Description
Penthouse Duplex with Skyline Views at 96 Schermerhorn Street, Apt PHB
Welcome to a 1,000-square-foot duplex penthouse that blends historic charm with modern convenience in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn. Once the basketball gym of the Brooklyn Law School dormitory, this unique home features soaring 11-foot ceilings and expansive southern views, including the Verrazano Bridge, with shared rooftop access offering panoramic vistas of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.
The apartment offers 1.5 bedrooms, including a large walk-in closet that can easily be transformed into a home office, nursery, or creative space. The open-concept living area is finished with 5-inch solid oak floors and anchored by a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and Blue Star gas stove, Caesarstone countertops, and solid maple front cabinets with generous storage.
A convenient half bathroom is located on the lower level, while the upstairs full bath is outfitted with elegant Duravit fixtures. Tucked beneath the staircase is a built-in office area with additional storage, making smart use of the home's vertical space.
96 Schermerhorn Street is a full-service building with a 24/7 doorman, full-time super, second-floor laundry room, recycling, bike storage, and additional private storage. The location is ideal - just a short walk to the A, C, F, G, 4, and 5 subway lines, with neighborhood favorites like Trader Joe's, Sahadi's, Joe's Pizza, and a wide array of restaurants, cafes, and shops just around the corner.
