Available August 15 - September 1 (flexible) | $12,000/month
Step into a designer-furnished, move-in-ready penthouse that defines elevated Brooklyn living. Perched atop a new, beautifully maintained 8-unit condominium in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, this curated, high-end 1,600-square-foot duplex offers nearly 900 additional square feet of private outdoor space with sweeping views of the Statue of Liberty, East River, Lower Manhattan, and Governors Island.
Walk up three easy flights through the building's elegant entry and hallway to your private apartment entrance, complete with entry mudroom. Inside, the main level opens into a sunlit living space featuring a custom-built couch, an art wall with integrated The Art Frame TV, a striking custom chandelier, and unforgettable sunset views across the Manhattan skyline. Thoughtful touches like beautiful custom wallpaper throughout add warmth and style to every corner.
The chef's kitchen features top-tier Miele appliances, Italian marble countertops, custom millwork, plenty of storage, spacious pantries, and a rare NYC perk: a garbage disposal. Also on this level are two spacious side-by-side bedrooms one with a "Juliet" balcony plus a sleek full bathroom, powder room, and private enclosed office ideal for remote work, two hallway closets and a linen closet. A full-size, vented washer and dryer adds convenience.
Upstairs, the "birdhouse" primary suite opens directly onto dual private terraces. One offers lush landscaping and sunrise coffee moments; the other, perfect for entertaining or relaxing as the sun sets over the harbor. The primary includes two closets and an ensuite spa-like bathroom with floor-to-ceiling marble tile and double vanities. All outdoor areas feature automated watering systems for low maintenance and are furnished beautifully with their own unique space.
The home is equipped with a modern dual-zone air conditioning and heating system with built-in high-end air filtration, and noise-dampening windows ensure a peaceful city escape.
