Condos of the Day: 24 Remsen Street
They didn’t cut any corners on this one. After a lengthy renovation, the brick-and-limestone mansion at 24 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights has re-emerged as a four-unit condominium that, from the looks of it, aimed to preserve as much architectural detail while giving the 1896 residence a lighter, slightly more modern feel.

They didn’t cut any corners on this one. After a lengthy renovation, the brick-and-limestone mansion at 24 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights has re-emerged as a four-unit condominium that, from the looks of it, aimed to preserve as much architectural detail while giving the 1896 residence a lighter, slightly more modern feel. It looks very well done to us. Another sweetener: The building is also a stone’s throw from the promenade. Quality has a price though: All four units are priced well north of $1,000 a foot. The third-floor floor-through, for example, clocks in at 1,441 square feet and has a maintenance of $1,103 and an asking price of $1,745,000. The development’s web site is here and there’s an open house by appointment on Sunday.

Yes rob, that condo has been featured here on brownstoner in the past. The problem with that discussion was that it veered way off topic to talk about cattyshack, a lesbian bar. Can you imagine? Why do some of these threads every now and then veer so far off topic???
another funny cattyshack story… most of the summer i was going there on sunday afternoons to their picnic thingie. basically a HUUUUUUUUGE smorgasboard of food people brought in and i kept helping myself to a big plate then going up to the roofdeck to eat and mingle and try to make new neighborhood friends. anyway, it only lasted a few times cuz this one girl came up to me and goes “that food’s not free you know. ive been watching you for a few weeks now just take food” i didnt know you had to pay like 10 or 15 bux or something to get a plate and partake in all the food! (i did buy beer however i wasnt a total scrub). they were nice about it, but i cannot seem to enter that place without completely embarrassing myself one way or another.

as a matter of fact cattyshack DOES have a doorwo(man). she’s pretty hardcore, but nice. and yeah that’s the place i was tricked into trying to win the 100 dollar prize for gogo dancing on their pole and broke it! it’s right next door to the skinny Finger beige Condo with the two parking spots underneath on 4th avenue.

I lost something at Cattyshack once.
My dignity…
Love that place.
Doorwoman Biff. Don’t mess with her.
sorry….cattyshack. Only been there once.
I never actually saw a pole there. Although there was this heavyset girl with a plaid shirt and cigs rolled up in her sleeve named Zytka.
I think that was after the pole dancing DIBS.
Does Caddyshack have a doorman? (Just trying to merge the discussion)
rob…i thought you got the crap beat out of you in Caddyshack!!!
This condo is not near Cadddyshack. Feeble attempt to steer us back on topic as the end of the day approaches.
