A co-op with a sinuous curved brick facade in the historic district

Situated on Henry Street, this charming co-op finds itself in the highly sought-after residential enclave of Brooklyn Heights. Completed in 1955, 245 Henry Street features a uniform red-brick cladding punctuated by white-framed casement windows. On the corner of Joralemon Street, the facade features a sculptural rounded corner achieved by quarter-cut bricks placed on an arced radius. In turn, this spatial formation takes shape in the apartments: in the living rooms of units in this corner; and others, due to this irregularity, have non-rectangular layouts with trapezoidal rooms. (About a third of the residences, however, have perfect, rectilinear floorplans.) Considering the locale, the cooperative offers accessibly priced units with lower-than-average maintenance fees and charming midcentury architectural detailing.

Roomy layouts with ample storage

Fifty-six residences across seven stories range from studios to two-bedrooms. Units don’t come on the market often; typically, just one or two a year. Averaging 400 square feet, studio square footage is efficient: each unit has three closets or one colossal walk-in closet, and either extended galley-style kitchen or an open kitchen in a long foyer that doubles as a dining room. Apartment #6I, a top-floor corner studio with most of the original features, sold for $450,000 in the third quarter of 2024. Ranging 600 and 740 square feet, one-bedrooms lead into an open foyer adjacent to a petite kitchen; some apartments have a split floorplan, while others have a long entry corridor that functions as a dining alcove leading to the living area and bedroom. Apartment #5A, a one-bedroom with a renovated kitchen and bathroom, sold for $729,000 in the first quarter of 2023. Spanning between 800 and 900 square feet, two-bedrooms have a formal dining room and a large living room. Apartment #1C, a ground-floor two-bedroom with a split layout and an office alcove, sold for $900,000 in the third quarter of 2022. Despite the size, all homes have one bathroom. Also, a few of the ground-floor flats facing the back of the building have private garden areas that are spacious enough to fit a sofa, dining table, a lounge chair or two and a grill. (Funny enough, most of these are studios and one-bedrooms.)

Basic amenities include a parking garage

The elevator building has a part-time service, including a door attendant and maintenance staff; there is also a full-time live-in superintendent. While the co-op doesn’t offer stacked amenities new high-rise condos in the area typically have, it does have the essentials that make everyday life easier. Residents can find the recently renovated laundry facilities and storage lockers on the lower level. The same subterranean floor is home to the parking garage, which offers competitive monthly rates (and is currently waitlisted). Meanwhile, the co-op board is cat- and dog-friendly.

Local haunts in the heart of Brooklyn Heights include the cocktail bar Elsa

The building is located on a primarily residential side street known for its local restaurants and bars, including Henry’s End, L'Appartement 4F and Poppy’s. To the west, residents can access all the green space at Brooklyn Bridge Park and prime views of the lower Manhattan skyline. Being adjacent to downtown Brooklyn, there are many cultural institutions and shopping destinations, including BAM Harvey Theater, Atlantic Terminal Mall and Barclays Center. The area also offers Michelin-starred dining, buzzy bars and some of the trendiest hotels in the borough, including Ace Hotel Brooklyn, The Tillary Hotel Brooklyn and 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. Residents can shop at local grocery markets, including Foodtown, Key Food and Trader Joe’s.

11 subway lines within a half-mile radius of the building

The co-op is conveniently located near Downtown Brooklyn, within two to three blocks of five subway stations: Hoyt St station with lines 2 and 3; Hoyt-Schermerhorn St with lines A, C and G; Jay St-MetroTech with lines A, C, F and R lines; DeKalb Av with lines B, Q and R; and Nevins St with lines 2, 3, 4 and 5. Entrances to the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges are just minutes away via the Brooklyn Queens Expressway for those traveling by car.
