Living History in Beautiful Brooklyn Heights 290 Hicks Street is a classic townhouse on a charming, landmark block. Upon entering through the stately front door, the Parlor level features multiple seating areas. The space is versatile and easily arranged for entertaining, learning the piano, or relaxing by the fire. Currently, it is setup with an august library in the front, and a formal living room with a wood burning fireplace overlooking the bucolic garden. Downstairs on the Garden level, a massive eat-in-kitchen flows to the formal dining area making it a breeze to host dinner parties or luncheons. The kitchen looks out onto the patio with a grill and a backyard full of flowers. The back of the garden is framed with an ivy-laced wall, providing privacy. Upstairs on the second floor, the primary suite enjoys a large rear-facing bedroom, spacious walk-through closet, and primary bathroom outfitted with double vanity and a sliding glass door shower. A second bedroom on the floor gazes out over the tree-lined street. On the third floor are three more bedrooms and a windowed bathroom with a double sink and tub. The large open space in the center of the floor is illuminated by two skylights and can be used as a playroom, office or gym. There is also laundry and additional storage on this floor. The house has a large basement that can be built-out or used in its current form as storage. The lot runs East to West for beautiful morning and evening light.

This is a truly special house. Become the next steward to this part of Brooklyn Heights history.

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.
