WILLOW STREET, BROOKLYN HEIGHTS
7 BED | 6 BATH | 8,673 SqFt TOTAL LIVING SPACE
Welcome to The Willow House, an architectural triumph and one of Brooklyn Heights’ most distinguished residences. Set on a rare 29-foot-wide corner lot built to a 25-foot width, this five-story landmark marries historic grandeur with unparalleled craftsmanship, offering three exposures and breathtaking Manhattan skyline views.
Originally built in 1838 and completely reconstructed, the home has just emerged from an exquisite, years-long renovation completed in 2025. The original structure was stripped down-to-the-studs and rebuilt with all-new steel framing, providing superior strength, fire resistance, and long-term stability. Every system has been meticulously updated, including new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and energy-efficient windows. The result is a modern, high-performance home designed to stand the test of time, elevating every detail to the pinnacle of modern luxury.
A grand double vestibule entry unveils soaring 12-foot ceilings, chevron-patterned European White Oak floors, and handcrafted plaster moldings by artisans behind the Smithsonian and The Plaza Hotel. At its core, a striking black walnut staircase—hand-built in North Carolina and finished in eight coats of tung oil—spirals through all five levels.
Descending to the garden level, accessible by both staircase and private elevator, is the bespoke chef’s kitchen. Anchored by a custom La Cornue Château 120 induction range and a cantilevered vanilla onyx island, it boasts Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, Waterworks fixtures, and a full-width window wall overlooking the lush private backyard and mature cherry blossom tree.
The third floor is an oasis of refinement, devoted entirely to the corner primary suite, featuring a west-facing bedroom and a historic fireplace mantel from Huguette Clark’s Fifth Avenue mansion, lending an authentic pre-war provenance to the space. The sunlit master bath boasts a clawfoot, cast iron tub, Carrara marble, double vanity, Waterworks polished nickel hardware, and electric fireplace.
The fourth and fifth floors house six additional graciously proportioned bedrooms and four impeccably designed baths, each exuding elegance and comfort. At the pinnacle, a spectacular roof terrace offers panoramic city views, an electric fireplace, and a wet bar—perfect for sophisticated entertaining.
A striking private elevator finished in Fine Paints of Europe’s brilliant red “glass grade” lacquer connects each floor, serving as both a statement piece and a marvel of design. Every detail of The Willow House reflects an uncompromising commitment to luxury, from the home’s SA Baxter hardware and Forbes & Lomax switches to the antique mantels and custom historic shutters adorning the windows on the parlor and primary levels.
The Willow House is a once-in-a-lifetime offering—an extraordinary fusion of architectural heritage, refined craftsmanship, and modern grandeur.
The warmth of Dinesen oak floors, intricate millwork, and a statement fireplace create a refined yet inviting atmosphere in the living room.
Bathed in natural light, the dining room offers a timeless setting where the beauty of the cherry tree outside seamlessly complements the refined interior.
