Marlon Wise's Blog: Brooklyn Heights one-bedroom with graciously sized terrace seeks $1.13M

Living on the top floor can have its perks

Living on the top floor of a walk-up building means a lot of schlepping up and down stairs, but it can also have its perks. This Brooklyn Heights one-bedroom puts those perks on full display with its 14-foot by 24-foot terrace, perched off of the master bedroom on the building's back side, as well as its bright, sunny living area.

The apartment at 28 Pierrepont Street, between Hicks and Willow streets, has been renovated with a new kitchen that includes a washer and dryer hook-up and simple, yet stylish fixtures. (The listing doesn't go into detail about the finishes, but does point out the apartment's 11-foot ceilings and wood floors.)

The bedroom comes with built-in shelving and a true wood-burning fireplace, one of the apartment's other major perks alongside the gracious outdoor space.

The apartment, a co-op, is on the market for $1.125 million with Sean McPeak of Compass. Maintenance runs $947/month.
