About This Property

XL studio home on a high floor, with high ceilings, great light, and pin-drop quiet in a doorman, elevator building located at the merging of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Downtown Brooklyn. In addition to the property tax, the maintenance fee includes all utilities: electric, gas, heating, cooling, water and sewer.

Perched on the 18th floor, Residence 18M uniquely delivers the highest ceilings in the building at approximately 9 feet, truly making the most of the already expansive 32 feet of living, dining and sleeping space.

An intelligent floor plan provides 3 very large, ceiling height closets as well as a functional separate kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a dressing area that leads to a spacious tile bathroom with tub and recessed medicine cabinet.

This wonderful, move-in ready home also includes real hardwood floors in excellent condition, an independently controlled heating and cooling system, a big, bright display window, and a view with sky, overlooking the copper mansard roofs of the Brooklyn Municipal Building.

The Robert Livingston recently underwent an extensive lobby renovation that now includes a modern conference/co-working area and is a pet-friendly cooperative that features a live-in superintendent, an updated gym at no additional fee, a central laundry room, storage, bike storage, and a parking garage. Furthermore, the building is situated on a quiet side street abutting the Brooklyn Heights Historic District and is just around the corner from charming Court Street offering access to a plethora of locally owned restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops, as well as a multitude of well-maintained bike paths, parks and green spaces nearby. Finally, the wide array of transportation options, museums, music venues, art galleries, educational and cultural institutions within close proximity make it easy to call the neighborhood home. Temporary assessment of $138.36 until 12/31/26.
