1 Hanson Place, 30-A

For the first time in ten years, a full-floor penthouse at the iconic One Hanson Place is available for sale. Nothing like this has ever been on the market in the Fort Greene area, and likely never will. Spectacularly renovated, PH30 was featured in the December 2021 edition of Architectural Digest. Its design is the result of the collaboration between Jaklitsch/Gardner Architects and the sellers. The result: three-bedrooms, converted from four, 3.5 bath, masterwork in the tower below the four-sided clock in the landmark former Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building. At over 3300 square feet, this pristine apartment is larger than most townhouses, but without the regular maintenance or security issues to concern you. Over 1300 square feet of open entertainment space is framed by 20 six-foot windows facing north to Midtown and west to the NY Harbor and Statue of Liberty. The bedrooms were situated in the rear of the apartment through a steel and glass-paned door, down a corridor lined with custom Venetian plaster walls. New, ebony—stained oak flooring below, 10.5-foot ceilings above, and custom lighting and built-ins throughout. PH30 is accessible via an elevator landing outside your front door. It offers 360-degree open, panoramic views of every borough — up the East River past Midtown to Queens and a bit of the Bronx, over Brooklyn’s historic districts to the NY Harbor, and the Verazzano Bridge to Staten Island — all through miles of open sky in every direction. The building rises at the nexus of five of Brooklyn’s most popular neighborhoods with easy access to the unique amenities in each of them. (Ft. Greene; Boerum Hill; Park Slope; Downtown Brooklyn and Prospect Heights). The entrance to the Atlantic Barclays Terminal, the third-largest transportation hub in New York, is outside the front door. From there, nine local and express subways provide easy access to almost every neighborhood in the City (2,3,4,5,B,D,N,Q,R). The LIRR station in the terminal provides rail transportation to JFK and points east. The building is surrounded by a variety of supermarkets, retail and restaurants, friendly cafes and lounges, and some of the best cultural venues in NY. The Brooklyn Academy of Music is next door, Barclays Center is a block away, Whole Foods and Apple are across the street, and Ft. Greene Park, with its tennis courts, hiking trails, and dog run, is a few blocks away. There are several parking garages nearby to choose from. This is arguably the most convenient location in Brooklyn. The southwest-facing corner primary bedroom has been combined with an adjacent bedroom through curved, telescoping, Paldao wood panels to create privacy for a den or media room when desired. The wall may easily be replaced with a solid wall to recreate a more traditional fourth bedroom. There are several large closets in the home with custom built-in storage areas. A sunny, pin-drop quiet, en suite bedroom, au pair room, or office is located down a short hallway with endless views over Brownstone Brooklyn. There is a separate entrance to this wing from the elevator landing. PH30 is filled with gorgeous, custom furniture and finishes, designed to create a sense of continuity and simple elegance. Much of the furnishings may be purchased as part of a broader sale if desired. Monthly assessment of $1116. Abated taxes until 2024. Pet friendly. Showing by appointment only.
