A minimalist dwelling comparable to a luxury hotel space on a beautiful Brooklyn Heights block. Residence 10J at 70 Remsen Street is a light-filled, east-facing space in a landmarked Romanesque-style building. The home opens into a proper entryway with a sizable foyer closet, leading into the open living space, where oversized windows provide open views of the Brooklyn skyline. The living space features brand new hardwood floors, complemented by abundant natural light. A wall of built-ins includes a custom Murphy Bed, and generous cabinet space; combined with an additional walk-in closet, there is ample storage throughout the home. A separate, windowed kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher and full-sized refrigerator. The renovated, windowed bathroom is appointed at the opposite end of the space. The Remsen is a 1928 pre-war co-op building offering a 24-hour doorman, an ornate lobby, laundry room, bike room, package room and a full-time live-in superintendent. Note: there is a 1% flip tax imposed in the building and payable by the purchaser.
Brooklyn Heights, located between Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Bridge Park, is a historic and residential New York neighborhood with brownstone-lined blocks and a waterfront promenade. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Montague Street near Clinton Street, where independent bookstores, cafes, and small boutiques set a polished, unhurried pace. The Brooklyn Heights Promenade frames postcard views of the Manhattan skyline and the harbor. Landmark rowhouses and prewar co-ops define the streetscape, with quiet garden squares tucked behind stoops. Community pillars include the Brooklyn Historical Society (Center for Brooklyn History), St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, and the New York Transit Museum nearby in Boerum Hill.

R6 zoning districts are widely mapped in built-up, medium-density areas in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. The character of R6 districts can range from neighborhoods with a diverse mix of building types and heights to large-scale tower in the park developments such as Ravenswood in Queens and Homecrest in Brooklyn. Developers can choose between two sets of bulk regulations. Standard height factor regulations, introduced in 1961, produce small multi-family buildings on small zoning lots and, on larger lots, tall buildings that are set back from the street. Optional Quality Housing regulations produce high lot coverage buildings within height limits that often reflect the scale of older, pre-1961 apartment buildings in the neighborhood.
