A truly distinctive townhouse & art studio with a large carport was built in 2007 by Standard Architects & then re-envisioned by Crawford Projects in 2015 as a glamorous 4600 one-family home with three outdoor spaces including a roof-deck with river & city views. This is a truly inspirational home, the likes of which has never been offered in Williamsburg, or anywhere in Brooklyn before. If you have been looking for a domestic compound with a fine-art, high-design and Mid-Century modern pedigree, look no further. Situated on the Southside of Williamsburg with Domino Park just a block away & every amenity right outside your door & easy access to Manhattan via ferries, subways and bridges. Envisioned as an architectural gem that adds flavor to the already eclectic facades of industrial Williamsburg, this home's honeycomb Efis façade offers privacy and incredible open views. Envisioned as an upside-down house so that the open kitchen and living spaces could best showcase the water & skyline views with easy access to a rooftop garden with Artesian Spa, this home has an organic layout that can be easily altered to accommodate many different lifestyles. The first floor was transformed into a cozy & dramatic space that works perfectly as either a family space, a home-work opportunity, or a hybrid of both. Currently used as four distinctive areas including a mezzanine office area, an opulent dining room, a sunken lounge area with custom built-ins, a murphy bed, and a home gym. With 14' ceilings & moody atmosphere created by oversized Tom Dixon pendants, dark floors, a Malm gas fireplace, marbleized Calico wallpaper, and built-in custom sofas with LED accent lighting, this room is the ultimate hangout space. A striking kitchenette includes a Scottsman Ice-maker, Bosch oven, Fischer Paykel dishwasher drawer, Newport Brass faucets and a lush Calacatta marble counter & backsplash. The full bath is a combination of black matte Majorca fan mosaic tile & brass Kohler Purist fixtures. By contrast, the upper three floors evoke the simplicity & sophistication of a mid-century Eichler home. Defined by the luminescence of high ceilings, oversized windows & open spaces contrasting with warmth & raw edges of poured concrete floors, cut stone & wood flooring. Starting at the top is a fully realized roof-deck with concrete pavers, sunken spa & built-in planters. The views of the water & skyline are simply breathtaking. Head one flight down to an open floorplan with a MadMen aesthetic that includes a gourmet kitchen complete with Wolf 6-burner range, Yves Klein blue Viking hood, and an electric dumbwaiter that allows you to easily make deliveries to every floor. Endless walls of custom cabinetry, Quartz countertops, bar area, and an oversized fridge & icemaker allow you to indulge your inner chef. Head outdoors on this level to a spacious balcony with gas-grill hookup. A primary bedroom suite offers a spa-like master bath with a glass enclosed shower & bath area, Ipe floors & vanity, Dornbracht hardware & penny-tiled walls. The discrete bedroom includes Verner Panton VP1 bedside pendants, Bose speakers & a large dressing room with LED illuminated closet rods & custom closets. Head down one more flight to another large open floor currently configured as an extra-large bedroom in front with a spacious den in back, leading out to a large terrace with a bamboo hedge, green wall, sculptural steel privacy walls, drip irrigation system & firewood storage rack. A full bathroom on this floor is a combination of polished concrete floors & subway tiles, and multiple built-in closets give you a place to put everything away. At 4600 SF, this home has limitless potential & parking. Additional special features include hot-water radiant heated floors throughout the home, central AC, operable skylights, extra-high ceilings, laundry room, gas grill connections on the roof & the balcony, clerestory windows & George Nelson pendant lights throughout.
