    What's special

    A fully furnished townhouse residence by ECKSTROM, available for flexible occupancy. Set on one of Cobble Hill's most picturesque tree-lined blocks, 487 Henry Street is a reimagined 19th-century townhouse that offers the rare opportunity to experience one of Brooklyn's most thoughtfully designed private residences on a flexible-term basis. Built between 1844 and 1845 by Jacob Frost, the residence has been reimagined, developed, and designed by ECKSTROM in collaboration with General Assembly. The original stoop, proportions, and rhythmic facade remain intact, while the interiors have been entirely re-envisioned for contemporary living, incorporating passive design principles that enhance comfort, efficiency, and environmental performance. Spanning 6,271 square feet across five floors, the fully furnished home offers five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two powder rooms, and over 2,000 square feet of private outdoor space. Every room has been carefully designed and appointed, creating a residence that is ready for immediate occupancy. The parlor level is centered around entertaining, with generous ceiling heights and a seamless flow between living and dining spaces. Below, the kitchen opens directly to the private garden, providing a more intimate setting for everyday living. Throughout the home, a restrained palette of natural materialsincluding white oak, marble, walnut, and quartziteis complemented by custom millwork, Waterworks fixtures, bespoke cabinetry, limewashed walls, and a carefully curated Farrow & Ball palette. A private wellness retreat includes a fitness studio, sauna, and cold plunge, while multiple family rooms, two outdoor kitchens, and two landscaped roof terraces offer a variety of spaces for both gathering and retreat. Offered fully furnished and available immediately, 487 Henry Street is ideally suited for executive relocation, families renovating nearby, international residents, or those seeking an exceptional turnkey residence in Brooklyn for a limited term. Flexible lease terms available upon request.
