Private parking and a free standing heated garage or working studio and patio area round out this unexpected oasis that offers the very best of gracious urban living. Sitting on a 26’x100’ lot and measuring at 3700 square feet, with an additional 590 square foot heated garage, the airy three-story (plus cellar) property has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 2 roof terraces as well as ground floor outdoor space. The sun-drenched designer kitchen features top of the line appliances, ample cabinetry and counter space galore.

The large laundry room is in the finished basement. This state of the art home is a passive building. Extremely air tight and insulated, conventional heating and cooling are not required. Specialized equipment removes stale air from the house while filtered fresh air is supplied. During the winter months, heat inside the house is captured to generate and deliver heated fresh air throughout. Top of the line triple pane tilt and turn windows are part of this amazing system. To truly minimize the carbon footprint of this home, a solar system provides clean energy. The South facing angled roof increases solar exposure and dictates the geometry of the house. All fuel burning appliances were eliminated and energy efficient lights and appliances were installed. Working together, these components greatly reduce energy consumption and lower utility expenses by about 90% providing an unparalleled comfort level and sense of peace inside the house. Overlooking New York Harbor and downtown Manhattan, this house features South, East and West exposures and an extraordinary penthouse master suite that cantilevers over the driveway taking advantage of the 26’ lot. The crisp and clean finishes and incredible attention to detail compliment this expansive, bright and fresh house. Two blocks to Park Slope, and close to Prospect Park, great schools, transportation, wonderful restaurants and with easy access to Whole Foods, Industry City and all of the other amenities that make Brooklyn living so special, this is a one of a kind property that must be seen to be believed.
