144 N 8TH Street #8C

If you have been looking for that super special and elusive 2 bed, 2 bath with views, space, drama and convenience, look no further. Unit 8C at 144 N 8th street is that rare jewel in the midst of the mundane. A two-bedroom, two bath corner home that defies all expectations by offering 10 ceilings on a high-floor with protected skyline and water views out of every window, two spacious and private terraces, a generous and dramatic living room, dazzling light, and just a block from the subway and all of the best amenities that North Williamsburg has to offer. This is the only building situated between Bedford and Berry Streets that was allowed to build this high, so it is a unique opportunity to enjoy jaw-dropping views with the added convenience of a one block jaunt to the L train. Ahead of its time in terms of interior design and building amenities, it is truly a one-of-a-kind that has no equal.The apartment itself is a very generous 1200 SF corner split two bedroom that is divided by a large living room with extra space for dining and a 132 SF terrace right off the Southwest facing living room for easy al fresco entertaining. Enter through a generous gallery space and then prepare to be amazed by the views that await. The primary bedroom faces North and East through corner windows and offers a second 100 SF terrace and a large customized walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom faces South and West, also with corner windows, and is larger than average. A real chefs kitchen offers subtlety in design but maximum usability and includes a Sub Zero fridge and Bertazzoni range. Hand-made cabinets and black honed countertops recede into the background offering great storage without dominating the space, giving the spotlight to the views and light, perfect for entertaining.Two designer bathrooms feature a unique combination of hand-painted ceramic tiles, walnut vanities with excellent storage, and Hans Grohe fixtures. Custom light fixtures throughout are original Rich Brilliant and Willing fixtures and have been emulated, but never fully reproduced, by any other new development. Wide plank oak floors, floor-to-ceiling tilt and turn windows, and multi-zoned heating cooling are an additional accompaniment.This is a no-compromise home with unrivaled amenities. In addition to your private terraces in the sky you can also enjoy a common wild-flower meadow on the second floor rooftop, a windowed gym, a residents lounge, a full-time doorman, and each unit comes with a private storage cage. The tax abatement is in effect until 2025.
