The building at 200 Hicks Street is one of the first co-ops in the state of New York. Attached to that building, and taking advantage of its neighbor’s amenities, 198 Hicks Street is a Brooklyn Heights townhome that functions as a private maisonette. With services including a 24-hour doorman, video security, a roof deck with views of the East River and Manhattan, and a lush garden with native plantings as part of the adjacent building, this address combines co-op living with the privacy of a free-standing house.

The home itself seems built for an era of big, bustling families, beginning with the slate-floored foyer, ready for rain boots and backpacks. The home’s living spaces welcome guests and family alike, with a large family room and an office built out with floor-to-ceiling cabinets, shelving, and a desk. A discreet room with sliding doors allow for privacy for TV watching, piano lessons or reading.

A spacious dining room benefits from a pass-through window from the kitchen, and can accommodate everything from family meals to large dinner parties. The newly updated chef’s kitchen features dual sinks, granite counters, and a breakfast bar.

A working fireplace warms a living room illuminated by windows that look onto the garden that decorates the building’s private entrance, while recently installed central air conditioning is controlled in each room individually for maximum comfort. The home also includes a basement for storage as well as a convenient utility room with laundry facilities and a sink.

Three bedrooms occupy their own section of the house, with a spacious master bedroom that features floor-to-ceiling built-in closets throughout and its own en suite bath. The shared bathroom has a double sink and separate bath and shower.

This Brooklyn Heights townhome resides on one of New York’s most refined blocks, a tree-lined stretch just minutes away from the famed Brooklyn Heights promenade and a lively playground. 198 Hicks Street is offered at $2.425 million; maintenance is $3,200 per month.
