The Standish is a restored 12-story Beaux-Arts condominium in Brooklyn Heights, originally built in 1903 and reimagined as a boutique luxury residence. The property contains roughly two dozen units configured primarily as one- and two-bedroom homes, many retaining prewar elements such as bay windows, elevated ceilings, and generous entry foyers. Interior finishes across residences emphasize high-end materials and period detail: wide-plank Austrian (Australian) white oak floors, crown moldings, recessed lighting, kitchen islands with Carrara marble, custom cabinetry, and premium appliances. Baths commonly include travertine and mosaic accents, rain showers, soaking tubs, double vanities, and natural-brass fixtures. Shared spaces are intimate and service-oriented, including a 24/7 doorman and concierge, a fitness studio, a playroom, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with harbor and Manhattan skyline views. The building footprint also offers a roof deck and planted garden areas; additional storage and bicycle spaces are available for purchase. Parking is not intrinsic to the historic brownstone context; the property’s location on tree-lined Columbia Heights places it steps from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, transit, restaurants, and neighborhood retail, delivering a lifestyle that blends turn-of-the-century character with contemporary condominium conveniences.
