Description

Showing by appointment Saturday and Sunday, 5/13 and 5/14. Light filled, architecturally designed and newly renovated in 2021, this corner Downtown Brooklyn home spans over 1,000 SF, with 2 windowed bedrooms + office/gallery, 1.5 baths and soaring 12' ceilings throughout.

This airy, loft-like space has 5 oversized windows, an abundance of well-designed storage and clever details. Built with clean lines and subtle details, all doors are 9' tall solid core; each room has hidden A/C; modern ceiling fans; and glorious new, blond, wide plank hardwood floors. Bonuses include a10' by 5' lofted storage attic and a special Marcel Duchamp-like door that is open when it is closed (come see it!).

Heat, hot water and cooking gas are all included in the monthly maintenance.

A welcoming sense of arrival includes a tall coat closet, powder room for guests and the office/gallery which leads to the bright and spacious living/dining area.

The East-facing bedroom is bright with two huge windows, a large closet plus the useful attic space. The South-facing bedroom also has a large window and includes an entire wall of closets. The newly renovated full bath offers custom storage vanity, Robern double medicine cabinet and deep soaking tub.

The thoughtful modern kitchen design provides loads of storage space with two stacked rows of upper cabinets plus a large pantry. These sleek dark cabinets are paired perfectly with white-glass countertops and gray Bisazza floor tiles. Appliances include top-of-the-line Sub-Zero refrigerator, stainless-steel dishwasher, range, hood, and microwave. A carefully placed overhead fan completes the comfort here.

Well-managed, 96 Schermerhorn Street is a full-service co-op offering 24/7 concierge/doorman, on-site super, two large newly renovated elevators, FIOS, laundry facilities, a bike room, storage (w/wait list) and a common roof deck with water views. Two pets are welcome. This 1928 art deco corner building originally served as St John's law school. Formerly commercial, the building has concrete floors (great for sound attenuation) unusually high ceilings, large windows, great light, and a large, detailed lobby with attractive seating.

Located on the edge of Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum and Cobble Hills, this superbly convenient location is near 10 subway lines, multiple parking garages, restaurants, cafes, hardware, grocery stores, banks, pharmacies, and more, all nearby.
