Property Description
Grand Waterfront Townhouse on Columbia Heights
New to market for the first time in decades, 144 Columbia Heights is a grand 25-foot-wide townhouse located waterside on one of Brooklyn Heights most coveted streets. This exceptional home enjoys sweeping views across the East River to Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge and beyond. There is an ever-changing & spectacular backdrop of passing ships, sparkling city lights, dramatic skies, and seemingly endless sunsets.
Owned by the same family since 1962, 144 Columbia Heights is an estate sale and ready for its next chapter. The property will be delivered vacant. This legal 5-family was built in 1856 and has over 8200 square feet of interior space. The current configuration includes an owners triplex, two floor through apartments and two junior one bedrooms on the top floor.
The owner's triplex includes the parlor, garden and basement levels and was thoughtfully designed by renowned architect Charles Forberg in 1962. The triplex has an appealing blend of original details combined with mid-century modern. The rooms throughout are generously proportioned and filled with natural light.
The Parlor level features soaring 12'10" ceilings, an original oversized pier mirror, and dramatic 10-foot-tall windows, each with their original shutters. Just off the living room is a distinctive New Orleans-style terrace with elegant wrought-iron railings and exceptional waterfront views. The living room is expansive in size and there is also a primary bedroom with a full bath and original decorative fireplace which overlooks Columbia Heights.
The Garden level is one of the hearts of the home and offers an inviting collection of spaces for everyday living. Included are a dining room, kitchen, laundry, full bath, two bedrooms, and an office. Bathed in western light, the dining room features an original decorative fireplace and a charming Dutch door which opens directly onto a brick patio and backyard garden. The patio leads down to the garden which is private and ideal for entertaining or relaxing.
The Basement level is distinguished by three graceful arches, natural stone, and 7'9" ceilings. An oversized recreation room with terra-cotta tile floors and access to the backyard offers flexibility as a home gym, office, family or media room. Multiple storage areas and the mechanicals are also located on this level.
The upper floors of the home are sun-filled rental apartments. The floor-through apartments have been renovated and feature generous ceiling heights, laundry, and spectacular views of the East River and Manhattan. The top-floor apartments are junior one-bedrooms with skylights, large windows, and amazing views.
144 Columbia Heights is located on a quiet picturesque tree-lined street filled with handsome 19th-century townhouses. The Brooklyn Heights Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park are steps away and Dumbo is just down the hill. Beloved neighborhood restaurants-including Henry's End, Noodle Pudding, and Felice-are nearby, and Manhattan is a quick trip across the Brooklyn Bridge. Transportation is easy with the 2, 3, A, C, 4, 5, and R subway lines, as well as the NYC Ferry.
Rarely does a home like 144 Columbia Heights come to market. With its gracious proportions, private garden & terrace, and spectacular views, it offers a unique opportunity to experience waterfront living at its best. Shown by appointment.
