Why It’s So Popular
New York City is full of homes that are equal parts historically preserved and updated for modern living. But rarely is it done as skillfully as it is in 145 Hicks Street #A12.
Located in the Brooklyn Heights Mansion House — which was built in 1935 — this magnificent pet-friendly co-op spans an impressive 835 square feet. The front door places you directly into a generous foyer with two big closets.
The foyer leads to a dedicated dining room, which could easily fit a 6- to 8-person table. Gleaming tiled flooring creates a uniquely vintage feel, while an artistic lighting fixture illuminates the pristine crown molding that borders the room. It’s the ultimate gathering spot for friends and family, especially considering its proximity to the unit’s renovated kitchen.
Inclusive of a dishwasher and home-chef-worthy range, the L-shaped room maximizes space without compromising aesthetics. Abundant cupboards with handsome glass doors allow for both storage and decor possibilities. And there’s plenty of natural sunlight to read recipes under thanks to a sweet window above the sink.

A massive arched doorway leads to the apartment’s sunken living room, which harkens back to the 70’s. The oversized room boasts a flexible floor plan that allows for multiple comfortable seating configurations. Two built-in shelves have been erected in the corner of the room so you can create a cozy reading space or display your special tchotchkes. The space also benefits from double exposures, which throw light across the perfectly-maintained wood flooring.
More gleaming hardwood flooring awaits you in the apartment’s one bedroom, which is almost as large as the living room. A wall of custom cabinets is inclusive of a Murphy bed, a brilliant design that allows for lots of additional furniture.
A spa-like bathroom is the cherry on top of this remarkable real estate sundae. A deep soaking tub is set within luxurious marbling, while a chic console sink adds a cool, contemporary touch. There’s no bad mood or hard day that wouldn’t be cured by spending some time in this serene retreat!
History lovers will especially love that 145 Hicks Street #A12 is located on a street that has been protected by the city’s Landmarks Preservation Law. Grab a coffee from one of the numerous nearby cafes and spend your days admiring the immaculate 19th century architecture around the neighborhood.
