Description
==========
On a beautiful, tree-lined block in Brooklyn’s quaint Cobble Hill neighborhood, sits a townhouse initially used by a local grocer. Welcome to an industrial oasis topped with soaring ceilings and anchored by custom-made Madera Trade wide plank floors. This home’s revitalized interior aesthetic draws inspiration from 20th-century French modernists like Le Corbusier, Pierre Chareau, and Jean Prouve. Every inch of this home is thoughtfully designed to delight you, from the etched transom window that throws a shadow of the house’s number in script on the adjacent wall, to the custom-made blackened steel staircase.
Upon entering, an open concept reveals a spacious living room featuring a storefront window which you can leave exposed to street views, or close off with built-in blinds for private gatherings. This level also holds a convenient powder room with a modern design scheme and added washer + dryer. Here, you’ll also find a blackened steel and wire glass kitchen with a full suite of high-quality stainless steel appliances, including a gas range + hood, wine cooler, dishwasher and refrigerator, abundant storage space, and an island topped with Caesarstone.
An exposed brick wall complements the lacquered steel staircase on each level of this home and guides your path as you travel about. In the cellar, an additional spacious living area and under-the-stairs wet bar create the perfect hangout for entertaining guests or settling in for a relaxing night.
The stunning primary suite occupies the whole second level of this home with a large bedroom, a dressing area closet, and a windowed en suite bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed shower, sleek tile work, vanity, and designer finishes.
Two additional large bedrooms fill the third level, and a convenient full bathroom sits close to both rooms.
Practical conveniences like the ample power outlets, task lighting, and perhaps most of all, the heated bathroom flooring, are amenities that make daily life in the home a joy.
An enviable location leaves you near the F, G, 4, and 5 Subway lines, and several major bus routes. Explore the nearby Court Street to find local shops and dinner favorites.

Generally this kind of space in a really old building leaves me rather cold,however, this building is fresh, bright and extremely inviting. Really like the flexibility of the Floorplan and the finishes. Nice all the way around.

When you were walk I g up the first set if stairs to the middle landing I noticed that you could still see the kitchen but there was a nice small long bar placed there!! That is nice for little dogs there so they will not fall from the height of that landing down into the kitchen area. Very nice!!!

I love this place. As someone in real estate who takes video tours, your channel always inspire me. Thank you! I see in the description that you list your equipment, which is great (thank you). However, I'd love to see your full gear rig set up, everything you use when you film a tour. Do you think you could do a video outlining this? Also... what is the name of the song that plays at 4:25? Is that KZfaq branded, EpidemicSound or another program?

@TownTours 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for the support! The song title is "A Caring Friend" by Bad Snacks & it's available in the KZfaq audio library. A gear set up or "how to" type video has been on the to-do list for a while - glad to hear it's something others are interested in!

Wow. I am much more of a "give me more space" kind of a person, but it's very interesting to see how other people might live in such a small space. I'd go nuts without my own outdoor space or without being able to open my front window without having people peeking in! It's definitely beautiful though.

Beautiful home! Love how they transformed a grocery store into a bright and modern living space! Did I miss the price? And is there any exterior living space and parking?

@TownTours 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks - glad you enjoyed the tour! The home was just listed as a rental for $11,995/month. This location doesn't have private parking or exterior living space, but it's less than 3 blocks from both parks & parking.

Very nice ! Curious about the shop front and what it's history is

@TownTours 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! There's some information available in public records & newspaper archives, but if anyone reading the comments has more details, please share! The house was built between 1851-54 by William D. McCarty & first operated as a rental. Herman Schulmerich then purchased the home in 1878, operating a liquor store on the first level & living upstairs. By 1937, the storefront became a grocery & butcher shop called the Paramount. The store remained family-owned for decades, eventually becoming an antique shop called "Little Luna" in 1992. It's been reimagined & used as a single-family townhouse since 2013.
