Inside, this two-floor apartment in the Standish at 171 Columbia Heights looks for all the world like the gracious pre-war co-ops and townhouses that surround it in historic Brooklyn Heights. But this 1,786-square-foot home has the convenience of full-service condo living in a converted Beaux-Arts hotel. Asking $3,995,000, the duplex has enough space to add a third bedroom to its already generous two-bedroom layout.
With interiors done by Patrick Mele, the home is move-in-ready (provided you’re partial to lush materials and classically elegant decor). Framed by high, coffered ceilings, herringbone floors, crown moldings, and oversized arched windows, built-ins and custom details add 21st-century livability.
The main floor is anchored by a 30-foot-long great room with 12-foot ceilings and arched windows that frame the streetscape below. There’s enough space to add a third bedroom, made even easier by a full bath already in place.
A well-outfitted galley kitchen offers premium appliances framed by contemporary white cabinetry and Carrara marble worktops. A large pantry serves this capable space. There’s plenty of room for a formal dining area adjacent to the kitchen.
Up a dramatic stair, sleeping quarters begin with an impressive primary suite. Bay windows overlook the neighborhood, and four custom closets keep clutter behind closed doors. A suitably classic ensuite bath has a glass-enclosed shower and a freestanding soaking tub. The large second bedroom has its own full bath.
The Standish offers an elevator, a 24-hour doorman, concierge services, a fitness studio, a playroom, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with harbor views. As an added bonus, the duplex includes a private storage cage.
