Description
An oversized, custom entry door welcomes you inside this fastidiously gutted and...The epitome of South Williamsburg townhouse living is now available in this meticulously gut-renovated, single-family home, delivering a mesmerizing blend of old and new that's utterly unique and undeniably refined. Featuring three spacious bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths, plus four exceptional outdoor spaces, this one-of-a-kind residence embodies the contemporary Brooklyn luxury lifestyle at its finest.
An oversized, custom entry door welcomes you inside this fastidiously gutted and expanded 3,800-square-foot home encompassing four levels plus a large cellar. The rich tapestry of historic bones, industrial-chic finishes and designer sophistication is both aesthetically pleasing and incredibly inviting. The open-concept design and large Pella windows and doors enhance the flow of natural light, while tall ceilings, 5-inch white oak floors, and swaths of brick accentuate the 20-foot-wide building's grand proportions. Throughout the home, custom metal and polished concrete elements created on site nod to an unwavering attention to detail.
The expansive parlor level offers an extraordinary open footprint for seating and dining areas alongside a decorative fireplace and the centerpiece custom metal staircase. Ahead, the Italian Euromobil kitchen impresses with dark cabinetry and a wealth of high-end appliances, including a vented Thermador cooktop, Miele built-in oven and coffee system, a cabinet-front Liebherr refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher and Sharp microwave drawer. Rows of glass doors invite you to a terrace with a gas grill, perfect for al fresco dining overlooking the large backyard. A chic powder room completes the parlor floor.
Below, the home's sprawling indoor-outdoor garden level stretches 48 feet from its under-stoop entrance to glass doors opening to the lower terrace and outdoor kitchen. Use this vast space as a family room, playroom, office or whatever your needs require. There's a full bathroom on this level, and this completely open layout could easily accommodate the addition of a fourth bedroom without taking away from its bright and airy ambiance. Below, you'll find a finished cellar with laundry hookups and abundant space for storage, a wine collection, a fitness area and more.
On the second floor, two extra-large secondary bedrooms boast roomy walk-in closets. One offers an oversized, south-facing terrace and direct access to a semi-private full bathroom. An LG side-by-side washer and dryer add convenience to this floor.
The top level is dedicated to a magazine-worthy, full-floor owner's suite, where a king-size bedroom is flanked by a decorative fireplace, sitting area and walk-in closet. Along the southern exposure, the exquisite open bathroom is drenched in natural light and filled with exceptional fixtures, including a freestanding tub, glass shower and custom concrete finishes. Above, you'll find a private rooftop deck with views stretching all the way to the Manhattan skyline.
This home's extensive upgrades include a Comlit intercom, exterior security cameras, Lutron smart light switches, a mini-split Mitsubishi HVAC system, and integrated Sonos speakers.
This stunning South Williamsburg location offers wonderful character and a laidback atmosphere that's far from the hustle and bustle of the city yet within easy reach of the best local amenities. Just two blocks west, you'll find outstanding waterfront outdoor space and attractions at five-acre Domino Park, including the breathtaking Refinery building, home to a brand-new, 36,000-square-foot Equinox outpost. Marsha P. Johnson State Park and McCarren Park are less than a mile north. Shopping, dining and entertainment await at Whole Foods, Apple, the Music Hall of Williamsburg, Williamsburg Cinemas, Jack's Wife Freda, The Butcher's Daughter and more. Transportation is effortless with L, J, M and Z trains, the North 5th and South 8th ferry landings.
