Broker & Buyer Comments

This "grand dame" of Brooklyn Heights sports "stunning" 10-14 foot ceilings and an "ornate lobby" that hints at its past life as a college before its 1981 conversion. "Perfectly positioned" between Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn, this doorman building offers a "common roof deck" and "multiple elevators" for convenience. The "prime location" puts residents steps from Fulton Mall, Court Street, and "numerous subway lines," making it an "exceptionally well-connected" address.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
