About This Home
As of August 2021Looking for character in a CONDO LOFT in tree-lined Brooklyn Heights? Get ready to fall in love with white brick arches, high ceilings, and Brooklyn Bridge views!
This extra large 1 bedroom has not one but TWO LOFT SPACES which can be used as bonus space for sleeping, an office, or storage. Enter the apartment and you are immediately greeted by soaring ceilings and oversized windows, allowing for uninterrupted light and unadulterated views of the award-winning garden below. The generously proportioned living room features new hardwood floors and exposed, painted brick. With a designated dining area and seamless access to the kitchen, this space is flawlessly designed for easy entertaining. The open kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and countertop seating. Streamlined closets, adjacent to the kitchen, provide plentiful storage and house an in-unit washer/dryer.
Stairs lead up to the first large loft space, perfect as an additional sleeping area or home office. Downstairs, an original towering arch entryway leads you to the bright and spacious garden-facing bedroom with enormous walk-in closet and en suite bathroom. A set of stairs leads to the second loft space, currently set up as an additional bedroom.
Converted to a condo in the 1980s, 55 Poplar Street is a historic pre-war building with modern conveniences and low monthlies. The live-in superintendent and staff maintain the building full time. The picturesque backyard with private common garden, 2 large grills, and picnic tables is perfect for summer entertaining. There is a gated parking lot (separately deeded) as well as bike and storage rooms for rent (wait list). Pets allowed.
Brooklyn Heights has become arguably the premiere neighborhood in all of Brooklyn. With it's easy access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, multiple subway lines, restaurants lining Henry St and Montague, attractions of Dumbo, schools, and proximity to Manhattan, it is no wonder that the long term fundamentals of this neighborhood are so strong.
