138 Baltic Street, 5-C

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is a Cobble Hill gem, beautifully renovated and ingeniously functional. The architect-designed interior - stripped to the studs and rebuilt with high-quality, custom materials throughout - makes the most of every inch to provide warm, modern living space, great light, plentiful storage and maximum privacy. There are 4 quick flights up to this lovely home.

The apartment is pin-drop quiet, with new sound-proof insulation installed in floors and ceilings. The renovation also added a full second bath, washer-dryer, and all new windows.

The front door opens to a well-designed entry hall, with two deep closets. The living room beyond is flooded with light from large windows facing Baltic Street. Exposed brick and reclaimed wood shelves reference the original building structure, while precise carpentry frames the view toward historic brick and ironwork facades across the way. A large, custom-made pocket door glides open from the living room to the den or 3rd bedroom, with large window and closet, providing a space-expanding annex or solid privacy as needed.

The kitchen is open to the main living area for comfortable and easy entertaining. Crisp white custom cabinetry, polished nickel hardware, high-end integrated appliances and stone countertops are harmonized to both complement the overall aesthetic and provide convenient space and storage for anyone who loves to cook.

Another hidden pocket door - furnishing privacy and a substantial sound barrier - separates the main living area from the hallway leading to the washer/dryer closet, bedrooms and baths at the rear of the unit. The primary bedroom has a double-wide closet, cozy window seat and ample space for a bed and large bureau; its new, expanded en-suite bath includes a luxurious rain-head shower, built-in storage shelves and stylish tiles. The second bedroom is bathed in light from an oversized window, with custom-built window seat covering the radiator - a perfect perch to enjoy the serene view of the common garden. The second fully renovated bath is off the hallway, next to this bedroom, and includes a deep soaking tub plus recovered shelf space for bath essentials.
