Unit 21 at 81 Columbia Heights is that rare 2 bed, 1 bath coop that has been lovingly renovated from top-to-bottom with a timeless interior design and an iconic view that knows no equal. Situated on the northwest corner of the building, with views of lower Manhattan, Brooklyn Bridge Park, the East River, the Promenade, and historic Cranberry street, you will enjoy a window in every single room in the apartment, assuring you glorious light and picturesque views no matter the time of day. Situated just one flight up in a beautifully maintained pre-war coop with a live-in super, newly renovated roofdeck with panoramic river and Manhattan views, a bike and motorcycle storage area, and even includes a large storage cage in the basement for no additional charge. Enter through a glorious pre-war lobby, past the gleaming brass mailboxes and marble foyer, up a generous flight of stairs and arrive home to an apartment that requires nothing to make it your new residence. A convenient split layout ensures privacy to both bedrooms, with an elegant living and dining area in the middle, and an adjacent galley kitchen with a window looking out on to Cranberry Street. Pre-war details abound throughout the home and include shiplap walls, hardwood floors, high-ceilings, and solid core doors with glass and brass hardware. Additional features include fully customized closets and custom built-in millwork that ensures a place for everything. The windowed chef's kitchen has been fully renovated in an eternally appealing farmhouse style that includes creamy white cabinetry, a fully paneled Sub-Zero fridge, a deep white porcelain apron-front sink, rich Carrara marble countertops, and vintage cup hardware on the drawers. An ode to the endless charms of the nearby historic Brooklyn Heights architecture. And don't miss the modern features that make even cooking for a crowd a breeze. These delights include a garbage disposal, GE Gas range, PLUS a built-in GE speed oven/microwave. The windowed full bathroom is equally appealing with its oversized Carrara marble floors juxtaposed perfectly with classic white subway-tiled walls and a suite of chrome Kohler cross-handle fixtures and a white pedestal sink. A niche with glass shelving in the tub/shower and an extra medicine cabinet makes storage easy. Head to the front of the apartment, past a large storage closet, where a glorious bedroom with two exposures and water views awaits. Currently used as a bedroom that does double duty as an office and/or bedroom, you will enjoy a wall with two floor-to-ceiling bookshelves built-out on one side, perfectly spaced for a regular bed, a murphy bed, or a sofa to tuck between. The other side includes a masterfully constructed custom desk and storage area, perfect for all of your office needs. An even larger bedroom on the other side of the apartment easily accommodates a king-sized bed and enjoys the peace and tranquility of Cranberry Street. A large and fully customized closet offers abundant storage. Right outside your front door the world-famous promenade awaits with its glorious views of the East River and Lower Manhattan. At the end of the block is the entrance to Brooklyn Bridge Park, and around the corner is an array of award-winning restaurants, shops, PS 8, and every single subway line at Borough Hall. Dumbo amenities are also an easy jaunt down the hill, and of course, don't miss the incredible hillside dog park a block away. Laundry is not allowed in the apartments but there is a spacious laundry room in the basement with many machines, and a large storage cage for no extra charge. Pet friendly too. You don't want to miss this special home. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 5 - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1890 - **Common Charges**: $1,714 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Oct 12, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Building Other - Dining Area - High Ceilings - Storage - Dishwasher - Bridge(s) - City - Downtown - Park/Greenbelt - River ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$8,768 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($279,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 10 (Apartment) | 1 | $577,000 | February 10, 2025 | MLS | | 46 (Apartment) | 1 | $710,000 | January 16, 2025 | 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 - **This home**: $1,395,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,388,750 - **Difference**: +$6,250 (+0.5%) - **Comparable sales**: 26 - **Sales from**: November 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,281,250 – $1,593,750 Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Brooklyn Heights. Square footage is recorded for only 11 of these 26 sales (42%), 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. 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 - **Sale-to-list price**: 99.3% (23 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 52% (23 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 70 days (25 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 91 days (25 sales) Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Brooklyn Heights with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. 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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op two-bedroom sales in Brooklyn Heights | 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 | Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Brooklyn Heights. Sales data through August 2026. 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.
