A rare opportunity to own a piece of history in Brooklyn’s most desirable community. This boutique condominium features four individual units fashioned for modern living and adorned with 19th century architectural flourishes.
24 Remsen Street is a grand Renaissance Revival townhouse, built in the 1890's. Although the architect's records have been lost, the details of the house are reminiscent of famed Brooklyn architect Montrose Morris.
The thoughtful use of light-colored building materials such as limestone, light-toned brick and marble helped classify the neighborhood as one that was not only architecturally extraordinary, but socially prominent, establishing architecture’s role in society.
The house was built for wealthy stockbroker James Oliphant, who was a lifelong Brooklyn resident. The Oliphants were active in Brooklyn's busy social life. They appeared often in the society pages for attending and organizing social and charitable events.
The most arresting feature is a delicate third floor oriel supported by a carved corbel with foliate trim at its base. This house is the only house, mid-block on Remsen Street, to be semidetached, with a side service entrance, and multi-story side bay.
Exceptional finishes, high end appliances, and views of Manhattan and the harbor are just a few of the amenities that 24 Remsen has to offer; located just steps away from the Promenade on a tree-lined street in the landmarked district of Brooklyn Heights.
The complete renovation of this beautiful renaissance revival townhouse had no expenses spared. The floor plans place a premium on stylish functionality, perfectly situated for you to create your own personal space or to open your home for entertaining.
Top of the line appliances, fully vented ranges, granite countertops, and thoughtful storage create true chef’s kitchens. Open concepts create inviting spaces to share with family and friends.

An incredibly rare side alley provides the Master Suite in each unit with an abundance of light and air from two exposures. En-suite bath and walk-in closets, in addition to large floor plans, provide a private space for living, not just sleeping.
The En-Suite dual-vanity four-piece Master Bath offers enough room for the whole family to get ready together, or the personal space for a truly serene, private spa experience.
