61 Pierrepont St APT 24, Brooklyn, NY, 11201

About This Home

The opportunity you’ve been waiting for—available for the first time in 50 years. Residence 24 is a ~1,300 SF two-bedroom, one-bath home in a premier Brooklyn Heights co-op at 61 Pierrepont Street. This flexible layout offers the potential to create a three-bedroom, two-bath residence, as many shareholders in the “4” line have done, or to retain a graciously proportioned two-bedroom. The apartment’s proportions are exceptional, featuring 9’3” ceilings, original moldings, and hardwood floors in excellent condition. The co-op permits vented washer/dryers, vented kitchen hoods, the addition of a second bathroom, and, in certain cases, central air conditioning—all with board approval. This intimate 40-unit cooperative is meticulously maintained. Recent capital improvements include new elevator cabs, Local Law 11 compliance work, extensive hallway renovations, and restoration of the building’s original 1924 stained-glass windows. Plans for a beautifully designed roof deck are currently under review with the DOB, with anticipated completion in the near future. The building is financially stable, with low maintenance, no current assessments, a live-in superintendent, and a strong sense of community. Perfectly positioned on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, between Hicks and Henry Streets, the building is just two blocks from the Promenade and one block from Montague Street’s shops and dining. Convenient access to major subway lines including the R, 2/3, A/C/E, and 4/5. Subletting permitted for 2 out of every 5 years after two years of ownership. Buyer pays a 1% transfer tax. Pied-à-terre use, co-purchasing, parental purchasing, and gifting are allowed. Pet-friendly.
