Don’t miss this rare offering on an idyllic, tree-lined cobblestone street in coveted Brooklyn Heights. The circa 1900 gem, measuring 21’ wide by 44’ long, sits on a 70’ lot and offers a private tranquil backyard for outdoor pleasure. Classic elegance abounds throughout the townhouse, featuring hardwood floors, moldings, columns and millwork, airy ceilings with medallions, original fireplace mantles, exposed brick, wood staircases and plentiful light from oversized windows. Currently configured as a duplex on the parlor and garden levels with two floor-thru units on the 3rd and 4th floors, the possibilities are many for the new owner – leave as is or renovate as you please; live in the duplex and enjoy two rental incomes or convert to a single-family dream home. The home will be delivered vacant. The duplex is accessible from the inviting front stoop leading to the parlor or a separate entrance beneath accessing the garden level. The gracious double parlor, with original pocket doors, can remain open for living-dining, or closed for more privacy. In the rear is a well-equipped eat-in kitchen with a staircase leading to the garden. A full bathroom and extra storage add to the living space. Original marble fireplace mantles and classic details abound. On the garden level, the primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and there are two additional bedrooms, one with direct access to the patio and another full bathroom. There is a renovated space in the cellar and many upgrades in this duplex, including its own central air conditioning system. Both apartments on the third and fourth floors are spacious and sunny with living and dining areas, dens and a kitchen, bedroom and full baths. There are mantles, exposed brick and hardwood floors with views of the historic block below. Topping the allure of 56 Joralemon is its exceptional location between Hicks Street and Willow Place. This prime address, on a pedestrian-only street, is a block and a half from the famed Brooklyn Bridge Park stretching along the waterfront known for its breathtaking sunsets and city vistas, recreational facilities and special events. Also minutes away is the Promenade and lots of great shops along Atlantic Avenue, Montague and Court Streets. Enjoy conveniently located restaurants like the River Deli, Clover Hill and Colonie. It's a short trip to Manhattan from the N, R, W, 4, 5 trains located nearby. We look forward to welcoming you to view this exceptional property.

Get to Know Brooklyn Heights

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.
