Why It’s So Popular
Searching for that ever-elusive balance of classic charm and contemporary conveniences? Look no further than 39 Remsen Street #2C, a 2-bedroom home in the heart of Brooklyn Heights.
The front door leads directly into a small but mighty foyer space covered in tastefully maximalist wallpaper. Refined wood moldings and an artful lighting fixture complement the walls, and there’s space enough for a shoe rack, coat hanger, or even a full-sized armoire as shown in the listing photos.
From there you’ll find yourself gliding along original hardwood floors into the main living area. Both recessed lighting and oversized southwestern exposures illuminate the generous floorplan, which allows for multiple distinct seating nooks. Impressive 11-foot ceilings soar overhead, emphasizing just how gigantic this room is.
A striking archway leads to a long corridor with a deep closet. More hardwood gleams underfoot and there’s even a distinct wall niche located at the end of the hallway, perfect for displaying your favorite ceramics, artwork, or tchotchkes. Neat!

The kitchen and its attached dining area underwent extensive renovations in 2024, including custom cabinetry awash in soothing green paint and spotless quartz countertops to make meal prep a breeze. The dining room is anchored by additional cabinets — home bar, anyone?! — and more than big enough to entertain a group of your family and friends.
Both of the home’s bedrooms are windowed and come with storage galore. The primary boasts pretty period details such as crown molding, wooden window trimmings, and even an elaborate fireplace mantle from the 1800’s. Right now the fireplace is purely decorative, but could be easily restored to its original working condition if you’re looking for a little extra coziness during the chilly NYC winter.
The home’s one bathroom is a modern marvel, with subway tiling, an extra wide marble vanity, and a Toto heated toilet for the utmost luxury.
Located on a tree-lined street just half a block from the Brooklyn Promenade, this glorious Brooklyn Heights 2-bedroom is your ticket to blissful Brooklyn living. Plus, it’s cat friendly!
