373 Van Brunt Street

This soaring industrial chic two family townhome was designed by the architect/owner to embrace Red Hook's rough-hewn history by incorporating repurposed salvaged beams, exposed brick, and structural steel. But built into the timeless design are all the comforts of modern living: radiator and forced air dual-fuel heating and AC system, gigabit Fios, Bang & Olufsen speakers with Bluetooth, green roof, landscaped roof deck, solar power back-up, and deluxe resilient materials throughout.
On the street level is the original 19th century storefront, a studio apartment with full bath and "origami" kitchenette, storage and access to the deep, lush, landscaped garden. The first floor has a commercial overlay and one could create an ideal gallery or professional office space. The double height (22 ft) living area on the second floor is a wonder of angles and architectural interest. There is an open kitchen, dining and living space with a massive exposed brick art-wall, a guest bedroom, den/media room, full bath and laundry. The main bedroom is on the third floor at the quiet rear of the house and features an open plan bath with a claw foot tub, pedestal sink, and water closet tucked behind a sliding door. There are two additional bedrooms, including one with French doors overlooking the main living space, and a second full bath. The top-floor home office is a coveted perch surrounded by windows, but the crowning glory of this house is the one-of-a-kind, two-tiered roof deck with unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, the Verrazano Bridge and everything in between. There is built-in seating and storage, a romantic pergola, grilling area, Ipe decking, built-in planters, green-roof area, and a tiled mudroom with a deep cast iron sink for easy post-party and gardening clean-up. It's a short stroll to the booming Brooklyn waterfront on Red Hook's most vibrant street. One look at this extraordinary property in Brooklyn's most dynamic neighborhoods and you'll be Red-Hooked by this lofty have-it-all home. Shown by Appointment Only.
