Two studios were thoughtfully combined to create this gracious home, offering the flexibility of a guest room, nursery, or office. The primary bedroom offers a private en suite bathroom, while a second full bathroom is conveniently situated just off the living room. The kitchen is sunlit and sophisticated, outfitted with high-end stainless steel appliances, a classic white railroad-tile backsplash, and elegant marble countertops — a space that is as functional as it is refined. The living space is large enough to accommodate a dining room table and plenty of seating. Built in 1928, The Remsen is a well-managed, pet-friendly, 10-story cooperative offering a full-time doorman, on-call superintendent, newly updated hallways, central laundry room, and bicycle storage. The building allows pied-a-terre, gifting, parents purchasing for children, co-purchasing, and guarantors with board approval. Just steps from the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, the home is surrounded by the neighborhood's beloved shops, restaurants, and cafés such as Inga’s Bar, Vineapple, Henry’s End, L’Appartment 4F, Confidant, and so many more. The 2, 3, 4, 5, and R trains offer effortless access across the city. Please note: monthly assessment of $849.42 through October 2028 will be paid by the seller. Assessment to cover facade and portico upgrades, as well as upgrades to the E and F gas lines which are expected to be restored in 2027. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 5 - **Stories**: 10 - **Year Built**: 1928 - **Common Charges**: $2,831.83 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 8, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Wall Unit(s) - Central - Common On Floor - Common Area - Laundry Room - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft - Dishwasher - Hardwood ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 39 apartments at 70 Remsen Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $325,000 in August 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable two-bedroom sales at 70 Remsen Street is $1,270,000, based on 5 sales between September 2021 and June 2023. This home is asking $875,000, $395,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $970,000 and $1,597,000. - **Median closed price**: $1,270,000 - **Middle half**: $970,000 – $1,597,000 - **Based on**: 5 two-bedroom sales at 70 Remsen Street - **Period**: September 2021 – June 2023 Square footage is recorded for only 1 of these 5 sales (20%), 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. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Listed → in contract**: 32 days (about 5 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 99 days (about 14 weeks) Half of these homes were in contract within 32 days (about 5 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 4 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 99 days (about 14 weeks), based on the 4 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 5 two-bedroom sales at 70 Remsen Street, September 2021 – June 2023. 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 two-bedroom 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 | $1,215,000 | 22 | | 2018 | $1,089,080 | 18 | | 2019 | $1,220,000 | 17 | | 2020 | $1,275,000 | 19 | | 2021 | $1,217,500 | 36 | | 2022 | $1,120,000 | 23 | | 2023 | $1,040,000 | 19 | | 2024 | $1,295,000 | 14 | | 2025 | $1,400,000 | 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.
