Built for a Dutch merchant around 1834, this meticulously renovated townhouse has been thoroughly updated while carefully preserving the artistry of the past.

The 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom triplex at 57 Middagh Street has exceptionally high parlor ceilings with highly ornate, original tin ceilings. Two wood burning fireplaces. Brand new chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, Thermador and Miele appliances. Triple, oversized windows give full views of the back deck and the well planted garden. Ample storage and a powder room round out this floor. The 2nd floor is the primary suite with two en suite baths, a dressing room, a sitting room with WBF, an open study with reading nook and spacious laundry room. The top floor yields more tin ceilings. Oversized windows draw your eyes up and out from the three bedrooms and two full baths. Steps from the back bedroom give access to a full width terrace with Brooklyn Bridge and Dumbo views. An internal home office anchors this floor. There is multi-zone HVAC for the whole unit and radiant heat in the bathrooms.

Close to Manhattan but quietly tucked away in the best-of-the-best Brooklyn Heights location. It's a short stroll to the Promenade, bistros, amenities and DUMBO. The A/C train stop is 1.5 blocks away making for quick travel to Manhattan or Fort Greene for work or play. There is a pathway and footbridge to Brooklyn Bridge Park and the new deep-water marina at the end of Middagh Street.
