On a postcard-worthy brownstone-lined Brooklyn Heights street, this two-bedroom parlor-floor co-op at 283 Hicks Street, asking $1,990,000, embodies townhouse living in a manageable size. Beneath ceilings of nearly 12 feet, the apartment’s 19th-century details like crown moldings, exposed brick, and a wood-burning fireplace frame a renovated, elegant interior that needs no updates or additions.
The light-filled living room offers views of the neighborhood’s historic homes through tall townhouse windows. Central heat and A/C and an in-unit washer/dryer balance the charm of a wood-burning fireplace and custom shutters.
An open kitchen features cheerful Tiffany-blue cabinetry, soapstone worktops, and stylish industrial-era lighting. Capable appliances include a Viking range and a wine fridge. The spacious dining area takes advantage of the room’s gracefully curved windows.
The home has two garden-facing bedrooms. A large primary suite includes a renovated bath with a step-in shower. The second bedroom, currently used as an office, features a massive walk-in closet.
Set within a 25-foot wide Federal-style townhouse, the pet-friendly co-op offers extra storage space and bike storage. Pieds-à-terre and subletting are also allowed.
