Description
Perched high above the Brooklyn Museum and Botanical Gardens, this expansive and beautifully renovated 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is the perfect blend of pre-war feel and modern innovation. Recently updated, the goal of the renovation was to maintain the style of the apartment while modernizing & brightening, maximizing storage space, and creating a home that would not be outgrown. At more than 85 feet long with 20 windows and 3 exposures, this more than 2500 square foot home is truly a masterpiece.Upon entry you are already struck with the thought and detail involved - all new custom cabinetry frames a large entry foyer - complete with it's own custom bicycle storage, stroller parking, three custom shoe cabinets (combined can hold 75-100 pairs of shoes), and more than enough space for coats, suitcases, and life's other necessities. The foyer opens to the lofty open living space which encompasses a den/play area, the amazing open kitchen, and large formal dining space - finally culminating in the sun drenched living area with south-facing windows - and views out over the Museum, Botanical Gardens, and the horizon of Brooklyn beyond.The open chef's kitchen will bring joy to its cooks and diners alike with its suite of top-of-the-line appliances, stone counters and glass tile work, vented hood, wine fridge, and an incredible amount of supremely organized storage - including a bakers cabinet with pull out drawers and a space to roll in butcher block baker's cart. The dining space currently furnishes a table that seats 10, and with the high beamed ceilings and open wall space, is perfect for displaying artwork.The massive living space gives way to two wings of the home - the first wing, closest to the entry, houses one bedroom and full bath and is a perfect area for a home office or guest suite. The second wing, off of the living room, is home to three full bedrooms, a windowed full bathroom off the hall with both a tub and separate shower, and a luxurious master bedroom with south & west facing windows, a giant walk-in closet outfitted by California closets, and spa-like windowed master bathroom.Highlights of the recent renovation also include new herringbone white oak flooring, custom millwork radiator covers with touch-latch storage, solid core doors, sound proof walls in the added fourth bedroom (perfect for a nursery), opening of all the closets and additional of Elfa shelving, Shade Store custom solar and blackout shades, retiled and regrouted bathrooms, many upgrades and additions to the kitchen storage cabinets, the aforementioned custom foyer storage, and many more clever details.Turner Towers, built in 1926, is a grand pre-war, well established co-op with very reasonable monthly maintenance, featuring concrete construction (known for its soundproofing), white glove service, a beautiful and wide-open marble lobby, a gym, and basement storage (waitlist).
