The Newest Gem of Greenwood Heights: The Greenwood

in

The Greenwood, located on a quaint and tree-lined block in Greenwood Heights, is a brand new and elegant 8-unit condominium that offers 2-bedroom homes, with intuitive layouts and expansive, sun-drenched rooms. With its striking and contemporary façade, The Greenwood features architecturally balanced spaces where the use of organic materials like wood, stone and porcelain are offset with generously sized windows framing lush, treetop landscapes to be admired from nearly every room. Choice finishes include custom Ornare kitchen cabinetry, Quartz counters and Bosch appliances.

The bathrooms are handsomely outfitted with Italian Florim porcelain, Grohe hardware and Toto fixtures. While most apartments have private outdoor space, the building is also amenitized with a common finished roof deck providing superb, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline. As added bonuses, The Greenwood offers stroller parking in the lobby, a common roof deck, private storage, video intercom, and central air.

“The Greenwood offers exceptional quality and high end style with layouts that are wide- allowing for uncompromising southern exposure and northwest views of Manhattan,” says Lesley Semmelhack of The Corcoran Group, who is leading sales at The Greenwood. “Each unit, all two bed/two baths, have total square footage that is hard to match in the neighboring area for the same price per square foot. All units have unadulterated vistas of the entire city skyline and is positioned at the highest point in the neighborhood.”

For residents living in Greenwood Heights, leisure and peace are just a part of daily life. This serene neighborhood is bordered by Prospect Avenue to the north, 38th Street to the south, 20th Street and MacDonald Avenue to the east and Green-Wood Cemetery to the west. Here, it's all about the views: the neighborhood earned the "Heights" moniker for its elevation over the rest of Brooklyn's enclaves, and it provides plenty of top-tier glimpses of the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan skyline and Prospect Park. Greenwood Heights is served by the N and D express lines, as is located on the R line.

The agents for the building are Corcoran’s Lesley Semmelhack, Erik Semmelhack, and Amanda McAvena.

Douglas Elliman continues to expand it's company’s presence in Brooklyn with the acquisition of Brooklyn Hearth Realty, a highly respected firm founded in 2004 with offices in North Slope and Ditmas Park, and the addition of new offices in Williamsburg and Bedford-Stuyvesant later this year. 

With this expansion, Douglas Elliman brings its office count to 90 nationally, adding approximately 20 percent more agents to the firm for a total of more than 300 agents in Brooklyn.

“Brooklyn Hearth boasts the skillset, proven track record and marketing creativity that mirrors the work of Douglas Elliman, and we are delighted to officially welcome them to our firm”
— Howard M. Lorber, Chairman of Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC

Brooklyn Hearth Realty was instrumental in the growing popularity amongst home buyers, sellers and investors in Ditmas Park, Windsor Terrace and sections of Park Slope over the past decade. All eight employees, including its three founding partners, Rebekah Carver, Jan Rosenberg and DeAnna Lenhart, will join Douglas Elliman and will continue to work from their locations at 207 Cortelyou Road in Ditmas Park and 43 Fifth Avenue in Park Slope, which will now be branded as Douglas Elliman locations.

As part of a continuing growth strategy aimed at representing and serving the needs of clients, the acquisition and expansion will add dynamic new communities to Douglas Elliman’s national network of more than 6,500 professionals across 90 offices nationwide.

Beginning in 2004, Brooklyn Hearth helped ignite the once dormant co-op market in Ditmas Park and attracted new inhabitants by putting urban research about local Brooklyn neighborhoods into action. Rosenberg, a sociologist and former professor at Long Island University in Brooklyn, started the firm after she, along with others in the community, realized the neighborhood needed more vitality and new residents.
