127 Hicks Street is a grand (over 6000 sq. ft) and gorgeous 25' wide brownstone, dating from the 1840's with five stories of living space and a full, dry, functional cellar. With great bones, an ideal location, and beautifully maintained, the home retains all of its best details. The current owner conducted an extensive facade and cornice restoration in 2022.
Currently configured as a four unit building with owner's 3 bedroom, 2 bath garden/parlor duplex and 3 spacious and beautifully renovated 2 bedroom, 1 bath rental units (one with large terrace). With the building's gracious 25' width you have the benefit of larger rooms, better flow and terrific light throughout.
The dramatic 60 foot deep parlor floor is graced with 12 foot ceilings with intricate moldings as well as a ceiling archway that visually separates the living and the dining room. There are two fireplaces with marble mantles, the living room fireplace is gas-burning. At the rear of this floor is the renovated kitchen with butler's pantry adjacent to a multi-purpose room, perfect for either a breakfast area, den or office. A small balcony off this room leads down to the beautifully landscaped deep garden.
The lower level of the duplex has a large primary bedroom with a gas fireplace, an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. There are two additional bedrooms looking onto the back garden as well as a second full bath and a spacious central den/hang out area separating the primary from the other bedrooms.
Conveniently located in central Brooklyn Heights just a short distance from restaurants, shopping, transportation hub as well as the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and the incredible Brooklyn Bridge Park, this wonderful townhouse lends itself to the owner interested in a perfect home with income or reconfiguration into a dramatic Brooklyn Heights mansion. The possibilities are endless.
A waterside, northern Brooklyn neighborhood, Brooklyn Heights is a beautiful and historic area bordered by DUMBO, Cobble Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, and the East River. Considered New York’s first “suburb,” the area derives its name from its naturally elevated position. Hallmarks of this Brownstone Brooklyn neighborhood are quiet, tree-lined streets and grand, historic homes. A pedestrian walkway along the East River, The Brooklyn Promenade, draws locals and tourists alike for its breathtaking views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Downtown Manhattan, and the water. A relatively new addition to the neighborhood, the riverside Brooklyn Bridge Park is a world-class green space offering recreation and respite year round.
