108 Willow Street

108 Willow Street, a truly extraordinary offering in Brooklyn Heights, now available for the first time in over fifty years. This stunning townhouse, located on one of the neighborhood's most coveted blocks, presents an incredible opportunity to own a piece of New York City history.

Designed by renowned architect William Halsey Wood, known for his work on Yaddo in Saratoga Springs and the Carnegie Free Library, this home features original Queen Anne detailing and an unparalleled scale that sets it apart. With its striking trio of red brick facades, a slate-tile turret, and intricate shingle and terracotta accents, 108 Willow is a standout on the block. The home’s extra-deep footprint (18’ x 64’), soaring 11’ ceilings, and expansive 5,000+ square feet offer endless possibilities to reimagine this grand property into your custom-designed dream townhouse.

The dramatic parlor floor boasts front and rear parlor sitting rooms, as well as a 26-foot deep extension that can be transformed into an incredible eat-in kitchen (see alternate floor plan). A wide, mahogany staircase rises through the center of the house, framed by magnificent double-height art walls, and leads to a spectacular Tiffany stained-glass skylight overhead. The third and fourth floors are equally impressive, with five spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and a generous laundry room. An expansive fifth-floor attic offers additional space for bedrooms or entertaining, with the potential to create a roof terrace facing the skyline and offering stunning views of New York Harbor and lower Manhattan.

The home also features a two-bedroom garden apartment with a separate entrance, ideal for guests or as additional living space. The garden-facing bedroom opens to a charming west-facing garden and patio, creating a serene outdoor retreat. The cellar offers a multi-purpose room, a second laundry area, ample storage, and the home’s mechanicals.

With its historic charm, grand proportions, and incredible potential, 108 Willow Street is a rare opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind residence in one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods. The home is located just moments from Brooklyn Bridge Park, the area’s best shops and restaurants, and convenient access to the 2/3/4/5/A/C/R subway lines.

This is a truly exceptional property in an unrivaled location—a rare opportunity to have a piece of NYC history and transform this magnificent house into your dream home.
