Property Description for 17 Douglass Street

A newly completed townhouse residence by ECKSTROM.

Delivered fully finished and ready for immediate occupancy, the brand-new home pairs contemporary architectural clarity with an old-world sensibility, and may be delivered fully furnished and designed as shown.

Organized across five levels, with nearly all of its volume positioned above grade, the house is defined by light, proportion, and a deliberate sense of calm. Rooms unfold with clarity and restraint, allowing scale and material to do the work rather than ornament or excess.

At the heart of the parlor level is a Henrybuilt kitchen conceived as a fixed architectural element, anchored by integrated Gaggenau appliances and framed by wide-plank Dinesen floors that run throughout the residence. Natural stone, warm wood, and custom millwork establish a palette that feels tactile, grounded, and intentionally timeless.

Light is treated as a primary material. A thoroughtly curated lighting package creates a soft, evolving atmosphere from day to evening, reinforcing the home's sense of quiet continuity. Throughout, ceiling heights, circulation, and window placement are calibrated to favor ease and openness over formality.

Additional spaces, including a fitness room, sauna, elevator, and multiple outdoor areas, are integrated with the same discipline as the primary rooms, maintaining balance across the house. While rooted in its historic context, the residence has been entirely rebuilt with passive house techniques, with all structure, systems, and finishes completed anew.

17 Douglass Street belongs to a limited body of townhouse residences by ECKSTRØM, each conceived as a singular work rather than a repeatable product. Fully resolved and delivered as intended, the home reflects a studio practice centered on longevity, material integrity, and quiet domestic architecture.

A private parking space is available for separate purchase and is located approximately a five-minute walk from the residence.

Cobble Hill | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

The neighborhood now known as Cobble Hill was originally settled by Dutch farmers in the mid-1600s. Tucked along the East River, in the heart of Brooklyn, Cobble Hill is known for its welcoming, leafy streets, independent mom-and-pop shops, and 19th century brownstones.

Most of Cobble Hill lies within an historic landmark district, and building heights are restricted to 50 feet, which helps maintain its 19th century atmosphere. Building owners will often split the use of their four- or five-story buildings, occupying several of the top floors and renting out the ground floor as apartments or, conversely, occupying one or more of the lower floors and renting out the top floors. New construction and alterations to existing buildings in the historic district require approval by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, which helps maintain the historic character of the Cobble Hill neighborhood.

Although most housing in Cobble Hill consists of traditional brownstones and brick townhouses,, you will also find churches that have been converted to condos, carriage houses that have become luxury apartments and Victorian school houses that have been converted into lofts.

Court Street and Atlantic Avenue are the main commercial streets in the neighborhood. You will find popular Middle Eastern restaurants on Atlantic Avenue. Court Street is home to casual restaurants, many with outdoor seating, relaxed cafes and hip bars.

Many young professionals and families live in the brownstones, townhouses, and single-family homes that line the leafy streets. Cobble Hill is a great place to live if you work on Wall Street, as you can walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to work.
