Cozy Brooklyn Heights co-op has pre-war charm and a bright, sunny kitchen for $1.5M

In a classic pre-war building at 161 Henry Street in historic Brooklyn Heights, just a few blocks from the Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, this two-bedroom co-op has a bright disposition, and not just in the sun-washed south-facing kitchen. Asking $1,500,000, the cozy 1,000-square-foot apartment has 10-foot ceilings, two full bathrooms, a washer/dryer, and treetop views from three exposures.

In the entry hall, you’ll find an alcove with a washer/dryer and a storage closet. Throughout the home, well-preserved hardwood floors and wood-framed windows add warmth.

Around the corner is a spacious living and dining room. The windowed south-facing eat-in kitchen looks out over tree-lined Pierrepont Street. Pale blue accents add a subtle hint of vintage charm.

Down another hallway are two bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a wall-spanning closet and an ensuite bath. The second bedroom also gets a full bath, which is accessible to the main living space as well. Both bathrooms have the kind of vintage details and timeless charm that sets classic pre-war co-ops like this one apart.

The 1904 Beaux Arts building is a perfect example of the neighborhood’s historic elegance. The pet-friendly co-op offers an elevator, a live-in super, extra storage, bike storage and a laundry room.
