Description
Live the Brownstone Brooklyn dream at 36 Schermerhorn Street. This exquisite, meticulously renovated, light-filled brownstone in the coveted Brooklyn Heights neighborhood is ready to impress. Stylish and move-in ready, this 5+ Bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home was recently gut renovated, under the guidance of renowned architect, Elizabeth Roberts. All details and materials were thoughtfully and tastefully integrated into the gorgeous, high-function redesign. Renowned architect and author, Paula Baker-Laporte, consulted on the project to bring a health-and-wellness-centric approach to the construction, with a strong focus on high quality natural materials. Every detail was considered, including solid wood beams and partitions, wool insulation, green roofing, a whole-house water filtration system, AC systems, natural stone and marble countertops throughout, and no VOC paints were used in the property. The entire home was laid with European walnut and all of the solid wood millwork was custom-built. Open-concept living, dining and entertaining space is maximized throughout the parlor floor and the lower level recreation space with two glass curtain window walls that each open up to the lush landscape designed garden with fruit trees and multi-level terrace and patio spaces. The large, bright open chef’s kitchen is outfitted with high-end stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry, and a delightful banquet for in-kitchen dining. A beautiful powder room is conveniently located on this level. The inviting living and dining areas are highlighted by gorgeous craftsmanship and custom wall finishes. These beautiful details carry throughout the home for a warm and welcoming feel. The garden level of the home is accessible internally, as well as from under the front stoop, which has recently been restored. Features include a bedroom and a full bath, a kitchenette, as well as a huge recreation space, which is currently being used as a media room with a nook for a home gym. Ample light streams in from the south-facing full window wall, which opens to the lower patio and tranquil garden. The gracious primary floor has its own private terrace, as well as several custom closets built for maximum storage and a sizable windowed office, which could also easily be converted to additional closet space. The luxurious and serene primary bathroom features radiant heated floors, a separate water closet, and stunning Moroccan tile. The top floor has three more bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a convenient large laundry room with LG washer and dryer. Come see for yourself all this amazing home has to offer; abundant thoughtfully designed space, quality luxury finishes, multi-level private outdoor space, all-new mechanicals, central air conditioning, designer lighting, hardwood floors, sprinkler system, and a full basement for additional storage space. All of this in beautiful tree-lined Brooklyn Heights, one of the most charming neighborhoods in New York City, with parks, shopping, and restaurants right outside your door and just minutes away from the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges and the 2, 3, 4, 5, R, F, A, and C trains.
