An Updated 1845 Brooklyn Home Hits the Market at $2.95M
Serving as one of four units within a brownstone co-op, this thoughtfully remodeled home is located in the quaint, desirable neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. A rare find in the city, the property has the voluminous atmosphere of an industrial-style open loft, as well as the privacy of a freestanding home with a private, street-side entrance.
The home located at 56 Willow Street is a pet-friendly property, and has additional storage in the basement, as well as a part-time superintendent that looks after the co-op building.
A closer look at the main living space. Upstairs is a 600-square-foot wraparound mezzanine.
The brick on the wood-burning fireplace has been left exposed and offers a striking contrast to the surrounding white walls.
Polished concrete, brilliant white architectural baseboards, stainless-steel sheathed doorways, and gray-stained oak flooring come together to create an impressive, and richly detailed home.
A closer look at the warm and welcoming entrance foyer.
To one side of the foyer is the main living area, which sits under the section of the house where the ceilings are the tallest.
Within the home, the ceiling heights range from 11 to 21 feet.
The main living space, also known as the great room, includes separate living and dining areas, along with a wood-burning brick fireplace that rises all the way to the top of the 21-foot, cathedral-height ceiling.
The kitchen features cheerful, sea-green cabinetry.
Through the dining area is a doorway that leads into a spacious kitchen. This room features a farmhouse sink; custom shaker-style, sea-green cabinetry; a wainscot backsplash; a massive pantry; honed black-marble countertops; a breakfast bar; as well as multiple stylish appliances.
