About this House
Introducing the most unique residential property to be offered for sale in Brooklyn. This incredible compound is made up of two immaculate free-standing buildings comprising 4500 square feet, which share a common backyard, making an L-shaped parcel that creates the most spectacular modern living space, both indoors and out.
At its heart is a luxurious 3-story, century old townhouse. All the luxuries one could want in a living space are here, custom millwork, radiant heat wide plank floors, Central air, architectural staircases, walls of glass. Entering through the massive solid wood front door, the first of two main living spaces opens up, at once visually striking, warm and welcoming.
The Bubble is a functional sculpture that appears to grow out of the living room corner. With an integrated wood-burning fireplace as well as a comfy reading nook with molded seating and a plush white duvet, its soft internal lighting casts a warm glow into the living room. This is functional art, with another surprise inside, and above.
There is room for a dining table to seat 10 comfortably, a piano for when the mood strikes, and a powder room on this floor.
Upstairs find a full bath, a large bedroom and another open living space with fireplace, complete with a stainless steel wet bar and a wall of built-in shelves.
The third floor has another bedroom with full ensuite bath, as well as the impressive primary bedroom with a huge walk-in closet. The primary bath must truly be seen, the huge tropical plants in the built-in terrarium, with the massive rain-head shower, stone floor and skylight it feels like a verdant rainforest.
The large custom kitchen features Viking and Miele appliances, natural stone countertops and custom millwork. A wall of glass opens to the landscaped backyard. Step outside to a large Ipe wood deck, which gives way to a lush green lawn, framed on one side by a curved concrete and Ipe bench and on the other by a deep steel-framed planter with ferns, vines and flowering indigenous species. Following the lighted path to the back of compound brings you to the second building in this stunning property.
This 20x40 three-story structure has a curb-cut and indoor parking for two vehicles. With two roll-up garage doors opening to the street and into the backyard this is the ultimate flex space for any hobby, business or entertaining need.
Upstairs are two fully equipped floor-through Lofts, One with its own laundry and a separate bedroom. Each has a full kitchen & baths finished in Moroccan tile, and private balcony.
This unique compound breaks the mold of Townhouse living, with unmatched flexibility, style and space, and was built using the highest quality materials and engineering. Even the basement shows the attention to detail, with French drains and a full waterproof layer, along with the passive heating system, and tons of storage.
The neighborhood of Gowanus, which lies between Carroll Gardens and Park Slope, has always been the home to many artists, but the 2021 Re-zoning brought several marquee residential buildings and its rapidly becoming a dining and nightlife destination, while the fabled canal is now lined with a walking path with trees and green spaces. Brooklyn’s largest Whole Foods is a block away, and the vibrant Smith Street with the F&G Subways are a few minutes away.
Available for showings by private appointment.
