13 Cranberry Street

> This early Federal townhouse on Cranberry Street was exquisitely and expertly restored in 2005, and displays a fine Georgian sensibility combined with flawless modern design. > It was the first of three adjoining town houses built in 1828 by the English sea captain Richard Mortimer, and the home of the captain and his wife Emily. > It is minutes from Manhattan, just over the Brooklyn Bridge, and steps from the Promenade. > North and south exposures fill the interior with natural light, and window views are of the 19th century streetscape from the front, and the Manhattan skyline and brownstone gardens from the rear. > From the front stoop, there is a view of NY Harbor, in the direction of the Captain's walk down the hill to his ship. > Double front doors open to a wide entrance gallery of unusual depth, and an elegant set-back staircase. > This hallway opens to an immense double parlor, with 12' ceilings, ideal for displaying large works of art. > In the extension at the rear of the double parlor there is a modern kitchen overlooking the garden. > The second and third floors have high ceilings with lovely bedrooms, and sitting and hall rooms. > The garden level is an open floor-through studio space with separate entrance, and natural light front and back. > This landmark home is 25' wide and 52' deep on three floors, with a fourth floor at 40' depth, approximately 5,000 square feet. > There are ten rooms in all, with five bedrooms and three and one half baths. > A large attic with dormer window and finished basement provide extensive additional storage space. > All new state of the art systems include zoned central heat and air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical, internet and security.
