29 Tompkins Place #2

Many factors place this pristine apartment at the top of its class. Like Hans Place in London, Tompkins Place is a destination address, one of the most beguiling blocks in Brooklyn architecturally and by dint of its appealing location. This stunning residence occupies the parlour floor of a noble 22ft townhouse. It was recently renovated by a prominent designer with a connoisseur?s sensitivity to detail. The plan is both comfortable and striking. Soaring ceilings evoke its 1910 date of construction, an ambiance which is elevated by myriad modern touches. All day light courses through oversize windows. Sublime views of historic Tompkins Place adorn the airy living room and dining area. A gorgeous chef?s kitchen and expansive dining area opening loftlike into the common area is the centerpiece of the space, replete with the latest Miele appliances, custom oak floors, Corian counters, dimmable LED lighting, fixtures and cabinetry. A splendid master bedroom suite opens onto a lovely 22ft wide deck overlooking an enchanted garden. The generous master bath is a marvel of understated luxury. And who wouldn?t swoon over the ample, well-conceived master closet designed with every form of customizable Elfa shelving and storage imaginable. Add a cutting edge laundry, virtually silent central air conditioning, motor-driven black out and solar window treatments and Verizon Fios service. Dining and entertainment of an amazing variety are a hop and a step away, even Manhattan if you are ambitious. If not, public transport abounds. May be the best ?place? to live in Brooklyn.
