96 Schermerhorn Street   Unit 6DE

Unit 6DE at 96 Schermerhorn is a modern loft masterpiece of epic proportions and fine craftmanship beyond anything you have ever seen on the market in Brooklyn. Envisioned and executed by award-winning architect Gita Nandan at Thread Collective, this 1720 SF loft is a Scandinavian-design inspired two-bedroom, three-bath home with two home offices that accommodates living, working and entertaining on a level far superior to anything that you could ever imagine. Painstakingly transformed by the current owners into a home of epic proportions, beguiling details, infinite practicality and incredible luxury. 96 Schermerhorn is a grand dame of Brooklyn Heights, offering the perfect dramatic backdrop for a modern transformation. This elevator building offers a 24-hour doorman, a laundry room on the 2nd floor, bike storage in the basement, and a communal roofdeck.
Enter into a grand foyer where you will immediately be taken by the unexpected scale of 11’ ceilings and multiple spaces articulated by masterful woodwork that combine the clever precision of fine yacht design with the heft and quality of local artisans. Oak paneled ceilings and oversized raked oak sliding doors unite the space while simultaneously providing separation and privacy for daily tasks. Luxuriate in an incredible chef’s kitchen, an oversized great room with separate dining and living spaces, two spacious bedrooms, and two unexpected home offices with custom built-ins that accommodate storage beyond your wildest dreams. Enjoy light all day from oversized windows that wash this home with light. The entrance hall alone offers a huge utility closet, a built-in shoe bench, a full-bath, and a fully customized office area with a built-in desk and lighting.
The gourmet kitchen is a masterpiece of custom rift oak cabinetry built to provide a space for everything including two appliance garages, three pull out pantries, Neolith Calacatta Sintered Stone countertops, and a comfortable eating bar. Fully integrated appliances include top of the line 36” Wolf Gas Range with an undercabinet slide-out range hood, 30” Wolf electric wall oven, 30” Wolf warming drawer, 42” Sub Zero fridge, 24” Sub-Zero wine fridge, and Dornbracht faucet. The striking combination of simple materials and stunning appliances makes every day cooking easy and fun.
From there you can head towards the front of the apartment where a spacious dining area is defined by a wall of custom millwork perfect for all of your entertaining and display needs and is backed by bookmatched Neolith Calacatta. A Moooi copper Heracleum light perfectly floats over your dining area. Open to a great room of impressive scope, the living space is defined on the other side by an entertainment center that takes discrete storage to a new level. Painted white cabinetry with oak trim hides your TV and media equipment, while also providing an additional sculptural element both practical and beautiful.
A coveted split layout provides for two spacious bedrooms with separation and privacy, both with ensuite bathrooms, and a third full-bathroom for guests in the entrance hall. The master bedroom offers up a full wall of custom built-in closets. The 2nd bedroom is large enough for a king bed and also has terrific closets and storage. All three full bathrooms are impressive examples of understated luxury. A 5-piece master suite enjoys a large walk-in steam shower, a freestanding Signature Hardware tub, radiant heated floors, and a double vanity. All three bathrooms have been outfitted with Waterworks fixtures and the perfect combination of oversized Carrara marble tiles paired with striking hex, herringbone or field tiles. Clever storage abounds in every bathroom.
The last unexpected treasure is a home office with a seamlessly built-in bed. Ingeniously centered in the middle of the apartment, you can leave the monumental sliding doors open to double the size of your living room, or you can close them off to create a spacious guest suite or a home office with floor-to-ceiling storage and a beautiful built-in workspace.
Additional features include 6” white-oak wide-plank floors and custom millwork storage cabinets under all windows that perfectly hide the heating and cooling units. A Nest thermostat system has been set up to easily control the temperature throughout every season. A suite of designer lighting in every room includes Marset Pleat Box Pendants over the kitchen island and perfectly placed designer lighting throughout. Truly no stone has been left unturned.
