found in townhouse living.

The upper floors are thoughtfully arranged to provide both privacy and versatility. The primary suite occupies its own level, complete with two walk-in closets, a spa-like bathroom featuring a Waterworks steam shower, a private terrace, and an additional bedroom or closet space. Two additional bedrooms, a second dedicated laundry area, and flexible spaces for home office or guest use are distributed across the upper levels, culminating in a top-floor retreat with access to a spectacular roof deck offering sweeping views of Downtown Manhattan and New York Harbor.

Positioned on one of Brooklyn Heights' most coveted blocks, 33 Joralemon Street is moments from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and directly adjacent to the 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park, offering immediate access to waterfront paths, green space, and some of the most iconic views in the city. The neighborhood's acclaimed restaurants, cafés, and boutiques further enhance the lifestyle, while multiple subway lines and the NYC Ferry provide convenient access to Manhattan and beyond. The home is zoned for PS 8 and is within easy reach of neighborhood institutions including Packer Colle

Agent's Note

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

The garden level has direct access from the private garage, an entry foyer, and a family room that opens to the backyard. Upstairs, the parlor floor is built around a kitchen with custom oak cabinetry, a Wolf induction range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, and a walk-in pantry that keeps everyday appliances out of sight.

The house is a ground-up new construction townhouse by Steering House, built to certified Passive House standards. The envelope uses triple glazing, high-performance insulation, and a constant supply of filtered fresh air, which is what keeps temperatures steady through the year and the air inside cleaner. Spread across six levels, it gives you a lot of separation between floors, and the stairs are part of living here.

The cellar extends the house with a gym, a game room or guest suite, a laundry room, a full bathroom, and a light-filled courtyard. There's also a washer and dryer in the unit, which I'd put near the top of any list for everyday life.

Brooklyn Bridge Park is about a minute on foot, and Adam Yauch Park is about two. The Court Street station, served by the 2, 3, 4, 5 and R, is about 9 minutes away, and Key Food is about 5 minutes.

Lutron motorized shades, Sonos ceiling speakers, keyless entry and radiant floor heating are integrated throughout, with a snow-melt system under the sidewalk and driveway. The house also has garden views at the rear and treetop views along Joralemon Street, which are worth seeing in person.
