This glorious and unexpected 1650 SF South-facing 3-bedroom, 2-bath Penthouse, with a private 200 SF terrace, truly has no equal anywhere in Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill or Boerum Hill. Situated at the crossroads of three amazing neighborhoods, on the top floor of a doorman building just a stones throw to every single subway line at Borough Hall, this light-filled designer gem is the culmination of every luxury you could ever desire; incredible craftsmanship, super smart layout, South-facing windows in every room, central AC, a spacious laundry room, three sizable bedrooms, a separate dining area, large living room, terrace off the entertaining space, views, AND your very own custom fireplace.
