Property Details
Description
Welcome to Residence 8E at 96 Schermerhorn Street, a thoughtfully updated home set at the crossroads of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill and Downtown Brooklyn. This location places you in one of the most connected pockets of the borough, and the apartment offers a level of scale and character that is hard to find at this price point. The moment you step inside, the newly updated floors set the tone. They bring a sense of warmth and clarity to the space and guide you toward an open living area that feels both relaxed and intentional. The kitchen has been fully reimagined with clean cabinetry lines, premium counters and high quality appliances. It anchors the home with a quiet confidence and delivers the kind of function that supports everyday living without sacrificing style. Tall ceilings (approx 12") and large windows draw in steady natural light and give the apartment a loft-like feel that enhances the sense of volume. The building offers a full time doorman, a bike room and an on site laundry facility, all of which simplify the rhythm of daily life. Beyond the front door, you are minutes from Smith St and 1 block away from Court St which offer some of the best cafes, local shops and cultural touch points in Brooklyn. Transit options are abundant (9 subways within 3 blocks) and make the commute into Manhattan or across the borough remarkably efficient. Residence 8E offers more than square footage. It offers ease, comfort and a neighborhood that continues to grow in demand. I invite you to schedule a private visit and see why this home stands out. Pets are allowed and co-purchasing is permitted. Subletting is permitted for 3 years in a 5 year period, after owning for at least 2 years. Parents buying for working children and pied-à-terre are not permitted.
