This historic townhouse commands sweeping views across the East River to the Manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and beyond. There is an ever-changing backdrop of passing ships, sparkling city lights, dramatic skies, and seemingly endless sunsets. Owned by the same family since 1962, 144 Columbia Heights is a lovingly maintained estate sale which offers the opportunity to reimagine this exceptional property. Delivered vacant, this legal five-family townhouse includes 8,249 square feet of interior space. The current configuration includes an owner's lower triplex, two floor through apartments, and two junior one-bedroom apartments. Whether reimagined as a magnificent single-family residence, a multi-family home, or a development/investment property, 144 Columbia Heights offers extraordinary potential and you will want to bring your architect. The owner's triplex includes the parlor, garden and basement levels and was thoughtfully designed by renowned architect Charles Forberg. The triplex has an appealing blend of original details combined with mid-century modern design. The rooms throughout are generously proportioned and filled with natural light. The parlor floor features soaring 12-foot-10-inch ceilings, an oversized original pier mirror, and dramatic 10-foot-tall windows, each retaining its original shutters. The expansive living room enjoys beautiful views of the harbor, Manhattan skyline, and garden. Just off the Living Room is a distinctive New Orleans-style terrace with elegant wrought-iron railings and exceptional waterfront views. Also on the parlor level is a primary bedroom with a full bath and original decorative fireplace which overlooks the tree-lined Columbia Heights. The Garden level is one of the hearts of the home and offers an inviting collection of spaces for everyday living, including a dining room, kitchen, laundry, full bath, two bedrooms, and an office. Bathed in western light, the dining room features an original decorative fireplace and a charming Dutch door which opens directly onto a brick patio & garden. The patio leads down to the sun-filled garden, ideal for relaxing or entertaining in style. The Basement level is distinguished by three graceful arches, natural stone, and 7'9" ceilings. An oversized recreation room with terra-cotta tile floors and direct backyard access offers flexibility as a home gym, office, family or media room. Multiple storage areas and the mechanicals are also located on this level. The upper floors of the home are sun-filled rental apartments. The floor-through apartments have been renovated and feature generous ceiling heights, laundry, and spectacular views of the East River and Manhattan. The top-floor apartments are junior one-bedrooms with skylights, large windows, and amazing views. 144 Columbia Heights is located on a quiet, picturesque, tree-lined street lined with handsome 19th-century townhouses, adjacent to the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Brooklyn Bridge Park is just steps away, and DUMBO is a short stroll down the hill. Beloved neighborhood restaurants and specialty food stores-including Inga's Bar, L'Appartement 4F, Henry's End, Noodle Pudding, and Vineapple-are all within easy walking distance. Manhattan is easily accessible via the Brooklyn Bridge, with convenient transportation options provided by the 2, 3, A, C, 4, 5, and R subway lines, as well as the NYC Ferry. 144 Columbia Heights is an extraordinarily rare offering. With its gracious proportions, private garden & terrace, and spectacular views, it offers a unique opportunity to experience waterfront living at its best.
