Located on a leafy street, less than a block away from the Brooklyn Promenade, in a gracious 25' wide brownstone, the expansive triple mint garden apartment would be the ideal pied-a-terre or full-time residence. With a nod to a discerning collector, the apartment features are like no other, with a full-sized high-end stainless-steel kitchen with top-notch European appliances, to a contemporary Murano chandelier over the dining alcove, a wood burning fireplace, with a ceramic tile surround by Eliel Saarinen and a cleverly hidden custom Murphy bed for guests. It is the perfect room for hosting family and friends for a pizza party or an elegant dinner. Beyond the entry foyer, a vintage weighted metal sliding door leads to the private portion of the apartment, with a large comfortable bathroom, a beautiful antique clawfoot bath for soaking, a hidden all-in-one washer/dryer, a sleeping alcove with a 19th century Italian brass chandelier, and an abundance of open storage. 40 Remsen Street is a 9-unit co-op with a perfectly preserved paneled entry foyer with William Morris wallpaper and fireplace. The building a dedicated storage unit in the basement for each apartment. Historic Brooklyn Heights is uniquely situated with the best views in New York, access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, a multitude of subway lines, ferry service and a variety of restaurants and shopping, minutes away from Manhattan. It is city living at its very finest. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 2 - **Sqft**: 698 sqft - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1900 - **Price per Sqft**: $987 - **Common Charges**: $1,537 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Apr 17, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 148 Days ### Residence Features - Building Other - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Building Roof Deck - Storage - Dishwasher - City ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 4 apartments at 40 REMSEN Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,250,000 in December 2025. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 7 (Apartment) | 1 | — | $1,250,000 | — | December 11, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 9 (Apartment) | 1 | 625 | $620,000 | $992/ft² | February 4, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 4 (Apartment) | 1 | 984 | $1,218,000 | $1,238/ft² | March 19, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 8 (Apartment) | 2 | 1,100 | $1,860,000 | $1,691/ft² | February 2, 2023 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op studio sales in Brooklyn Heights is $424,000, based on 36 sales between September 2024 and May 2026. This home is asking $689,000, $265,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $374,698 and $513,750. - **Median closed price**: $424,000 - **Middle half**: $374,698 – $513,750 - **Based on**: 36 co-op studio sales in Brooklyn Heights - **Period**: September 2024 – May 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 4 of these 36 sales (11%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 36 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.4% of what it originally asked. 61% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Brooklyn Heights instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.4% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 61% of 36 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 57 days (about 8 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 79 days (about 11 weeks) Across the 36 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.4% of what it originally asked. 61% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 57 days (about 8 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 36 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 79 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 36 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 36 co-op studio sales in Brooklyn Heights, September 2024 – May 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op studio sales in Brooklyn Heights, 2017 to 2025. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $476,900 | 14 | | 2018 | $410,000 | 11 | | 2019 | $400,000 | 13 | | 2020 | $405,000 | 12 | | 2021 | $431,341 | 18 | | 2022 | $399,000 | 17 | | 2023 | $455,000 | 22 | | 2024 | $430,000 | 20 | | 2025 | $427,800 | 18 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Brooklyn Heights instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
