Historic Townhouse in Brooklyn Heights Features Five Levels, Red Brick Charm, Modern Amenities
The landmarked brick townhouse has a sauna, elevator, safe room and superior structural stability thanks to its reinforced concrete superstructure.
50 Hicks Street, a one-family red-brick townhouse in Brooklyn Heights, is part of the area’s history with its historic storefront and oversize windows but inside it’s all about modern amenities.
The 5,700-square-foot space has five levels, an elevator, and an accessible entrance. The living space on the first floor has optimal flow, a working fireplace, foyer with coat closet, dining area with banquette and open kitchen overlooking the backyard.
The kitchen features a Viking Tuscany Range, Sub-Zero fridge, and Italian-made Scavolini cabinetry that lines the walls above marble countertops. There is also a powder room on this floor.
The master suite, on the third floor, has a double sided closet/dressing room and walk-in closet. For additional security, the master suite has been upgraded into a safe room with ballistically raided walls and a blast/ballistic resistant bedroom entry door.
The en suite bathroom features Waterworks fixtures, a custom vanity, oversized shower, imported Italian marble slabs throughout, a freestanding tub and Toto Neorest 700H toilet. There’s also a cedar-wood-lined, glass partitioned, separate sauna room that’s accessible from the shower. LED lighting and music integration makes it feel like you’re in a spa.
Amenities include a roof deck, barbecue area and media room.
The developer, Rybak Development, went beyond the standard gut renovation and built a reinforced concrete superstructure inside the landmarked building’s historic brick exterior. The home has advanced structural stability and sound deadening qualities.
Brooklyn Heights, New York City’s first historic district, offers old-world architecture and acres of recreation with Brooklyn Bridge Park’s waterfront outdoor space. Of course, nightlife, dining and shopping are in abundance, as is proximity to major thoroughfares, subway lines and ferries.
The ask is $10,825,000. The listing agents are Andrew Appell and David Fernandez at Compass.
