Description
The Penthouse at 119 Congress Street is the crown jewel of townhouse condominium living in Cobble Hill. This exceptional 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom duplex spans over 1,500 square feet and offers nearly 1,000 square feet of private outdoor space spread across multiple levels. A true penthouse, this home is the result of a meticulous, multi-year renovation that added an entire additional floor and several private outdoor spaces to a landmark 25-foot-wide building.
The spacious great room features soaring ceilings, a custom-built wall unit, and a fireplace, creating an inviting setting for relaxing or entertaining. The open chef's kitchen is outfitted with a new island offering extra storage and prep space, top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a Calacatta marble backsplash, and bespoke cabinetry. The sunlit primary and second bedrooms overlook tranquil gardens, and the newly upgraded primary suite includes a wall of custom closets. Both bathrooms are elegantly finished with Carrara marble, Nero Marquina accents, and Lefroy Brooks fixtures.
The home's multiple terraces must be seen to be believed-each space thoughtfully designed for entertaining, lounging, or gardening. The topmost terrace clears most neighboring rooftops, offering stunning panoramic views of Manhattan and the harbor. Thoughtful upgrades throughout elevate the home even further, including custom planters with irrigation systems on all terraces, a wood-paneled entryway with space for art and hooks, motorized blinds from The Shade Store, white oak herringbone floors, designer lighting, multi-zone climate control, solid core doors, oversized Marvin windows, and Baldwin keyless locks. The building also features a Virtual Doorman for added convenience.
Located on picturesque Congress Street in the heart of Cobble Hill, this residence offers close proximity to neighborhood favorites along Court and Smith Streets, Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the Borough Hall transit hub. The Penthouse at 119 Congress Street is a rare and remarkable opportunity to live above it all in one of Brooklyn's most beloved neighborhoods. Welcome home.
