205 Hicks Street   Unit 4B

Welcome to this jewel of a home in Brooklyn Heights at the charming corner of Hicks Street and Montague Street. Upon entering the apartment, you will notice the Pre-War character in all of the different rooms, whether it is the 9’3” ceiling height (approx.), the fabulous wall moldings, the large windows, or the fabulous refinished war wood floors.
There is a formal foyer with a coat closet. From there, you will find the living, dining rooms and kitchen; all rooms have huge new windows facing the beautiful tree lined Hicks street.
The spacious and well-proportioned living room can accommodate a comfortable sitting area, a piano and a home-office. Beyond that, the dining room can easily fit a large dining room table and accompanying chairs. The neighboring kitchen has substantial storage space as well as room for a separate washer/dryer. The original kitchen tiling, backsplash and old world appliances add a sense of timelessness to the space. You may choose to re-do it or transform it.
The spacious corner bedroom offers lovely south and western views from newly installed windows. The neighborhood Italian favorite “Felice” is a stone’s throw away visible on Montague Street. Next to the bedroom, you will find a windowed bathroom.
A new central air conditioning system has already been purchased and paid for and will be installed in the apartment. Therefore, the window units and radiators can be removed by the new owner. The solid wood floors tiles were refinished and the apartment has been freshly painted. There is an opportunity to re-do the bathroom and kitchen to add your personal touch to this distinguished space.
