Historic Elegance Meets Thoughtful Innovation at 24 Middagh Street Welcome to 24 Middagh Street, a masterfully restored Federal-style home in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Built between 1790 and 1829, this corner property underwent a meticulous two-year transformation, blending historic preservation with modern design. Offering privacy, parking, and timeless character, it sits at the corner of Middagh and Willow Street-just a stroll from the Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and an easy Manhattan commute. The property includes a 24-foot-wide, four-story main house and a separate rear carriage house, joined by a tranquil courtyard with private parking, a curb cut, and EV charger-rare in this landmarked neighborhood. The Main Residence Spanning  approx. 3,357 square feet  across four levels, the main house features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, two offices, a music room, and a playroom. A 162-sq-ft garden-level extension replaced a former terrace, creating an open flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. A striking custom staircase by New York Stairs serves as a sculptural centerpiece. Bathrooms feature arched transitions, handmade tile, and spa-like finishes. The original shell was preserved, but the structure was fully overhauled: sistered joists, reinforced walls, steel beams, new roof beams, and a steel portico to the courtyard. The Kitchen A chef-worthy space with custom cabinetry, JennAir refrigerator, Miele induction cooktop, Bosch oven, and dramatic Calacatta Viola marble from ABC Stone. A large prep island and walk-in pantry make it perfect for entertaining. The Basement The previously unusable cellar is now a fully habitable basement with a concrete slab and micro-topping finish-ideal for a gym, media room, or storage. Comfort Meets Technology A new seven-zone HVAC system integrates with Google Nest thermostats for remote or voice control. Discreet split systems serve both dwellings, with outdoor units hidden in the courtyard. An ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation) system circulates fresh air year-round. Airtight membranes reduce leakage, and the exterior remains all wood to prevent thermal breaks. Architectural Integrity All main house windows were replaced with high-quality double-hung wood models for energy efficiency while maintaining the home's aesthetic. A section of the Willow Street sidewalk was rebuilt during the renovation. Courtyard & Craftsmanship The repaved, leveled courtyard functions as a serene outdoor space with driveway access. A handcrafted Alaskan Clear Cedar gate, inspired by century-old photos, ensures architectural continuity. New linear and point drains, tied into the city sewer, protect the foundation. The Carriage House The 900-sq-ft carriage house offers 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a wood-burning fireplace, and its own split HVAC-perfect for guests, a studio, or office. 24 Middagh Street is more than a home-it's a Brooklyn Heights landmark, revived with care and purpose. With 24 feet of width, two distinct dwellings, private parking, and a rare blend of history and innovation, it's one of the most compelling offerings in the city today.
