It’s not rare to find townhouses or apartments in Brooklyn with old-world details like exposed brick and ceiling beams, but we can’t remember the last time we found such a home that’s quite this cozy. Located at 80 Poplar Street in Brooklyn Heights, the duplex has three fireplaces–one wood-burning, one gas, and one decorative–two bathrooms, and a private terrace. It’s asking $1,750,000.
The entrance is right off the kitchen, which has a subtle mid-century modern feel to it. Throughout the home are old extra-wide pine plank floors, original ceiling beams, and patinaed red brick walls.
Adjacent is the dining area, which sits next to a brick-lined gas fireplace and a storage wall/reading nook. It opens to the common courtyard with a barbecue area, which is shared by this building and the one behind it.
Around the corner from the dining room is a full bathroom. And at the other end of this level is the first bedroom, which has an original fireplace mantle.
Upstairs, the street-facing living room gets lots of natural light. It has a wood-burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bookcases.
A small bedroom is off the living area.
The entire rear of the second floor is devoted to the primary bedroom suite, which has a whole wall of closets. An old brick partition now houses a double vanity and storage and separates the bathroom that has a soaking tub and a toilet closet. There’s also a closet with a stacked washer/dryer. A door off the bathroom opens to a 95-square-foot terrace.
The pair of co-op buildings were built in the 1830s and house a total of six units. It’s just a few blocks from the A and C trains at High Street-Brooklyn Bridge and a quick walk to Brooklyn Bridge Park.
