Description

A Private Mews Estate | Brooklyn Heights In a neighborhood defined by architectural pedigree, true privacy is the rarest luxury of all.

21 Hunts Lane is not simply a townhouse, but a discreet dual-frontage estate concealed within one of Brooklyn Heights’ last surviving 19th-century mews. Spanning approximately 4,900 square feet across an extraordinary 31-foot width, this fully integrated residence unites the grand parlor floors of 132 Remsen Street with a historic carriage house on Hunts Lane to create a singular private home.

The residence benefits from two private entrances. The formal parlor-level entry on Remsen Street offers a stately arrival, while the Hunts Lane entrance provides discreet access directly into the private living areas—an architectural advantage that enhances privacy and autonomy.

Upon entry, soaring fourteen-foot ceilings crown a classic double-parlor sequence of remarkable proportion. Original moldings, marble mantels, and three fireplaces—one woodburning and two wired for electric—frame rooms of exceptional width and light. The front parlor offers a refined setting for entertaining at scale, while a privately positioned office allows for an elegant live/work arrangement within the home.

The residence flows seamlessly into the attached carriage house, adding flexibility and privacy across multiple levels. A private two-car garage—virtually unheard of in Brooklyn Heights—further elevates the rarity and estate-like nature of the home.

With six bedrooms and six bathrooms, the home offers a scale and discretion more commonly associated with private compounds than traditional townhouses. Thoughtfully composed yet inviting, it presents a rare opportunity to create a deeply personal legacy residence within one of Brooklyn Heights’ most distinguished settings.

Moments from the neighborhood’s most esteemed schools, dining, waterfront parks, and multiple subway lines, 21 Hunts Lane & 132 Remsen Street stands as a legacy acquisition defined by scale, architectural integrity, uncommon privacy, and the extraordinary luxury of private parking.
