Above and beyond in every sense imaginable. The epitome of contemporary design meets historic brownstone style in this utterly reimagined and reconstructed 25-foot-wide Cobble Hill townhouse. The marriage of loft living and brownstone charm, this house was intentionally designed to maximize light and a sense of space and connection throughout. It includes top-of-the-line finishes, numerous separate but integrated living areas, an elevator stopping on every floor, four separate levels of outdoor space and a highly sought-after North Cobble Hill location. A roster of smart home features creates an effortless lifestyle in this turnkey showpiece home.

Masterfully designed by award-winning Brooklyn architect Mike Ingui, this bespoke residence is the result of more than two years of thoughtful planning and rigorous landmark approvals. Modern interventions and engineering join lovingly preserved historical details, like original fireplace mantels, cleverly repurposed stained glass windows, beautifully restored by hand, a stunning pier mirror that adds a touch of grandeur to the space – all seamlessly integrated into modern living. Thoughtfully designed staircase niches capture the timeless charm of classic brownstone architecture. Original brick was repurposed to create arched doorways in the home's wine cellar. Ceilings soar up to 14 feet high over hand-sanded white wide-plank oak flooring. Ultra-high-end triple-pane windows glide, tilt or turn with ease and keep the neighborhood noise out. Custom millwork, Waterworks fixtures, swaths of marble, and a stunning hand-carved staircase run throughout.

The drama of the space and volume greets you the moment you enter through the parlor foyer, where views stretch over this massive space and into the rear yard. In the living/dining room, entertain alongside a marble gas fireplace (which can be converted to wood-burning should you prefer) and custom walnut and marble bar with a Sub-Zero wine cooler and ice maker. Ahead looking across the home’s stunning 30-foot tall triple-height center atrium, the gourmet kitchen impresses with double-height ceilings, walnut millwork, and top of the line appliances, including a stainless steel AGA Elise induction range, two Miele dishwashers, and Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer columns and drawers. Take casual meals at the built-in banquette or the massive island topped by a single slab of 2-inch marble, and enjoy the convenience of the concealed charging station and coffee bar. Outside, the yard welcomes al fresco entertaining with a bluestone patio, SynLawn yard, an Ipe pergola and an outdoor kitchen with built-in gas grill.

On the garden level, a lovely salon flows to a stately home office or guest bedroom. The oversized mudroom delivers generous storage for all of your gear from boots to bikes. A powder room for the main living space and a full bathroom are located at this level. One floor down, a 13-foot-tall great room invites all to relax with another wet bar and wine lovers will delight over an extraordinary 500-bottle wine cellar with dedicated cooling system and arched doorways. A fitness space is complemented by a spa bathroom with steam shower. Additional storage and the home’s mechanicals are also located on this level.
One floor above the parlor, the exquisite primary suite opens to an East-facing terrace overlooking the yard below. A windowed walk-in closet offers generous wardrobe storage, while the oversized en suite bathroom features a soaking tub, benched shower, private water closet, heated floors and double vanity with Waterworks fixtures surrounded by Calacatta marble. The fireplace den on this floor is perfect as a sitting area, nursery or media lounge with an en suite bathroom, featuring a clean fuel fireplace. On the fourth floor, you'll find a secondary suite with en suite bath, plus two more bedrooms that share an oversized hall bath with double sinks.
