281 Hicks St. #3A

Classic Brooklyn Heights Historic District apartment in a well maintained federal-style townhouse co-op. The unit is one flight up from the building’s charming pre-war foyer.

This is a 25-foot-wide apartment with two bedrooms and two full baths. The living areas still have their original, well preserved, 1900 charm with crown moldings, rosettes, picture rails, a wood-burning fireplace, tall windows, 10 foot ceilings, and hardwood floors (which have just been refinished).

The kitchen and baths were renovated in the 80s. The seller has decided to let the new owner update it to their own style, so it is priced accordingly.

There is a rare amount of closet space for a pre-war property. Four closets; coat, full linen, large master, and large second bedroom. Plus a storage unit in the basement (11’Wx6’Dx7’H).

The floorplan, with the living room/dining room/gallery areas surrounding the kitchen, offers a large and versatile entertaining layout. Newer features include, split A/C units, W/D in-unit, and a video entry system. The through-floor unit faces east over the backyard gardens and west with landmark carriage house views.

The building is pet friendly. The co-op’s finances are solid, as indicated by the low monthlies (which include taxes) and the monthlies only increasing $110 in 15 years. Pied-a-Terre allowed.

Two blocks west, you enter straight into Pier 5 and Brooklyn Bridge Park. A few blocks north-west is the Promenade. Restaurants and boutiques on Montague Street. Near multiple subway lines (2, 3, 4, 5, R).
