    What's special

    This truly extraordinary, triple-mint penthouse in the sky is finally available for purchase. With 1,956 square feet of impeccably designed interior space and a must be seen to be believed 1,000+ square foot roof terrace featuring unobstructed views of Downtown Manhattan, The Statue of Liberty, The Hudson River and beyond, this home is the modern epitome of indoor/outdoor living. Choose your view - coffee with the sun rising over the nearby church steeple or cocktails with stunning orange and pink sunsets over the river - all from the incredible sun-soaked 40' Great Room. This enormous living space is an entertainers dream with windows facing North, South, East and West. There's even a skylight over the chef-worthy kitchen. All appliances are top of the line Miele including dual-zone wine refrigerator, induction range and two ovens. Other features include custom walnut and white lacquer cabinetry, Caeserstone countertops and giant center island/breakfast bar. The King-sized Master Bedroom with West-facing wall of windows allows light to stream in all day while maintaining total privacy. The knockout en-suite windowed bathroom has a double marble vanity, large marble stall shower and an abundance of storage. The second bedroom has been completely transformed by the addition of custom Italian built-ins which allow you to easily switch between home office and guest room. And two more bedrooms, a five-piece 2nd bathroom, powder room and laundry closet round out the South side of the house. Then, of course, there's the show-stopping terrace. High above Brooklyn and practically noise-free, you may not find a better outdoor space anywhere. Nearly 60 feet of water frontage, direct Manhattan views, built-in chef's quality grill with wet bar, refrigerator and side burner, reclaimed wood planter boxes, irrigation system and entrances from both the Great room and Master Bed. The penthouse also comes with a Miele washer/dryer, 36,000 BTU HVAC with smart thermostat, custom lighting and gorgeous 4" walnut floors throughout. To top it all off, a private landing with huge wall of cabinetry and storage closet, a large storage cage downstairs and 4 spots in the bike room are also included. 255 Columbia Street is a truly remarkable 13-unit condominium with an active board, low common charges and an uncommon spirit of camaraderie among neighbors. The building opened in 2014 and features a meticulously landscaped common backyard with a professional-grade cooking grill and furnished dining area. Constructed using the principles of Passive House design, 255 Columbia far exceeds the efficiency of the most common "green" certifications. With an ultra-insulated building envelope, heat recovery ventilation system, low-energy lighting throughout and solar panels on the roof, electrical consumption is approximately 1/3rd of the national household average. The Columbia Street Waterfront District is one of Brooklyn's smallest, but most vibrant neighborhoods. Bordered by Brooklyn Bridge Park, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens and Red Hook, the CSWD shares some of the best characteristics and amenities of its more well-known neighbors while maintaining a singularly unique identity. For the foodie, some of the best restaurants are right outside your door including Popina, Petite Crevette, Bar Bruno, Lucali's and Alma. If outdoor activity is your passion, there are 6 community gardens, a dedicated bike path, public tennis courts, multiple playgrounds and direct access to Brooklyn Bridge Park. Food Bazaar, Trader Joe's and Ikea are less than 10 minutes away as is the South Brooklyn Ferry to Wall Street. There's even more to love, so call today to arrange your private viewing. Currently zoned for PS 29.
