Listing of the Day: Brooklyn Heights Historic Townhouse
Built in 1825, this stunning Brooklyn Heights townhouse boasts six bedrooms, two kitchens, three full bathrooms, an office, and a laundry room. Both the living and dining rooms on the parlor floor (the parlor floor!) have wood-burning fireplaces, and details such as the period moldings, the claw-foot bathtub in the master bathroom, and a restored mahogany staircase hark back to an earlier era.
The huge master bedroom has windows the width of the house with Manhattan-facing views. Guests or family members can enjoy their own private apartment on the garden level, complete with a separate kitchen, bathroom, and family room. With so many bedrooms to spare, one has been converted to a third-floor media room. The parlor floor deck overlooks a fully landscaped garden, with a terrace, pond, patio, and a cherry tree that blossoms in the spring.
The house is located in historic Brooklyn Heights, one block from the Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park. Nearby transportation options include the 2/3 and A/C subway lines, as well as the Water Taxi at Pier One. Click through for more pictures.

Listing of the Day: 141 Baltic Street
The Warren Place Mews is one of the loveliest blocks in Cobble Hill, with historic cottage homes built around a lush garden courtyard. It’s pretty rare to see a property on the market here, which is why the listing for 141 Baltic Street is exciting indeed. This isn’t one of the smaller cottages — it’s actually a larger brick townhouse that’s four stories tall with 1,600 square feet. The rear of the house provides access to the Mews. Ultimately it seems like you’re getting the best of both worlds: a spacious, historic townhouse alongside the quaint, private community of the Warren Place Mews.
The landmarked, brick home was constructed in 1878 but it’s going to need a modern upgrade. This is an estate sale, with potential buyers urged to bring their architects along. While you’d be working from scratch, it’s the ideal property for a buyer who envisions modern, top-of-the-line finishes within a historic Cobble Hill home. This has tons of potential to be a very special project indeed. The asking price comes in at $2,250,000, and the property is available to look at by appointment only.

Listing of the Day: 244 Hall Street
It doesn’t get any more quaint than this Clinton Hill carriage house, located right near Pratt at 244 Hall Street. The building, constructed in 1855, underwent a head-to-toe interior renovation back in 2009. The result is a well-designed single-family that still retains much of its historic charm. The renovation brought custom window treatments, Bosch appliances, central air and heating, and radiant heated floors in the kitchen, dining, living and bathrooms. There’s also a heated garage with a private entrance (that could also be used as a studio space), as well as a gorgeous two-tiered garden. Give us some sun and we’d be out on that terrace with the fire pit every day.
Overall you’ve got three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms over two floors. While 244 Hall is smaller than your typical townhouse, the design looks like it has completely maximized the space available. The asking price comes in at $2,315,000.

Listing of the Day: 690 East 18th Street
A freestanding home on a quarter acre of land in Brooklyn? It may sound unlikely, but that’s what’s up for sale at 690 East 18th Street in Ditmas Park.

As if that weren’t enough, the property comes with an adjoining 50-by-100-foot garden lot big enough to accommodate a pool or large garden.
Other features like the dark wood detailing, pocket doors, stained glass, front porch and the sitting room are pretty much icing on the cake. Overall, just a lovely property. The asking price comes in at $2,275,000.

Listing of the Day: 226 Pacific Street
