104 Pierrepont St, APT 1

104 Pierrepont Street is the embodiment of the remarkable architecture that composes New York City's first landmark district, Brooklyn Heights. The grandly proportioned 25' Italianate townhouse built by the Pierreponts' in 1856 now stands as four coop apartments developed by American architect and historian, Norval White. An incredible example of historic interior architecture, the overtly grand parlor floor has soaring 12-foot ceilings accentuated by completely restored ornamental plasterwork, which encompasses a hand painted cherub mural. Other exceptional period details include inlaid parquet floors, etched glass pocket doors, leaded glass corner cabinets and transom, along with an extensive schedule of detailed mill-work including wainscoting, casings, surrounds, mirrors, mantels and doors. Apartment 1 combines the parlor and garden floors into a nearly 3,000 square foot duplex with 700 square feet of private outdoor space. The 3 bedroom (1 interior) /2.5 bathroom home is ideally suited for entertaining with a modernized side-kitchen that contains a Subzero refrigerator, Garland commercial grade stove and granite countertops. There are many special moments throughout this unique property, including a sun- room that overlooks and accesses the garden, an ingenious library, and a master bedroom suite with sitting room and home office that directly leads into the garden. The majority of the basement space for the entire property is exclusively dedicated to this apartment and presents a further opportunity to develop livable spaces. Other upgrades include central air conditioning. As one of the best preserved enclaves of residential housing stock in the entire country, Brooklyn Heights along with 104 Pierrepont Street, 1 continues to be a feature in the updated versions of the AIA Guide to New York City.
