Broker & Buyer Comments

This "grand dame" of Brooklyn Heights sports "stunning" 10-14 foot ceilings and an "ornate lobby" that hints at its past life as a college before its 1981 conversion. "Perfectly positioned" between Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn, this doorman building offers a "common roof deck" and "multiple elevators" for convenience. The "prime location" puts residents steps from Fulton Mall, Court Street, and "numerous subway lines," making it an "exceptionally well-connected" address.
