PH1A at the Hendrik is truly a sunny delight. Facing South, West and North, this luxurious penthouse unit enjoys amazing sunlight all day long.
This is evident from the moment you arrive in the gracious windowed foyer. Bathed in southern sunlight, there is plentiful space to sit and take off shoes, park a stroller, or display art on the expansive gallery wall. The powder bathroom is located at the end of the foyer.
Turning the corner and entering the Great Room, the high ceilings and large corner windows create an airy and bright space. It is appointed with custom built-in shelving. The room is very open while still having distinct spaces for living and dining. The kitchen overlooks the living and dining area. It is outfitted in walnut cabinetry and Calacatta marble countertops which create a classic yet contemporary design. There are Miele appliances including a 30-inch refrigerator, gas stove with vented range, speed oven, microwave and dishwasher. The large island creates an extra sitting space for barstools.
Off the dining area is the first of two outdoor spaces. This terrace has views of Brownstone Brooklyn and the Statue of Liberty. It also features a gas grill for all your barbeque needs, and a water line for all of your plants and herbs.
On the other side of the apartment, you can find the bedroom wing. The primary bedroom suite has a wall of windows and can easily fit a King sized bed. There are custom built-ins in the bedroom for more storage space, and the walk-through closet has also been customized. The five-fixture primary bathroom enjoys a double sink, huge shower and luxurious soaking tub.
Beyond the primary suite are two more secondary bedrooms. One includes access to the second private outdoor space, the balcony overlooking an interior garden. The two bedrooms are connected through a common space and share a full bathroom. An additional closet and separate vented washer/dryer are also accessible from this common space.
The apartment includes triple-paned sound attenuating windows, wide-plank oak floors, a multi-zoned central heating and air system, custom electric blinds, and a Bowers & Wilkins built-in speaker system that connects to Sonos.

Quick Profile
Boerum Hill is a tiny, quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. There are broad tree-lined streets that are filled with elegant three and four-story brownstones and townhouses, mostly built between 1840 and 1870. There is a definite family vibe to the neighborhood, but young professionals are moving in, and with them are coming trendy bars to cater to their desire for some measure of nightlife, without having to linger in Manhattan. These new bars and restaurants are being sandwiched in amongst existing shops on both Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, which are the main commercial areas in Boerum Hill.
Boerum Hill offers a convenient location that is still able to maintain its small-neighborhood feel. Shopkeepers value their customers and remember their regulars. It continues to do what it was designed to do, namely provide small-town living in the very shadow of the big city. Boerum Hill is an easy commute to other parts of the city, making it easy to come home every day to the peace and tranquility of Boerum Hill while commuting to a job anywhere in the city.
The neighborhood is quite walkable and you can take the time to catch up with your neighbors while visiting on their stoops. Shopping on Atlantic Avenue is stress-free with no high pressure. You can meet with friends at any of the many coffee shops and while away pleasant hours in conversation. The dining scene on Smith Street is similarly laid-back. Don’t expect that there will be quite as much to see or do as there is in Manhattan, but there are a decent number of interesting bars and restaurants providing a measure of nightlife. The trade-off is worth it, as Boerum Hill provides a quiet, peaceful place to live and raise a family.
