This spacious co-op in Brooklyn Heights, just a block from the Promenade, is quite luxurious. Located at 62 Montague Street, a Romanesque Revival stunner and the first apartment building designed by architect Montrose Morris, it’s fitting that it comes with an equally hefty price tag and monthly maintenance.

While quite large, the apartment’s high ask perhaps only makes it appealing to a buyer with deep pockets and an aversion to living in a full home (or maybe they just love the neighborhood).

And despite the many historical reminders, the unit feels decidedly modern, and its more recent additions define the space. There’s a wood-burning fireplace, plaster door and window surrounds and tin ceilings that coexist with clean-lined, contemporary renovations.

That wood-burning fireplace is in the main living space, comprised of a living room, dining room and library. The latter, which has pocket doors, built-ins, window benches, two closets and its own full bath, could easily be put to use as a bedroom if necessary.

Off the main space is the kitchen, which is roomy and has an abundance of white cabinets and an extended corner counter which fits two stools. The appliances are new, according to the listing.

The master bedroom, which has another wood-burning fireplace, also boasts a very large en suite bath with tub, enclosed shower and two separate sinks.

There are three closets in the master and two more in the unit’s hallway, one of which is a walk-in, and another full bath. The smaller bedroom has one closet, some built-ins and is carpeted.

Corcoran’s Michael J. Franco, Miriam Richards and Greg Holzmann have the listing, which is asking $2.995 million, with a steep $3,102 in monthly fees. What do you think — is worth it, or would you rather buy a townhouse for that price?
