Sprawling Williamsburg Penthouse With McCarren Park Views, Three Terraces Asks $2.695 Million
Walls of windows are the focal point of this two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex, giving the feeling of floating in the clouds.
This Williamsburg penthouse encompasses two floors atop The Aurora, a 12-story building with 51 units that was built in 2006. It offers stunning views of 35-acre McCarren Park, which means owners have across-the-street access to a full-sized track, tennis courts, soccer fields, bocce court, and one of the largest pools in New York City.
Walls of windows are the focal point of the apartment, giving the feeling of floating in the clouds. Heightening the connection to nature are three private outdoor spaces.
A keyed elevator opens onto a large entry gallery with floor to ceiling angled windows and a large terrace beyond. The living room, kitchen and dining room flow from this entrance hall, sandwiched between walls of windows on either end.
The open plan kitchen features stainless steel Wolfe and SubZero appliances.
Both bedrooms are on this floor, as well. The master has an en-suite bathroom as well as a smaller room that can be used as a large walk-in closet. There is another bathroom near the second bedroom.
The bathrooms are equipped with Toto toilets, Kohler fixtures and a Zuma deep soaking bathtub.
The upper floor has two decks in addition to a large sitting area as well as room for a study or office. There is also an area for preparing food and drinks for the upper terraces.
There are Brazilian wood floors throughout and the heating and air conditioning units are individually controlled.
Designed by Karl Fisher and Andreas Escobar, the building includes amenities such as a doorman, a roof deck with grilling station, cold storage, and a fitness center on the top floor. Private gated parking is available for purchase.
In terms of nightlife, this neighborhood achieves “peak Williamsburg” with Brooklyn Winery, Pete’s Candy Store, Muchmores, and the Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) lab all within walking distance.
See it for yourself at an open house this Sunday, May 20, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
