55 Hicks St

A five-story pre-war co-op in Brooklyn Heights built in 1900, this low-rise masonry building contains primarily one-bedroom residences arranged across modest floors. The façade and massing reflect turn-of-the-century rowhouse and brownstone blocks; interiors commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, oversized windows, and original period details like tin ceilings or exposed brick where preserved. Individual apartments typically offer eat-in kitchens, generous closets or walk-in storage, and private outdoor space on lower units; several listings highlight large private decks or patios. Shared resources include a common roof deck with harbor and city views, basement bike storage, individual storage cages for rent, and a central laundry room. Building operations are traditional co-op style with a part-time or full-time super, board approval required for pets and pied-a-terre use, and typical co-op financing allowances. The location places residents on a quiet, tree-lined block minutes from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, DUMBO, local shops and restaurants, and multiple subway lines and ferry service, supporting an urban-within-neighborhood lifestyle that balances historic character and modern conveniences.
