Incomparable Prewar 1 Bedroom with Stunning Views in Doorman Building

OPEN HOUSES are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

Pin-drop quiet and awash in southern sunlight, this impeccably renovated high floor one bedroom, one bath offers sweeping views of Brooklyn Heights, the Columbia Waterfront & the New York Bay with the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge on the horizon. The apartment also overlooks historic Grace Court Alley-a serene, single block street lined with old-world carriage houses dating back to the mid-1800's. The vantage point of this apartment must be seen to be fully appreciated. 

Rarely offered for sale, this very special H-line home features a gracious entry foyer with the original checkerboard-pattern cork floors circa 1928 preceding a large south-facing living room with a spacious dining area and 8'-7 beamed ceilings. The impeccably renovated windowed kitchen is open to the living room and has been appointed with custom shaker-style cabinetry and white Italian marble countertops and backsplash. The kitchen's clean lines and minimalist design is in keeping with the home's refined aesthetic. 

A gracious hallway with the prewar checkerboard-pattern cork floors precedes a large south-facing bedroom affording more stunning views of Brooklyn and the water. The view from the bedroom is gracefully framed by a gorgeous willow tree arising from Grace Court Alley. The bedroom has two large, customized wall closets and can easily accommodate a king-size bed and a home office. 

The large, windowed prewar bathroom features the original grey and white prewar tiles, the original white pedestal sink, the original cast-iron bathtub and an extremely chic mini-checkerboard tile floor. 

Additional features of the home include the original brass hardware on doors, beautiful vintage-inspired lighting fixtures, upgraded moldings, a customized coat closet, a magnificent double closet opposite the bathroom and the original prewar cork floors throughout.
