Welcome to Residence 2B at 205 Hicks Street — a beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated 2-bed, 1-bath home nestled in the heart of iconic Brooklyn Heights. This residence perfectly balances pre-war elegance with modern upgrades, offering a serene urban retreat in one of New York’s most coveted neighborhoods. Step into the bright open living space, where oversized, noise-cancelling City Windows frame charming neighborhood views and bathe the interior in natural light. The recent removal of traditional radiators has not only introduced central air and heating, but also created a more expansive layout — opening up valuable floor space and creating the potential for additional storage, a reading nook, or a cozy sitting area beneath the large living-room window. Throughout the home, original parquet floors have been newly refinished, and classic wall moldings maintain the apartment’s timeless character. Carefully curated updates include modern ceiling fans, designer light fixtures, and a fully renovated kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen offers a clean, contemporary aesthetic with updated appliances, while the bathroom is a stylish blend of vintage and modern, featuring sleek finishes and the original soaking tub — a charming nod to the building’s storied past. Tucked away on a tree-lined street just steps from the Promenade, local cafes such as L'Apartment 4F and Della Rocco's, and major transit (2,3,4,5, A and C), this home offers the best of Brooklyn Heights living: character, comfort, and convenience. Some photos have been virtually staged.

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.
